A pretty good day!

Praise the Lord ! I had a good day despite not such a good night I lay awake worrying and couldn't sleep. I didn't know that Josh and Sam both have ear pain. See in my room wiht the door closed I hear nothing from the world. I get lots of rest but am very isolated as to what is happening. I really have no clue. :-(

Sam felt Josh's pain wasn't that bad so he gave him medicine and Josh fell asleep. I was upset when I found out because it was already 10 pm - urgent care was closed and Josh was now sleeping. I felt guilty I couldn't take care of my husband or son that were both sick now. So I prayed all night for them both and that Bre would stay healthy too!

So I tossed and turned all night. Then I lay awake all night praying Josh would make it through the night so we could take him to urgent care this morning. I hadn't thought about what that would do to me - not go to sleep. So in the morning I was VERY tired and wiped out. Sam went to church (I was sad I missed it) but Breanna stayed home to hang out with Josh and I fell asleep. Hurray!

I hope he will feel well enough to go to school because tomorrow will be day 8. The hospitals say it is safe but I am not convinced so I am staying away from my family still. I wish someone had real data saying when it is safe again. I have the full body scan in one week and will feel much better then knowing something real. It is so hard because this is something you cannot see.

The only side effect I still have is my taste is off but I find if I suck on lemon drops it helps restore the taste. I like lemon candy so bonus - it is an easy thing to do! WOW! I just googled and someone said gum worked faster and they were right! I love gum so this should be easy! I didn't do it before because I had no discomfort and my glands didn't feel clogged. But I guess since I didn't chew gum over time I developed this strange taste in my mouth. Strange... well gum you are my new found friend! The gum tastes normal to me! Yippee!

I don't look forward to another week of seclusion but am praying for wisdom. I will have Sam use the geiger counter again today to see how hot I still am. It is lessening I just don't think as fast as I would like. Praying I am low enough for the parties next weekend!

I am off to watch Sleepless in Seattle - see you all soon!
