Sick List

It was another rough night last night and I woke this morning knowing that I wasn't getting any better, but worse.  As I laid in bed, I started trying to wrap my mind around how I was going to muster the energy to get through the day, when out of nowhere Mark said, "Steph, you don't look so good.  I think I should stay home and help you today."  I kid you not, I nearly cried.  In fact, I did a little bit.  It was the best Valentine's gift he could have gotten me.  The sexiest words I could have ever heard.  

Mark's a pretty great stay-at-home dad.  He did an amazing job taking care of the girls, while I rested.  I am ever so thankful for his help.  Did I mention he also spent the morning trying to find a doctor who would see me?  Who knew it would be so hard!  He finally had to call a friend with connections, who got me an appointment this afternoon.  It turns out I have pneumonia.  I'm so glad to know what's wrong and so, so, so glad to have medicine to help.  I have a follow-up appointment on Friday, so hopefully, I'll be doing a lot better by then.  

So, anyway, that's what's going on over here.  

They made me wear this in the waiting room, just in case I had the flu.  If you don't want anyone to sit near you, wear one of these.
