I didn't send the girls to school. Mallory coughed in her sleep about all night long, and come morning she said her legs were aching and her head hurt. Mikyla wasn't coughing but she seemed tired, so I let her stay home too. By noon, I could hear that Mallory's cough had gotten deeper and her breathing was shallow, fast and shallow.. and I thought we'd better get her to her doctor, I just didn't like the sound of that breathing. She was fine last night, a slight cough but nothing major..
Her doctor took a lung xray and the lining of her left lung is irritated and he said we have to watch her closely because this could go into pneumonia. After doing a nose swab he found that she has the flu. Since we've all been exposed to it, he's prescribed Tamiflu for all of us, so here we go. Keep her in your prayers, the little doll has such a hard time when she gets sick.
Also, we got the absolute worst news possible concerning my Aunt Midge. The last I wrote about her here, was when she was put into ICU... what my Uncle didn't tell us was that she was in a coma, and has been since they put her back there. He called us tonight to tell us that it's pretty much over. Tomorrow he has to decide whether or not to take her off of the ventilators and let her go. He just flat told me today that there's really no hope. Those words made my stomach sink. No hope. Midge, you have to pull out of this.. you just have to.
Please remember her in your prayers.
And the little Barbie stove is at it again. I turned the switch off myself, and I put it out on the porch. It's still talking and beeping. I hate that thing.
