Alyssa dropped off some chicken noodle soups for my mom and dad, and also brought us some ginger sale, water with electrolites :) it's very nice of her :) We're all checking in on eachother, and encouraging eachother :) earlier today, my mom said, "We're on the uphill now" :) awww! :) we got lots of hope, to fully recover, and to get our full health back :) my mom heard some updates from Lisa :) She's slightly better thankfully. her bf Charlie though,had a hard time breathing last night, and had to go to the hospital by ambulance. he got chest x-rays, and breathing treatment, and was able to return home,he's doing ok, we're very thankful, and relieved. my dad's registered to get a rapid covid test, at one of the clinics down the road. he's awaiting their call, to go get the test. my mom was in touch with Taylynn's school, Taylynn is gonna be recieving a covid test. Holly and i are hanging in there, lots of rest. Holly had oatmeal, and i boiled 2 eggs earlier :) we also had some crackers with peanut butter :) we're keeping hydrated, water, gatorade, also some teas. we all went to bed earlier last night, getting almost 8 hours of sleep. it was a bit tougher getting out of bed this morning, lots of achey muscles, sore back, sides, and arms. it's been up and down. we're remaining positive though :) i did go outside for some fresh air this early morning, it was chilly out, like fall season weather :) i saw beautiful sunrise sky, from out back, and saw some birds flying over :) it was very nice getting in some fresh air, and seeing some birds, and the sunrise :)

We're keeping in good spirits, and keeping the positive energy flowing :) You all are helping us a lot :) We're gonna continue with the very good care :) i wanted to mention, on behalf of my family and i, some friends mentioned about the vaccines that are available. i haven't mentioned before, but wanted to share, our thoughts, and feelings. my family, Holly,and i are all, very pro-vaccines :) we just have had some worries about the covid vaccines, due to some of the news that has come out, about bad side effects. my brother Charlie recieved the Johnson and Johnson vaccine earlier this year, and has had some numbness issues, and one of our ds friends (sunflower10), her dad also experienced numbness from the pfizer vaccine. we also worried about the vaccines not being 100%, and some of the recent news, about the vaccines wearing off, and even some people who have gotten the vaccine, have tested positive for covid. we were hopeful, they would develope a vaccine,t hat's 100%,like polio vaccine, and how it would be a 1 time vaccination, and would be safe, healthy, and immune from it, for life. as a family, we are definitely pro vaccines, for certain, and as a family, we'll definitely make a decision sometime in the near future, once we're through this, as to whether we decide to get the vaccine. Your support, encouragement, it means the world to us :)
Today, we've been taking it easy, it's been a day of hard to get around, due to soreness. we're determined, and dedicated to get well :) it's been tough, the virus symptoms coming and going. earlier Holly and i were doing scent tests, with apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion, and cinnamon, we all have lost our sense of taste and smell. it's really strange. i put vicks vapo rub on my chest, forehead, under my nose each night, and can't smell the vicks. it's very weird. we've had lots of emotions, worrysome, but we know we gotta keep strong, and positive for eachother :) we're hoping each day forward, brings healing : )You all are wonderful, dear angel friends, we appreciate you all very much, and care deeply about you all, our dear angel friends, and your family's :) wishing everyone the best of good health :) we're gonna continue to take things, a day at a time, and will make it through this :) we will most likely be laying down early tonight, to get the good extra sleep :) tylenol is helping us, along with keeping hydrated :) i've had some blurred vision a bit, at times, that comes and goes, it may be due to fever/covid. We're definitely determined to get better :) Thank you all, for sticking with us, and for being here for us <3 my mom says hello :) i've been sharing all of your wonderfully comforting, and uplifting well wishes, prayers, and support :) i'm gonna have some more ginger sale this evening :) earlier,i saw a butterfly outside our front door :)it was getting nectar, from our zinnia flowers :) Holly and i miss the garden, and hope to build our strength and energy up again, to be able to get out there to tend our plants :) i slept, rested a bit on our couch this afternoon :) i'll continue to keep everyone updated :)we wish everyone, a peaceful evening,and night :)
-never lose hope :)

Hi Chris Glad all of you are hanging in there, Hope things well get better for all of you as the days go by, Very nice of Judy & Denny to send you some teas and movies to help with your recovery Glad that your dad and Taylynn will get tested soon, My thinking and my families thinking as far as the vaccines was Whatever side effects you may get from the vaccine is better then getting the virus.Most people only have side effects for a few days then they go away. The vaccines cause your body to make antibodies for the virus. Its important to have protection from it Could be a long time before There is a 100 percent lifelong protection type vaccine The virus is a new one never seen before However one day at a time You all must get through the virus before any vaccine can happen for all of you, Enjoy your teas and movies take care and rest hugs to all there-Stephanie
Hi Chris Holly and Tiger. So glad everyone seems to be improving little by little. I got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and had no side effects at all except a sore arm and some tiredness for a couple of days. I am so afraid of Covid because of my heart problems so when my doctor approved me for the vaccine I got it right away. But each of us have to make our own decisions.
Great you got to get outside for a little bit today. Fresh air is also good for you.
Take care and sleep well tonight. We leave for vacation tomorrow morning. So excited to finally be going away for a week.
Love you
John and Debbie
Great care package from Judy. I have not heard of those teas. Glad you were able to get outside for some fresh air. Please encourage the rest of your family to do the same thing. It is amazing. Continued prayers. Hugs! Brooke & Henri
Echinacea is an amazing plant, truly medicinal. I hope it helps soothe some of your symptoms.
I had the Pfizer vaccine, and had very few side effects, felt a bit off after the second one, but nothing serious. All my friends and family who've had Pfizer or AstraZeneca have all been ok. I think they're effective in reducing the likelihood of fatal disease, and reducing the severity of the virus overall. I think it will be a long time before there is a 100% vaccine. It's like the flu vaccine - we have to have a different one every year because the virus mutates and we get new strains - Covid is like that too.
Take care, step by step getting better. Rest up, and hopefully you get outside for some fresh air and plant therapy :D !
I have some baby capsicums (peppers) growing, some parsley, basil, rosemary and carrots! All in my patio containers! I'm so happy :)
Sending love xxx
NOW you have no excuse for staying Ill., thanks to DR. Judy's herbal teas and of course the scary movies, they will SCARE the virus away haha. Enjoy! I love the flowers as always. :D
That was so nice of Judy and Denny to send you all a get well package :-) I have never heard of those teas but I'm sure they will help, ;-) And I know how much you will enjoy the movies too while resting, :-)
