Remission from the Ick

So last week after I posted that it seemed we where doing better...I went from been okay to feeling like I was dieing. I don't know what happened but I just got really bad. I was coughing so hard it hurt to breath. I went to the doctor and got two shots to the butt and got prescribed antibiotics. The doctor told me if I didn't feel any better in 48 hours that I need to come back in to begin breathing treatments.

So the next day I went to work thinking oh I am going to feel better today. NOT! I was coughing worse and I felt miserable. Worse in fact. I thought for sure that the doctor was pulling my leg and shot me up with fake medicine. Then to top it off my ass hurt so much from the shots that I could hardly sit comfortably. I went home and crawled into bed. Before I left I told my boss that if I didn't feel dramatically better that I was working from bed/home. He completely agreed, in fact he insisted that I stay home and work from there. Got to love this man! So the next morning I didn't feel much better. I was considering setting an appointment to go to the doctor that afternoon. However, just around lunch things started to turn around. I could breath again with out coughing up a lung. It seems it really did take 48 hours to feel better. I spent the majority of the weekend relaxing. I am about 98% at the moment. I am not working out or doing anything until I feel better. I think I keep jumping the gun thinking I was better when I wasn't. I know I need to slow it down a little and relax. I can handle that.

Sophia is a complete mess lately. In a cute way. She recovered all the way, at least I think. We are still doing nightly breathing treatments per the Dr's orders. She is teething and she has almost a whole tooth now at the bottom. She has episodes, say 24 hours, where she is fussy and just wants to be held the whole time. But she quickly bounces back the next day. However, the drooling she has causes her to breakout with this weird rash. We use a prescribed ointment for a few days and it clears up.It seems to repeat this every time she has a bad teething day. She loves to giggle all the time. Things that make her giggle, Apollo, my toes, being upside down, hair brushing against her face, a few select tickle spots and me making funny faces. She giggles all the time. She also started this new thing with air raspberries. She will do it till she is red in the face. I need to catch that on film. I love to watch her do it and the more I giggle the more she does. Love my sweet Sophia so much!

Pictures of the week:

Trying a blackberry (from our garden)
Trying to eat the diaper cream..she always grabs for stuff she can't have. Sometimes I give in.
Me giving the nightly breathing treatment. I sing to her and cuddle her. She is handling them well.
Chewing on her Sophie. Look at her new latch/leash system to make sure it stays with her. (from Nana)
Trying to figure out how she will be able to toss Sophie across the room.
