I'm one hot mama



But not the way I'd like. I have been extremely sick the past few days. I started running a fever, sore throat and really run down. By Monday morning, I was running an extremely high fever. I topped out at 105.5. I couldn't even move. I just cried. Luckily my Mom had the day off and was able to come over and help with the girls for the first part of the day. Dusty was able to come home from work early too.

I went to the doctor and she was amazed by how sick I was. By the time I got in there, my fever was hovering at 103. My heart rate was 160 and my blood pressure was high. She said I was sicker than the average patient and she wanted me to come back the next day. I left with my scripts and went right home to bed.

I went back to the doctor yesterday for my follow-up. She could see some improvement but still classified me as one sick mama. She asked if Dusty was able to take time off work to help. I told her that he did stay home to help me. She offered to write him a sick note for work because I shouldn't be doing anything but resting and drinking lots of liquids.

I am feeling a bit better today. Dusty took today off work again to help. My throat still really hurts and I'm still exhausted. I don't have much energy. I really hope I'm back to normal tomorrow. I don't have time to be this sick!!
