I know that I owe some posts here but sickness has hit our house with a vengeance. I had to take Jemma to the doctor on Monday due to her cough and cold and the fact that it was way too similar to what landed her in the hospital in January. Thankfully, she just has a very nasty cold and will be okay. I can't lie though... every time she coughs, I cringe. It is hard to hear. I am just watching … [Read more...]

Over the past few weeks, I have had some dizziness and vertigo (like my world is spinning around me) and I walk into walls. Over the past few days, I have had some lymph swelling and now pain. I haven't been able to move my neck the past few days without … [Read more...]
