Headed For Recovery

So I've managed to scrape myself back up a little- and hopefully I'll become a bit more interesting again soon :)
Anyway- for some updates- I conquered the pneumonia, however, I have a mild ear-infection trying to start up that I'm fighting rather aggressively with mucinex and Tylenol (and my beloved zicam lol) anyway :) I think I'll manage to knock that out without a hitch (god pleease! I can't afford another dr's visit lol-at least wait for me to get insurance before I get sick again!)
Owen is almost all better- they put him on a stronger antibiotic when the augmentin didn't completely knock out the pneumonia and he got a double ear infection on top of it-- he's still coughing but faring much much better
Dave had a PET scan this past Tuesday- no results yet- will update on that more later
Also, I dropped one of my classes to lighten my load a little and have managed to catch up a little and may actually manage some good grades this semester (*crosses fingers*) whether or not I will have to repay my grants remains to be seen- but I think this late into it if anything they'll just adjust it and i'd have to pay for that one class out of pocket if anything (I can hope!) :)
And I just thought I'd add that I adore my new daycare :) I couldn't ask for a more supportive bunch of women and I'm just astounded at how well Owen has been doing since he started there- he's happier more playful and learning even more :) (oh and we get an art project to take home every day to boot) :) I LOVE them :) lol- just thought I'd share :)

When It Rains... It Really Does Pour...

Wow-- this year has not been so hot so far. Sorry for the quiet page for the past few weeks- I've been in misery health-wise. Dave initially got sick (presumably because whatever was already wrong with his lungs made him more vulnerable) (which for those of you who don't already know- he's got a mass in his lungs that we're still trying to figure out what it is)-- anywho-- so then Owen wound up getting really sick- home 4 days in a row with a fever between 103.5 and 105 + a horrible cough.. it was horrible.. then he started a round of antibiotics and then...predictably... I got sick... but i didn't just simply get sick-- i got REALLY sick-- like pneumonia sick... and it's not responding to antibiotics at all.. I started on amoxicillin first (because well.. with no insurance antibiotics are a little out of my budget so we tried to throw some hope at it lol)... well.. quite frankly-- it did absolutely nothing- and next.. i took z-pack (azithromyicin) which started to make me feel better... but.. ultimately in the last day and a half of my supply my cough started to come back-- and I thought it was ok- but then... today... it came back with a vengeance.. and now.. i can't sleep... which I'm sure is only going to make it worse... so.. i decided to give the codeine script i never filled a try tonight.. and it seems to be helping slightly.. so hopefully i can sleep soon.. but.... man this has been rough-- and obviously all this has not helped in the least with me catching up with my school work-- so... I'm just kind of slipping away.. but.. hopefully all will be well again soon- I'm going back to the doctor (AGAIN) tomorrow after i drag my sorry ass to class in the morning (I hope anyway lol- we'll see if i manage to make... i may well end up completely retaking my classical mythology class.. because I'll be really surprised if i don't fail it (you think I'm kidding-- but seriously I'm doing worse this semester than I've done in my entire life at school- i just pulled a 74% on my physiology exam 3 weeks ago- that's unheard of for me.. i just can't even believe what's happening...) for those of you with religious hearts... pray for me.. i really need it right now... i don't know what happened but the holidays hit, passed, and when i came out on the other side my life was upside down and something just snapped and i can't get things back how they were... something has to give.. right?

What a DAY!

Sooo-- i spent most of today working on my pc-- i couldnt help myself-- i just got obsessed with it-- i worked on it much more than i should have considering the amount of work i have for my classes really-- tomorrow will be spent all day at the state library looking through microfilm (YAY) :) lol and then well.. ok-- so not the whole day-- i get to write a paper about the infamous Franklin Click :) (will post that paper for sure :) ) anyway-- its gotten rather interesting-- he's a character to be sure :) had a wife and lots of kids :) anyway... uhmmm :)
OH :) another update :) i'm reading a new book :) so far so good and loving the hell out of it :)
Bravo For the Marshallese-Holly M. Barker :)
If you have any politica/scandal/coverupl interest i suggest reading it :) (as well as if you have any interest in indigenous peoples or just simply like learning about the various cultures of the world as i do lol :)-- I may speak more on this book later :)
ALSO :) Dave decided to go and injure himself in his sleep last night lol :D (ok-- i MAY have had something to do with that prior to actually going to sleep O:) ) but he is now on high potency muscle relaxers and vikadin (SP??) he has a muscle in his neck/shoulder that is spasming nonstop-- just wont let go-- he can barely turn his head poor guy :( i feel bad because i havent been able to pull myself away from this damned computer long enough to go baby him :) (but am about to so it'll all be good :) i just have to finish up here and check for my consultant one more time :) )
soooo anyway... not sure what else i was intending to update/rant about :) but i'm sure it will come to me :) i'll come back tomorrow afternoon :) (oh-- and more pics to come soon-- i've been a little bogged down and well-- needless to say getting on the internet has been a little hellish for me :) )

Poor baby :((

I feel so bad for my little boy today!! he's not wanting to do anything except lie on the couch with thomas playing-- he's getting his 2 year molars on one side finally--- and he's just miserable-- every time he gets a new tooth he gets excessively high fevers--and that is much the case today-- we're alternating between 102 and 103 (for his temperature) :( he has a slight cough and sneeze but that's it (mostly from the excess drainage and stuff building up-- i dont think its a full blown cold-- it ususally isnt) so... i guess studying is out except during naps-- cause i cant concentrate with the tv going (wierd i know.. but i have to study in absolute silence)..... so... i thought i'd come on here for a bit.... i'm going to see if he's up for some vegan pigs in a blanket later (what mommy really wants anyway) :) but--- i'm sure all he'll want is "soy nuggets" lol :D have a good day!! thanks for stopping in!!
