Update!

I am FINALLY feeling better. My only complaint is I still have a cough and its very annoying, and my voice is still a little hoarse. Other than that, it seems like all is well.

Yesterday I took Grace to get a haircut. My plan was to get it significantly shorter, but to keep it slightly past her shoulders. Ray and I had discussed the option of Grace donating her hair, but at Locks of Love, you need a minimun of 10 inches to donate, and that would have made Grace's hair VERY short. However, when I started talking with the haircutter, she suggested we go a little bit shorter and Grace could donate her hair. I told her I thought it needed to be 10 inches, and she advised me that Pantene had a program (Pantene Beautiful Lengths) and they only needed 8 inches. It was going to be a little bit shorter than we had planned, but Grace really wanted to donate her hair, and I really wanted her to do it as well, so we went ahead and got a shorter than expected haircut. The concensus from everyone i

s that it is GREAT!

I'll post some better pictures later when I upload them to my computer. For now, you can see this one:

Almost Better

I am feeling a lot better than I did. My headaches are gone, aches are gone, fever is gone, everything is just about gone except feeling a little tired and unmotivated, and a cough that just won't quit. Hopefully, I will feel 100% soon, but I am very glad I am no longer feeling as horrible as I did for so long. I can't believe I ran a fever for just about a week straight!! Yuck. On top of that, I was in bed for 9 or 10 days. I hope to never have to feel that bad again (or to have any loved ones feel like that either!)!!

Fortunately, no one in my house had picked up my nasty flu turned pneumonia junk. However, poor Ray came down with a doozie of a cold that had his head all congested and making him feel like crud. He did such a good job taking care of me, I feel so bad he feels bad now. I'm just glad he didn't get the flu! I think he is feeling better today than he has, so thats a good sign.
