Have you missed me? I’ve seriously missed you all! On the 18th Anne came down with a fever that lasted for 5 straight days and she lost 3 lbs in those 5 days. Now 3 lbs may not seem like a lot to most people but when you consider that most toddlers average weight gain over a year is between 3 and 4 lbs then that number is a little more frightening. As soon as her temperature broke, mine kicked it in to high gear. It turns out Anne had Strep B (I didn’t even know there was more than one kind of strep until last week!).
I have now been sick for a week and yesterday I finally dragged my butt to the doctor to get a lovely diagnosis of bronchitis mixed in with a severe asthma attack for which I am now on antibiotics and steroids. I am hoping to be on the mend by the end of this week, and I’m so sorry that I have up and disappeared.
You have until tomorrow evening to enter your finish for January’s A Lovely Year of Finishes Party and the February goal setting party will start on Friday so start thinking about what you want to work on next month. I have one big deadline I will be working on in February and I will share that with you on Friday.
Have a great day! I will be spending my day convalescing.
I hope you are feeling better soon my friend. I’m keeping you in my prayers.
Hope you’ll be better soon! Looking forward to Friday.
No need to apologize. Get some rest and feel better!
Feel better soon! It’s never fun when you’re sick and feel like doing nothing. Hope your meds kick in soon!!! Hugs…
I hope the meds have you back to at least close to normal by the weekend! Take care of yourself! *HUGS*
Oh take care of you! I hereby volunteer to lose any weight that any other poorly people don’t want to lose!
Get well soon!
Eeek that all sounds really rough and puts my horrible week into perspective, hope you’re both on the mend soon.
You were missed. I’m so glad you finally went to the doctor. Feel better really soon. I’m sure now that your baby is feeling better she’ll pack the weight back on.
I sorry to hear you have both been so ill. You just concentrate on getting well.
Take all the time that you and Anne need….much love and hugs, and hope that you both are much better soon!
I hope you are better soon. A friend of mine has strep and the flu. She also has asthma. It`s been a long haul but she is finally getting better. Your health is more important than a blog. Your readers will still be here when you are feeling better. I am glad your daughter is well.
Sorry to hear you both have been sick! Sending you both a big hug, Get Well Soon!!
Feel better soon! We miss you!
No need to apologize. It can’t be helped. I am sure that was a tough time seeing Anne go through all that but glad you and her are on the mend.
I have missed you, hope you all feel much better soon!
Still??? Feel better soon!
Darn. Here I thought you were waiting for the linky to close and you and Anne were off having mom-daughter bonding time! I like my idea better than you two being sick! Is she gaining back the weight?
Praying for a speedy recovery for both of you! In the mean time,get lots of rest,and we will be here when you are better :0)
We Have missed you! And certainly hope you are feeling better sooner than FAST!
I hope you start feeling better soon Melissa and than Anne gains her weight back….this has been a hard winter for so many people! Miss you!
