"The End of the World As We Know It" - our Life at the present

Ah, an absence from the blogosphere. My apologies to the ones who come for the pictures of my lens loving monster of a son ;). (I love his pictures too) However life in the Chaotic household has been one of upheaval since last friday.

While I spent the day running errands feeling "off" (which I chalked up to pms - with out getting tmi) I suddenly crashed after Chris got home to feeling awful. By Saturday night I had a fever, chills, the sweats you name it. Sunday during the day I was feeling better somewhat, despite the cough from HELL. By monday, I had a migraine that rivaled the cough from hell. So to the Dr. we went. We saw the same Doctor that said my cough a week earlier, "It's just viral, annoying but it will go away eventually but nothing to be worried about". Yeah not so much anymore. I had blood work and 2 chest xrays. "Bacterial pnemonia looks a certain way - yours doesn't look exactly like it, so I think it's viral still, but it's a really soft call, so we are going to treat it as bacterial just in case."

So there you have it. I'm coughing up a lung here (with only an antibiotic - that if I'm not feeling any better by Friday to go back to the doctor - ) with pnumonia. Who knows how or why I caught it. Here it is wednsday and I don't have the fever, but am winded pretty easily still. Jr is taking full advantage of this, and I'm VERY thankful Chris has been able to get off early!
