Hi Guys,
well the sick saga still continues. Alan is feeling much better but is still lethargic. Isaac is heaps better and seems to have his energy back but his horrible cough remains. In regards to the flu bug I feel much better but still lethargic....then yesterday morning I woke at 0530am with the worst ear ache (left ear) and stiff neck. I could not fall back asleep because of the pain. Went to infusion. Infusion went really well with the new product again and so far I have only had tremors. However, my specialist looked in my ear and he said it was all swollen and red and a nasty infection and all my lymph nodes are up from the ear to under my arm. My face is swollen on that side today and I am really sore. They gave me a big dose of IV fluclox while having infusion and I have an oral antibiotic to continue at home but I have to call if it shows no sign of improving after 48 hours. My neuts have been reasonable at 1000 but my body has taken such a knocking from all the continuous bugs that it is having trouble getting on top of things so they don't want me to be left to sort it out on my own. I have steroid drops for my ear too. I feel miserable.
I was so worried about being recovered for my surgery and prayed Thursday night that God would help it all work out and then Friday morning my gynae rang and said we had to put the surgery off for 3 weeks...all the anaethetists are not going to be there! What a relief. This gives me an extra 3 weeks to recover...and Isaac is too unwell with coughing stuff up to have his surgery this coming Friday. The only other date they offered me that was close was 2 days after my surgery and I couldn't be with him. I think it is not right that I am not with him. So now my surgery is put off an extra 3 weeks, Isaac's can be made for the 21st Sept and I can be with him. He can have extra time to recover from his fluey bug. So this is actually good and working out for us. Praise the Lord.
I am going to go now. Surely this sickness should all be over soon. I am so scared Isaac will get extra sick by sending him back to kindy. He has not had the flu shot this year. Doctors don't often reccomend it for the young ones here....say it is more important for adults and immunosuppressed and elderly. However the flu in Australia has been killing people....it always kills some people. However, it is particularly nasty. I had my flu shot ages ago. However, spoke to Isaac's doctor and he was concerned at how sick Isaac has been and so this week we are getting his flu shot. The flu season is expected to go into October and may be November...summer time this year and so it is not too late and that will protect him more at kindy.....and me. This new regime for kids has been recommended from now on with every year. I actually usually get Isaac immunised but I was slack with it this year. All the preschoolers are getting hit with it. No wonder Isaac can't seem to escape it. I feel bad. I should have done it when I had it. The doctor says it is still worth it.
Ok, gonna go...very sore. Please keep praying for us. We are supposed to be holidaying in the snow in a couple of weeks! This is all so crazy!
Love Charisse

I love you.

My dear friend, I am praying for you always, and double time now with this awful bug you all have been fighting to get rid of. Don't worry about me, I know you are always there, just a keyboard away, and that if you were well you would be checking in and signing every update. So, relax, take care of yourself and know you are lifted in my prayers always.
Your friend always,

Dear Charisse,
I'm sorry you are all having such a terrible time right now. I'm praying that you can all return to good health very very soon. And that until that time you have the support of your close-by friends and family to help you through this. I'll be thinking of you!
Continuing to pray for you everyday!

To my old buddies Ch & Al, Keep standing, but rest in Hs arms and He will carry you ALL....

But it will produce beauty, holiness and wholeness. I love you ALL, you are not alone, there are many who are holding your arms whilst you battle (like Moses) Always your friend and sister Cathy T
Tip to prevent ear infection with adult:
Preventative methods typically range from flushing the ear to chewing gum. Yes, chewing gum is recommended as it is known to help relieve pressure in the ear as well as creating good saliva flow. Chewing gum usually works a treat during plane flights when ears are affected during the landing procedure in particular.
