Thanks y'all for the prayers. We are feeling better, but not quite 100% yet. This illness has really taken it's toll on us as a family. It took us down fast that's for sure. Anyway, Saturday I ended up at the hospital, they have an out of hours GP service, and even though I had an "appointment" we still waited over 2 hours to be seen. It was a lovely sight- lots of other people that were coughing, throwing up or generally not well all crammed into one hallway, with only about 7 chairs. We sat on the floor (gross!) and then finally as the chairs were being emptied, I got a seat that Bailey and I shared. At this time, Bailey was running such a high fever, that she was lethargic in our arms and half asleep. It was so sad. Anyway, the doctor said I had sinusitis and bronchitis on top of what I think was the flu as well. He gave me some antibiotics which I was extremely grateful for! I asked him about looking at Bailey just to make sure her ears were clear, etc and he reluctantly did but told me that if he found anything he would not treat her because my name was on the "appointment" list. Gee, thanks man you're a real star. What I really felt like saying was- "Well Doctor, we had an appointment at 5:10pm and it's now almost 7pm and you just keep asking for 'who is next' instead of looking at your appointment list. You really know how to start a riot don't you?"
By Sunday afternoon the meds had kicked in and I was starting to feel normal again thank goodness. Marc and Bailey are getting better too, and I think we are all just left feeling drained. Apart from my sinus headache and cough, I'm doing much better. Thank you for praying for us, we really appreciate it. Hopefully by Christmas we will all be back to health and will be able to enjoy it together. Two sick parents and two sick kids make lots of practice for being patient. I'm pretty sure I've failed at this test this week.
It's now time to disinfect my house, so I must go. I'm trying not to do too much, but I just can't stand it any longer. After taking Cerys to school yesterday, grocery shopping and picking her up that morning, I was beyond exhausted. But you have to have food right? And Kleenex. Now I have to have CLEAN-NESS.
Be back later-

O goodness! So sorry you had to endure a trip to the dr. In Feb. when I took Ben to the ER we were surrounded by coughing, sniffing people. I just prayed we wouldn't leave with a cold!
Glad to hear you all are on the mend. You have been on my mind a lot lately. Hav fun cleaning.
I am so glad you are feeling better Charity. I know how frustrated you must be to all be so unwell. Courtney had tonsilitis last week and it was the worst we've seen her- terrible. I was super frustrated at being stuck in the house and probably failed the patience test too.
Praying for a fabulous and healthy Christmas for you all! x
Gosh, every time I hear about the horrors you go through over there with the medical system, it frightens me about what we're about to endure over here. God have mercy on us!
I'm glad at least you got some antibiotics and are feeling better!
So glad that you are on the mend. Now comes the fun of cleaning up after the storm!!! We're still praying!
We are so glad to hear that you guys are getting better... Doctors can be such a "pain without a medicine"...
But the prayers will cotinue AWAYS!!We've adopted you guys!!
Loveyou in Christ!
