At Least It's Not Swine Flu

Well, the one thing my parents have been worried about happened, I'm sick. I caught a respiratory virus called Para Influenza. It's an upper respiratory infection and has caused me to have a lot of secretions and of course, a hard time breathing. The good thing is that I am now in an isolation room, so hopefully it will help me stay away from other outside germs. Bad news is that I had to be paralyzed again so that I can let the ventilator breathe for me without me trying to do it on my own. I was working so hard and I wasn't getting enough carbon dioxide out, so I need to take a rest. They should have me off of the paralysis meds by Monday or so and hopefully I can get back on track. Overall, I am still doing pretty good and continuing to pray for better health.
