Pretty Incredible! For Erica

I've been hit by a truck I believe. Is it too early for flu season? Does an incredible, head poundng, can't open my eyes headache come with the flu? In addition I've had a fever as high as 103.5, lots of lower back pain, and a bit of a sore throat.

So I made an appointment with the doctor today. You maybe saying to yourself 'what a freaking wimp' but let me tell you I could handle the rest, just not the head ache.

By the time I went back to the nurses station I was in tears and managed to cry throughout my time with the doctor. It's not strep, it maybe a bladder infection (that has been sent off for further testing). In the meantime she provided me with a 'bandaid'...vicodin and finnigen. After a 4 hour nap this afternoon I can finally open my eyes, but it's still painful to turn them from side to side. I wonder if my headache will be gone once the drugs wear off.

A HUGE thanks to Dean & Donna who played tag team with the kids today so I could rest. I couldn't have done it without you.

Here is a sneak peak of Savannah in her Halloween costume. Caedmon will be a fireman, Savannah a dalmatian.








Caedmon will kill me one day for this!
