I've been sick for 2 weeks now and the pain and fatigue has been almost too much to bear. I'm on my second round of antibiotics and it is finally kicking in. Being sick and taking care of Richard has been a challenge and last night he got sick with congestive heart failure and the same symptoms I started with. I gave him extra lasix and cleared his lungs and started him on antibiotics. He was too weak to get into the shower today and he had to have a bed bath. Jessica also has this gunk and can't seem to get rid of it either. We both rested today. She did laundry and rested and I took care of Richard and rested. I hope we sleep all night tonight.
