Tanner’s ER visit seems to have been the beginning of a virus epidemic at the Page house. So far, John is the only one who has not gotten sick. Tanner’s oncologist thinks we all have adenovirus – sore throat, congestion, irritated eyes, and fever. Tanner actually is much better; she just has a cough at this point. I spent all yesterday in bed with a fever and body aches. Today, I am better, but not yet well. Jake continues to cough and just feel yucky. Everyone’s eyes have been bloodshot and irritated at some point.
We’re taking Tanner in for a chest x-ray tomorrow to be sure she’s not developing pneumonia again. If she’s okay and Jake and I feel better, we still may make it to Atlanta for Christmas Eve. I’m a little behind on my Santa duties, but I think we could do it.
Poor John is taking care of three sick people while trying to work from home as well. Once again, he is the lynchpin that holds us together.
So frustrating to have jumped through so many hoops to get to this point only to have a virus take us all down like this. We just can’t catch a break.
Keep us in your prayers. We’re hoping everyone is better tomorrow.
Love,
Beth
Praying for a Christmas healing miracle.
Stupid, stupid germs. I hope that everyone gets some good, healing rest tonight. Thank goodness Tanner is kicking it pretty quickly.
I am sorry you all are sick! Booo! Try taking some probiatics. It is good baterica that fights off the bad. It is over the counter. They even make it for kids….so Jake can take some. Get well soon!
