Sick

Jason started getting sick last Thursday night. We still went to Galena with some friends over the weekend where Jason developed a really nasty cough and a burning sensation through his lungs. He was taking decongestants to help with his sinus pressure. We got home Sunday evening where we slept on the couch to help Jason drain. Monday, Jason called in sick to work and he went to the doctor. He has an ear infection, sinus infection and bronchial infection. They put him on some drugs and antibiotics. Today was the first day he felt well enough to go back to work. It wore him out though, he took a nap when he got home.

I started to feel very exhausted this week and started to get some sinus pressure yesterday. I stayed home and went to the doctor today. I have the beginning of a sinus infection, but they won't put me on antibiotics unless it gets worse over the next week. I was told to keep taking Tylenol and start taking some Sudafed for the congestion. I spent most of the day in and out of sleep on the couch. I'm glad I have tomorrow off of work. The baby is still moving up a storm, so the infection hasn't seemed to slow the baby down any. Of course it's been getting a lot of orange juice today!

We started our parenting class last night. It was interesting. The session last night talked a lot about what a newborn will possibly look like right after it's born and for the next few hours afterwards. It also showed us how to do infant massage. Next week we learn about basic care.

  1. I know how you feel about the sinus stuff! Been there! I had a touch of the flu this week so be careful with that going around too. Rest while you can!
