Not good

We're all so sick at my house. Jeremiah is on his third day off, coughing and fevers and sore throat and congestion. Kate is the same. She has medical insurance, so hopefully I can find a doctor that will take state insurance. I can't hear at all out of my left ear, and my right is so stopped up still I can barely hear out of it. I think both of my eardrums burst last night as fluid leaked from both. This morning there were streaks of blood in my coughing. I know, it's crazy that I'm not in the ER, but I just can't afford a big hospital bill. I'm going to try to hang on until Monday and see if I can find a doctor who will see me. As funny as it sounds, though, I keep thinking I'm going to be on the upswing of this thing anytime. I just keep telling myself my body will beat this. If it was just me who was this ill, I would be kind of worried. But I hear it's all over this podunk little town. I'll just be really glad when we all finally feel well for more than two or three days at a stretch.

Ugh.
