Holy moly. Being sick during the holidays sucks. I am incredibly miserable today. My dad called to see if the food package they sent us came… It’s a tradition for my dad and Jeannie to send us a “Care Package” every Christmas. It usually consists of different cheeses, salami, summer sausage, jalopenos and various cookies/candies/goodies. Anyways, it hasn’t come yet, will probably get here after Christmas, and my dad said I sounded like I had a frog stuck in my throat. I told him it was a horse and Llama. We’ve been consuming lots of herbs, and Emergen-C packets and various other things trying to get well. Whatever this is, it just wants to hang around. At least Sascha is improving greatly and doing much better. His coughing is almost nonexistent, fever has been gone for awhile now, his congestion is better and it appears that all redness/swelling/mucous is gone from his eyes. I’m glad he’s better. It’s harder for me when he’s sick versus us, because he doesn’t quite grasp the concept of rest and such. So I have to fight him to rest and lay still to get better.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve dinner at my mom’s. Here’s to hoping we’re well enough to go, and don’t get anyone else sick in the process! How’s everyone else doing? Hopefully you all are feeling much better!
