The regular old viral flu bug cascaded its way through our family last weekend. I ran a fever all day Monday (a holiday for me) and Tuesday started a week's of consecutive training for my job that is infrequently offered.
Tryin' to be a hero, and windin' up a zero, I went to work in the sub-zero weather in a vehicle that doesn't provide heat until about 20 minutes into the drive. I completed the training and tried to rest in the evenings, but two of our kids have been having fits due to diarrhea and rash.
Yesterday around 3:00 I started to feel colder and colder. I hung on, and put my coat on 15 minutes before I walked out of the building.
Most of us are still coughing as part of the standard-issue recovery of the flu, but I ran a 104 fever for about 8 hours yesterday. My wife finally managed to get ahold of our doctor, described the situation and symptoms, and the doctor called in antibiotics for me. My wife promptly went and fetched this medicine for me (bless her heart) and it is helping some. However, the last time I had pneumonia I was flat on my back for two solid weeks, and weak for months afterwards.
I covet your prayers.

King James Bible
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee

Praying for you....I know what you are going thru as I had pneumonia that almost took my life last year.....God touched me and I am still here!
Just a question, where in the world did you find a doctor that would prescribe medication without seeing you....I didn't think they made those anymore....lol
