Antibiotics

I know it has been a while but nothing much has been going on. My sister and brother-in-law stayed for a week. We had a great time!

A few days later I fell ill with what Ben had. I waited a week to go to the Dr. thinking I could recover on my own. Well, that didn’t quite work out. By the time I surrendered a week to the day later I had a fairly mild case of Strep Throat.  Antibiotics, nasal inhaler and Allegra on board I was told I’d feel better in three to four days. 

That didn’t happen. Yesterday being the last day of antibiotics and feeling worst than I did 10 days before I trekked to the Dr.’s.  Now I have a really bad case of Strep and Bronchitis. The medication didn’t work. However the chest x-ray showed I don’t have pneumonia. Praise God!

You see, my problem is, I had MRSA about five years ago and was on IV antibiotics for six weeks in the hospital. Then when I had my breast reconstruction done two years ago I was cycling 10 days on 10 days off Vanco again for 4 months. (I had Ductal Carcinoma Insitu resulting in a double mastectomy in 1999 so the reconstruction was long over due)

Now my body is resistant to antibiotics. I do my best to stay away from people who are sick to keep me from having to go through this.  The Dr. is hoping that the drug he put me on yesterday will work. See now why my condition worsened and I’m now on 6 medications to kill this thing.

Needless to say I am exhausted. The good thing is God is in control. I am looking for a job so I can rest a lot and set my own schedule as far as interviews. David and Mom have been incredibly helpful. Praise God for family!

David is starting to emotionally wake up a bit and is slowly starting to heed the specialist’s advice. His sugars are so out of control that they want to put him on an insulin pump. I feel a bit sad over it. He has been spending more time with the children and I, which is much appreciated.

I had an amazing interview yesterday and am praying I get the job. Does God listen to stuff like that? My prayer, meditation and Bible time hasn’t suffered. My Father is in complete control. So all and all we are blessed and I can’t complain about a thing.

Blessings!
