Holidays = ER

At least that seems to be the trend at the Cargill household. The good news is that this had nothing to do with Payton. She is happy and healthy. However, Mommy is not so lucking. Remember when I said I had a nasty cold. Well, that part was true. I had a nasty upper respiratory infection. However, the infection turned into Pneumonia.

Out of 24 hours on Friday, I can honestly say I remember four of them, and three were at the doctor. When I woke up at 3:30 a.m. I knew things were not good. I called my Mom and off to Care Now we went at 8:00 a.m. According to my oxygen in take, blood work and chest x-ray, I had full blown Pneumonia. So bad in fact, the doctor told me I was borderline on having to go the hospital for IV treatment. Instead, I had to promise lots of fluids and rest. The doctor also prescribed the strongest antibiotic possible over the counter.

I stayed with my mom over the weekend so she could watch Payton, and went straight to bed from the doctor's office. The only thing I remember is throwing up a couple of times, and my mom making me change cloths a couple of times because my fever kept breaking over and over again causing me to sweet through the cloths I was wearing. I know TMI, but that is how my Labor Day weekend kicked off.

All and all I do feel better; however, I am still very weak and the antibiotic is doing a number on my stomach. It is also making me have some very vivid dreams.

Derek had to work all weekend, and Payton played with my mom and her cousin Cooper. On Monday we did go shopping and bought Ms. Payton some fall clothes. She is growing like a weed. She also LOVES, LOVES, LOVES potato soup.

Hope everyone had a better Holiday Weekend than me.
