Well sickness is no fun...no fun at all!!!

Don't worry, I am still not preg! Over Easter weekend I was around family that has been sick, and while I thought I had escaped the sickness Tuesday morning my throat started to get sore, then I got a fever, then diarrhea, then higher fevers. So I went to the doctor. They did one of those rapid strep tests that came back neg, but he wanted to get another one just in case so I am waiting to hear back from that one. But the doctor told me it was probably viral and to go take some ibuprofen and some cough medicine(I haven't had a cold or a cough, or the sniffles for a while, but whatev) So I came home with a 102.7 fever and it just got worse over the night. I woke up at 3:30 and my fever was clear up to 103.something. I don't know about you, but this doesn't sound viral to me. So needless to say I had a miserable night, the next day I couldn't get my fever below 100. so I called the doctors office and they said just continue taking ibuprofen unless my fever gets up to 103 or 104 and I can't get down. So I said okay, that night the vomiting started. I have been pure miserable. The good news though, I woke up this morning with no fever! Sore throat, nausea, diarrhea yes but no fever! Yahoo! I can somewhat function today! Hopefully the doctors will call me back, tell me that I have strep so that I can start some antibiotics so that I can feel COMPLETELY better.

That sounds like some of the illnesses that my missionaries get. Usually with the vomiting, diarrhea. fevers, it is one of two things: food borne or else a bacterial infection. If diarrhea lasts more than two days, I am instructed to give them an antibiotic. Also for diarrhea, I give them colodium to help stop that. If it's not bacterial, then it's usually over in 24-48 hours. So, I hope you showed something. It sounds like it lasted several days.

Welcome to our life!!!

David and I met at Weber State Univeristy in a chemistry class. David didn't ask me out til the end of the semester, he says that it is because I was still in high school, but I think it is because he was scared. Our first date was April 28 2007, he proposed in November 2007 and we were married January 10, 2008. Our first year of marriage was hard, but as time went on life has only got better.We have been so blessed. We love life now and feel that we have grown closer than we ever could have with all of the struggles and trials that we have gone through. October 24, 2010 we welcomed Brantley Chlarson Smedley into our family. He came 8 weeks early via emergancy c-section. But he is growing like a weed and makes us laugh on a daily basis. Almost two years later, on July 26th, 2012 we welcomed Braylee Sage into our family. She was on time but like her brother wanted to come into this world with a bang. Braylee was also delivered via c-section but she is a beautiful happy baby and we are so glad she is ours. We love our little family and are excited for what the future will bring.
