General Update

Sorry no pictures this time....we're still at the beach, and unable to upload them and/or link them to the blog. For those of you who may be worried about me, I am starting to feel better. My health problems began last Wedesday, when my Mommy suspected I may have a UTI. She and P. Daddy took me to the ER late that night, which was a bad experience, to say the very least. The hospital was filthy, and the doctor was basicaly an idiot. My condition gradually worsened, and so by Friday, my parents took me to a clinic on the island. I was having a high fever and a really bad cough. The nurse practitioner who saw me, said I was just getting a cold. The following day, my fever spiked again and Mommy and P. Daddy decided it was time to take me to yet another (thankfully CLEAN) ER on Saturday afternoon. Thank God they did. The physician there ran a myriad of tests and (more accurately) determined I was suffering from Pnemonia, the Flu (both strains A&B), and a touch of UTI. I was also dehydrated, given IV fluids, and admitted into the hospital for the night. There, they pumped me full of antibiotics, more fluids, and gave me many breathing treatments. I was released the following day, and had my follow-up appointment this morning. I had to get another shot (antibiotic), and am finally starting to feel better. I am slowing regaining my appetite. Mommy says she is thankful we are still nursing, because that has been my only source of nurishment for the last few days (because I wouldn't drink much else, and I would not eat). Anyhow, I just wanted to update everyone. We're doing a lot of fun things on the island, and I'll post some pictures and stories when I get back (next week). For those of you who pray, please be thinking about me!
