A Last Minute Trip to Florida

After Christmas I started getting a cold. It turned into the cold that wouldn't go away. My doctor had put me on Amoxicillin, then a Z-Pak, then Augmentin. Nothing was making this "cold" go away. I was having a hard time breathing and coughing is an understatement; I was hacking my lungs up. I felt like death and sounded like it, too. I had a follow-up appointment the last week in January (Yes, it had been a month of sickness!) to see if my lungs had cleared and they hadn't. The doctor then told me that my nasty cold had turned into a bad case of pneumonia and because I was pregnant there wasn't much they could do but put me on bed rest with oxygen. I just wanted to fall apart. How am I supposed to be on bed rest with a toddler running around?? It's not possible!!! I decided that I would go to Florida and let my family take care of Landon and I would get my bed rest. It was amazing!! I felt bad because I literally slept 90% of my time there. It was very hot and humid, but that was good for me because the cold, dry air in Utah was making it harder for me to breath. I just want to say thank you to my parents for being so helpful at the last minute! I can report a clean bill of health now. I am still on inhalers to help me when the air gets really cold and dry, but other than that I'm all clear!
