And So It Goes

From my doctor yesterday:

Hi Mandy

Results came back
Strep throat NEGATIVE

Mono test NEGATIVE

Likely viral

Hope your throat is feeling better.

Yes. Finally. On day 11, the sore throat abated. Jake slept through the night (thanfully) as did I thanks to a cough suppressant. (I have never resorted to a cough suppressant before, but David told me it was that or the couch.)

I finally awoke this am after 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep feeling almost healthy, if you don't count a raging sinus cold.

David awoke complaining of a sore throat. And the beginnings of a cough. I'd tell him he'll feel better soon, but, well, we all know that ain't the truth.

2 Heard through the grapevine:

Is that what you saw when you heard from the doctor? Because you are most definitely sick if you did!

;)

I hope you handed the cough suppressant to David with your love to share. I also hope you're crossing the hump of this battle!

There is something weird going on right now with "the sick". People are getting what should be 24-48 hour bugs that last weeks.

I don't know what the story is.
