Our family is a little under the weather this week.  It became necessary to postpone Matt's birthday celebration to later this week, hoping everyone will improve.

Drew has been dealing with a cough, thought to be an upper respiratory infection at first, but it turned out to be strep too.  His fever spiked to above 104 degrees this morning, so he has now been put on antibiotics.

Amber and Emma had been dealing with cold symptoms themselves, but Amber's symptoms worsened last Saturday.  Now that she is on the mend, Emma began vomitting today.  So much is going around everwhere.  My fear is, these viruses and infections, will make the rounds within our family, for a few more weeks.

For me, the foot is mending.  I'm guilty of pushing it though, trying to walk without the boot, while inside the house.  I became so use to rolling my foot out for so many months, I can almost hobble around without the boot, much the same as I did before the surgery. 

The bottom of my foot is swollen, and much of it is numb in certain areas.  So when I have the boot on, it tends to increase the swelling, and then it presses on the incision area quite a bit, which smarts.  So I need to stay off of it as much as I can...and obey doctors orders, for another couple of weeks, or so. 

I guess we're keeping the physicians and pharmaceutical companies in business!
