my Headache

So, I got this headache last Tuesday, that I thought was merely a rattle of my head from coughing. Then Wednesday, it got worse. By Thursday, I went to the ER because I was thinking the worst. I went to a hospital near me, which I absolutely LOVE, simply because you are in and out within a couple hours ALL THE TIME! After doing blood tests, a chest x-ray (For my cough), and a head CT, they found nothing out of the ordinary and they diagnosed a severe headache (They couldn't say it was a migraine, because you have to have more than 1 migraine to call it a migraine). They sent me home with some Vicodin. Well, it continued to hurt over the weekend. I couldn't get up longer than 15 minutes without my head throbbing. Rob, by the way, was AWESOME! He takes such good care of me and the kiddos! I LOVE HIM more every day!
On Monday, I finally got into the doctor, and he said I strained a muscle in my neck from coughing, and it is reflecting into my head and creating a tension headache. I have been prescribed a "drug cocktail" of sorts and it seems to be working better now. I have actually been able to sit up. This morning, I actually was able to go have coffee with the neighbor girls for our annual Christmas Eve morning get-together. But the doctor said it could take 3 days to 3 weeks until I am 100%.
It still hurts, but I think I am on the mend, finally! Thanks everyone for your prayers and support this past week! I really appreciate it!

Nick's Birthday

Yesterday was my middle son's birthday! Happy 6th Birthday Nicky! We Love You! Because I have had a debilitating headache for a week now, I wasn't up to celebrating in my normal fashion, so it was a laid back birthday for him. I woke up and made him breakfast in bed, which he preferred not to eat because it would get crumbs in his bed...God bless him! So he ate at the coffee table in the family room, while watching TV. He got to play video games all morning until my wonderful sister came and picked up the boys and took them to her house for a few hours. While there, they jumped on the tramp, played video games and made a birthday cake for Nicky. Rob and I ended up going over there around 6 and Cindy made tacos made Nick's day extra special. My family is great. Thanks for all your help this past week. I have not been very much help with the headache that I have had, so it is wonderful that you can all pull things together and make my kids feel special!

Nicky was so excited to be 6. He kept saying to me, "Mom, it's great that I was 5, but now I am 6!" He just likes that number, for some reason.
