Back so soon? December 29, 2008

Yes, I know it’s rare I’d update two days in a row but it’s day 2 in bed and I honestly have pretty much nothing to do. I’ve watched a couple movies…checked the facebook…sent some emails…and am now back here…writing another post. ha  

———————————————————————

*EDIT

I went to the doctor today (Monday) again, this time it was my doctor (we had to go to an emergency care place the other day cause it was saturday) and found out some good news. She said that it shouldn’t take me a whole month, the most should be a couple weeks to recover. I’ll still be weak, but I should be able to play basketball before the season is over…isn’t that exciting?!

———————————————————–

I am feeling a bit better today…I was able to get up and venture into the kitchen and family room to breath some fresh air, which was lovely. I slept until around 1pm and haven’t really been able to sleep much since. But hopefully I’ll be able to sleep tonight. 

 

Tomorrow Steph, Chris, the kids, and David come up because my grandparents are here and we’re going to have Christmas with them so they’re all coming up for a couple days. I’m excited to see them again and I’m glad because tomorrow I shouldn’t be contagious anymore! (they said it’d be about 48 hours after i start my meds, and tomorrow will be 48 hours…hooray) 

 

Well, there’s not really much else to report. I guess I will leave you with a couple of random pictures from different things from December. 

 

Here’s Mallory and me at our AGCC Christmas Gala

 

 

And a December picture of the Gilland (and Jessee) girls

 

Happy New Year friends!

Update…LONG update. December 27, 2008

Hey friends. Sorry I’m such a slacker on this blog. After my update in Nov. it’s like life was going a hundred miles an hour and didn’t stop until…well…now I guess! Between finals and the entire holiday season there was a lot to do. Finals went well…God was good to me and I was able to pull it out with good grades! That was a very big relief. 

 

There was so much that happened in the past few weeks that I couldn’t possibly tell you about all of it but I’ll just touch on it. We went down to Orlando for Metro’s Bash after break started. that was so much fun! We stayed with the Jones and got to spend lots of time with them which is always amazing. Then things were busy here with several bball games before the winter break and other stuff. then last Monday Ang and I headed to Orlando again for an appointment I had AND because Jage was in town and we wanted to see her. It was so very much fun getting to see her while she’s home from Whales. We had a lot of fun hanging out…i’m so thankful for that time! Here are a couple pictures from the Tuesday when we went to lunch before she left. 

 

The girls (Ang, Emily, Jage, Lindsay and me)

I don’t remember what was going on here…haha

Saying goodbye…just for 8 months… :-\ i miss this

(yes…i’m short…i know)

Love you Jage!

So then on Wednesday everyone came down and my whole family had Christmas at Steph and Chris’. We had lots of fun! Prepare for lots of pictures! 

 

Mrs. Jessee helped us start off the morning right by cooking an AMAZING breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes, delicious little potato things, and yeah. it was amazing. 

After breakfast, the Caleb and Alec did a little presentation of the Christmas story for us, which was great. Chris then read the actual Christmas story from the Bible, which has been a tradition for years. Then the gifts were distributed and we were off!

 

Ella bella liked the Santa hat              David got some sweet gator stuff

Traditional sibling picture. Every year mom buys us each another beautiful Christmas plate to add to our set. 

We got lots of fun gifts this year, including a Wii! and lots of other fun stuff.

 

Ang and me all tuckered out after a long Christmas day. 

Then yesterday my dad, david, chris, ang, lindsay, abbott, Hannah masri and I all went to see Valcrie. So that was very fun and then Ang and I hung out with Abbott and Linds along with Steph and Ariel later and all went to Cracker barrel with my fam last night. 

 

Now there is quite a sad ending to this very fun week for me, and I’ll tell you why. Starting last saturday I came down with a fever. Now we’ve all had fevers and it’s normally something that goes away within a couple days. Well, because we had to go to Orlando I just kinda kept advil in me all week to keep the pain off, but the fever never really went away all week. Well long story short, it got worse and worse and by last night i was in bad shape. I went to the doctor this morning and I have… pneumonia. ahhh! Thankfully it’s a minor case, but it’s a case non the less. I think hardest thing to hear the doctor say was after my dad said “well she’s a senior and plays basketball” he replied “not anymore she isn’t”. He told me i shouldn’t play again for about a month…which is almost all we have left of the season. I know the Lord is sovereign and has a reason for this and I know I have to trust Him. This one is just killing me. but, I’ll make it through and will consider from now on that too much fun when by body can’t handle much more can have serious consequences.

 

Well, I hope you all are doing well and had a good Christmas. Have a good New Year and I’d STRONGLY suggest you don’t get pneumonia…it’s not much fun at all. 

Love to you all.

Merry Christmas! December 25, 2008
