Hi angel friends,happy sunday wishes from our hearts and home to yours :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, having a good day ,and a peaceful weekend :) i have some new updates to share with everyone. Some healing progress forward, and our full determination to get back to our full health :) Thank you angel friends, so very much, for your continued prayers, and warm well wishes for us all :) we're very thankful, and appreciative :) You all have been helping us keep in good spirits :) All of the love, and care, is very comforting, and uplifting :) We have lots to be hopeful for, and so much more to look forward too :)

1st update, i want to share, is that during the evening yesterday, my mom was feeling unwell, and in rough shape, like i was feeling on friday. she took some alieve, and went to sleep earlier. she took a covid test, it has 1 dark line and another line that is showing, which means positive on the test. this morning, i was able to go upstairs early, to do all i could to help, my sister Lisa was here, and we fed our pets, and made sure they had water. my mom rested more, it was really good for her to get the extra rest. my niece Taylynn, is also feeling under the weather. i'm so glad i was able to be up early like i was, to do anything i could do to help, as we all love to chip in and being there for eachother.

Holly was up early this morning too. :) we had some more toast with grapes, gatorade, orange juice, and took tylenol :) i was able to drink the orange juice without my throat burning like it was yesterday. my mom was up around 9am, i talked with her for a bit in the living room, i was wearing my mask. She said, the acheyness had eased, but the weak feeling is still there. She ate a bagel, and Lisa picked up some munchkins treats at dunkins, she had a couple, she's eating, she barely had anything to eat yesterday due to feeling naseaous. my mom's been resting a lot today. around 9:20am, i saw out our front door, the flowers plants looked like they needed water, i haven't been able to water them since thursday. i went outside for 7 minutes, i held the hose and was able to water the plants at a good pace, just enough to give the plants some water replenishing :) near our backyard, i was holding the hose and leaning against our gate to our backyard, and just sprayed the plants, holding onto the gate gave me some nice support, which was helpful in getting to water the plants :) i saw a golden finch in one of our apple trees, it was a nice site to see, and i also heard airplanes in the sky above, which was a welcome sound ,i'm use too hearing usually each day while watering the plants. i've missed the garden,it's still flourishing, and Holly and i can't wait to fully be out there again :)

Holly and i are dealing with some bad coughs/congestion, a burning sensation in our throats, my mom said she feels that same burning feeling too. She's been having some gatorade, hot tea, Holly and i having our gatorade, we all have cough drops, chloraseptic sore throat spray, and we have cough syrup too. the coughing seems to get worse while laying down. i put vick's on my throat, neck, and chest/forehead at night time. sleeping on my right side is helping, and we've been able to get good sleep :) our heads hurt when we cough ,the cough causes this pain in our foreheads. We're eating well today, i heated up chicken cutlet patties, mashed potatoes with cheese, bean burrito, Holly has apple sauce, we had some mini ice cream cups with our lunch, Holly also has yogurts : )We have ginger ale, and Alyssa mentioned she'll pick up anything else we need :) She got us a 24 pack of water bottles :) i had some saltine crackers earlier too :) it feels good to feel hungry, and being able to eat. :) The grapes have been very nice to have :) we want to keep our strengh up :) Holly is taking a strong anti-cough medicine, which is helping her :) This variant of covid we have, thankfully, very thankfully isn't as severe and devastating as the delta. with delta, we could barely get out of bed, and move. it was very horrible, this variant is bad, but we're thankful the symptoms aren't as severe. We've been keeping track of our oxygen level, with our oximeter :) getting good readings around 97% :)Holly's been using her inhalers, for her asthma, she's doing well. She's been keeping an eye on me, to make sure i don't over-do things, when i came in this morning from watering the plants, she instantly made me a gatorade :) awww! :) it's very nice of her :)

Our spirits are good :) my dad's doing ok, he's helping my mom :)Tylenol is helping ease the fever. i personally felt a slight worser than yesterday morning, but as soon as i took the tylenol this morning, after breakfast, i began to feel better. We're monitoring our symptoms, and keeping mostly here in our downstairs apartment. We're continuing with the very good care, resting, taking things an hour and a day at a time :) even with feeling better than in recent days, we're still full effect with the good care, to keep ahead of the symptoms, and getting our health back :) my mom looks much better today than last evening, we're so glad, and thankful :) We're looking forward to continued healing progress forward, and pacing ourselves. Holly and i both have been sitting up, and we put some history channel shows on, and TWD dvds :) i've been spending some time here on DS too :) the virus is running it's course, but we're all very hopeful to be back to our full health :) We're gonna be alright, and looking forward to sharing in lots more times with everyone, as we get our health and balance back :) We're all looking after eachother :) focused on our health, and each day forward :)

Thank you again our dear angel friends, for always being here for us <3 it means the world to us :) We're with you all, all the way :) i look forward to some more writing this upcoming week, i notice this my longest journal in a few days, i'm thankful to be sitting up, and writing :) Life is very precious, health is #1, we're so thankful for any and all healing we experience,and having days ahead to look forward too :) after all we went through last year, and now, we're very thankful, and fortunate ,for so much :)
