Sick Days

I have been under the weather for a few days now. I woke up Wednesday feeling great and by the time I came home from work I had a sore throat and a fever. It's crazy how fast it can hit you. I was just telling someone the other day that I was happy because I hadn't taken a sick day this year...spoke to soon!

I came home and took Tylenol and sore throat medicine and hoped it would get better, but it just got worse. So, I went to the doctor on Friday and found out what I had expected... that I had strep throat. I got an antibiotic and am feeling much better today. I should be able to go back to work on Monday.

I am so thankful for medicine and especially antibiotics! My throat hurt so bad I didn't even want to swallow and after taking just 3 pills I already feel so much better. It made me think about all the people in Haiti that are sick or hurt and can't get simple medications that can save their lives or at least take the pain away. It breaks my heart for them. I know strep throat is minor compared to what they are going through, but pain is pain and we are so blessed to live in the U.S. and be able to go to a doctor and get medicine when we need it.

Joyce Meyer's ministry is partnering with Love A Child to help Haiti. They have already donated an x-ray machine and 904 pounds of medical supplies. Here is the link to the page on her website if you want to find out more or donate. I have partnered with Joyce Meyer's Ministries for a few years now and one thing I know about her ministry is that they love to help hurting people. When I first heard of the earthquake, I knew Joyce's ministry would be there as quick as they could. I know I can't help every single person, but if I can help just one by donating it is worth it. Pray for Haiti!

I have to go now, another Lifetime Movie is coming on....I think I have seen every one by now :)

Stay Well and take your vitamin C
