Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving my mom and dad decided to down to Arizona to see my brother Dave and his Wife Lori and there daughter Ila. So, all of my brother’s and sister’s decided to go down too! We had done it before and we had a blast. The weather was warm the last time that we went and went swimming in NOVEMBER. The only family member that didn’t go down, was my younger sister Lisa and her Husband Kellen. Before we left Whitney was sick and Travis was sick and I started to feel sick, but we had already booked the hotel and I decided it wasn’t going to be bad and that we would be fine and we would get better. I was WRONG. I started to get more congested and my ears started to hurt and it hurt to swallow. We mostly stayed in our hotel and slept, it was 75 degrees outside and it was beautiful, but we were So sick, that we didn’t even go swimming and it was PERFECT weather to go swimming. Whitney started to feel better, but I was getting worse .We did a little shopping and had ate dinner at Dave’s, but we didn’t do much, because we were SO sick. We came back home, and on the way backI felt like CRAP it was bad, I wanted to die. We came home and I went to bed, I was so tired and I was extremely miserable and truly did want to die. We went to the Dr. and they said that Trav had a virus and that I had a virus and a Ear infection. The Dr. put me on Anti-biotics and I thought I was going to feel better soon, but after two days I wasn’t getting any better, I was actually getting worse, so Travis decided that I needed to go the Dr. again, but we would try a different doctor. We went up to the Spanish Fork Clinic and I saw Dr. Lytle, he looked in both of my ears and said that I had a double ear infection and that I probably had a virus too. I started to cry and he said “What is Wrong? I told him that I was miserable and that I was hurting, he prescribed a new anti-biotic and gave me some cough syrup and pain medication. I really liked him and he was really nice and very compassionate. I think we found a doctor who is not a idiot and knows what he is doing! Hopefully next Thanksgiving we will be well and not sick. Now that we are well, I want to go to Arizona again and get warm!
