(Caution: Might be TMI.) What a month this has been. In about a week, it will be a month since I started feeling icky… We’ve already passed the month mark of when I got the thrush originally. Starting from where we left off last time… I started taking the antibiotics last Thursday. Friday morning, we left REALLY early for Massachusetts – we left the house at 4:30am to catch our flight! This would not have been so hard had we…

Today I was finally able to get an appointment with the doctor! She said I have mastitis really bad. It’s weird – usually mastitis gives you bad fevers, but I haven’t really gotten them.

A few weeks ago, before we went to…

I had *so* much to do today. And nothing got done. I woke up with a horrible headache. I took some Excedrin and called my parents and then my grandmother. For some reason, talking on the phone really helps my headaches. I think it’s because my mind is distracted without using my eyes. After it got better, I noticed that Savannah had a rash on her mouth, chin, and cheeks. I took off her outfit and realized the rash was…
