grease fire = asthma attack= trip to ER

i don't feel like writing a journal today, so i'll make it brief, early yesterday morning, bill was heating up some bacon grease to give to the dogs, forgot about it, and caused the pan on the stove to go up in "big" flames... tons of smoke in the house, I went to work, started coughing, but 2 pm and during a nap after work, in my sleep it felt like heavy weight on my chest with tons and tons of pain..... we were supposed to go out with the kids that evening, so i figured i should just get up and move and i would feel better...... the more i moved, the more i struggled to breath....... so to the ER i went! Xray was okay, i have patches of fluid/congestion but i was so tight, that i needed a breathing treatment stat....... for the first time in days, i felt some relief, i didn't realize that i wasn't getting the air i needed. i have accute Bronchitis, lots of congestion and tons of wheezing. I am on Heavy Heavy doses of steroids, taking breathing treatments every 4 -6 hours whether i feel i need it or not. and I am on major antibiotics because i am running a fever therefore i have a secondary bacterial infection some where......... so
there you have it

P.S Sammy is running a high fever too....... but out of all of my kids, he's the best sick boy........ never complaining or whining, he just chills and goes with it.....oh i am supposed to say via Sammy, .......that he is the Cutest!!! well the boys want on line to play Xbox 360 so i am going to get going for now........

talk to you soon

Glad to read that you and your family are all safe. You can replace all the other stuff but we can never replace you and your loved ones. Sends chills down my arms just thinking about it. Gods speed and blessings to each of you, praising His goodness and mercy He saw fit to shed upon you and your family.

I still think I should come out there and you should be quarantined at my place while you're on the steroids.......just sayin'!
