Counting Coughs

How many times can you cough before your body says it's time to stop coughing? We are still counting as John has been coughing up his lungs for 11 days now. It started out as a cold last week, then turned into pneumonia. Yuck. The poor guy can't get any sleep at night because he spends the entire time coughing. The antibiotics the doctor put him on seem to be helping the fever, but as for the coughs, still no improvement.

In the meantime while taking care of sick hubby, I made massive amounts of frozen strawberry jam. A year's supply. At least I have a year's supply of something. It will taste good with all the wheat we have lying around if ever we need it.

Get well soon, John. Coming from a family which spent the first three months of the year coughing, we feel your pain. Good luck...this too shall pass!

Oh John, how I hate coughing. It is so annoying. Hope that it is almost over. Good job on the jam!

Get well soon! Have you tried Delsym cough suppressant? It seemed to alleviate some symptoms when Julia had pneumonia. Hang in there!

Hope all is improving at your house and John is coming home soon. You take good care of yourself Dana!

Get well soon, John.

On second thought, just think of all that work piling up and maybe you'll want to stay sick a bit longer.
