Chris saw the doctor yesterday, I saw her today and Ryan saw his pediatrician today. All three of us have Bronchitis. Chris' is the most severe, although Ryan had the highest temperature. We were all prescribed the same antibiotic, Zithromax, also known as the "Z pack". You take two tablets the first day and then one a day for four days and supposedly you are better. Chris and I were also prescribed Albuterol inhalers, two puffs every four hours. Ryan wasn't prescribed an inhaler, probably because his twelve year old never-smoked-anything lungs aren't as traumatized as ours are. So that's the update. I wish I could post more, like oh, say, any of the half a dozen reviews and giveaways I agreed to do this week, but it's taking all my energy just to sit up and write this. Hopefully I'll have some interesting content for you next week. Hope all is well with you and your families. … [Read more...]
Max Payne DVD review
Well unfortunately, Chris and I are not only not getting better, we are both getting worse. He is home from work for the third day in a row, and now he's coughing up green gunk, and so weak he can hardly stand. My throat is irritated and it hurts at the top of my chest when I cough. I really, REALLY hope we can both beat this soon because it is exhausting to be sick and try to parent three kids too. I have no energy to do anything except lay on the couch and watch DVDs. One recent movie I watched was "Max Payne", the 2-Disc Special Edition, starring Mark Wahlberg. It's based on a popular video game about a former narcotics agent reassigned to the Cold Case department, seeking both answers and revenge for the murder of his wife and baby. While investigating, Max meets a woman with a wing tattoo on her arm; she soon turns up dead, carrying the wallet she stole from Max. Next, Max’s former partner Alex (Donal Logue) turns up a clue connecting the woman’s grisly … [Read more...]
Video of dolphins makes me feel a bit better
I'm trying so hard to deny being sick, because someone has to change Kaitlyn and you know, interact with her, and keep the boys from rotting their brains with too much Rock Band, and feel Chris' forehead and suggest he not go into work tomorrow even though it's been two days. You know what helps when I'm sick? YouTube. There is just so much fun stuff to watch there, like this really great video called "dolphin bubbles". It's just like it sounds, a video of dolphins, at SeaWorld Orlando’s Dolphin Cove, playing with a bubble ring! Really, it is so cute. It's only a minute long, I wish it was longer so I could stare at it; I think this video could have magic de-stressing properties. Watch: The related blog, at http://www.dolphinbubbles.com, was created specifically for posts by real families visiting SeaWorld Orlando. You can see photos of families feeding the dolphins, there are links to other SeaWorld websites, and you can even book a vacation to SeaWorld right … [Read more...]
