Diagnosis #2

It isn't spell checking for some reason...oh, well. The person helping me write this hasn't had the best of sleep.

There are times that I seem perfectly fine and other times when I don't feel good with a fever. The fever hasn't been as high as last weekend of 103.7, but still a fever of 99's to 100's. It has been a rollercoaster! One minute we think I can go back to school and the next I can't.

Tonight, my parents took me to the doctor's office to be sure that there isn't anything else we can do to help me get over this. As you recall the first diagnosis on Friday was pneumonia, well today we got an additional diagnosis. Yes, an additional. They ran tests on me like a swab up the nose and blood work from my finger. I didn't care for either one.

The additional diagnosis: THE FLU and the worst kind.

Nothing like having the flu and pneumonia together. They don't know if that is what originally caused it all and the doctor missed it by only focusing on the pneumonia part or if I caught it while I was there at the doctors office. There isn't anything they can do for me drug wise. I just have to wait it out, which could be 1 more week. If the doctor would have caught it earlier (the first time we went in), they could have given me something to make the flu only last 2 days. It is too late to do that for me now, but if my parents or Granddaddy start to get ill will high fever they can if they act fast.

Dad did have fever last night, but after he got a lot of sleep he was fever free. We will all have to keep an eye out, what I have is very contagious. I hope non of my love ones get this, It hasn't been fun.
