There is also a nasty tracheo-laryngitius bouncing around the Chandler family (cough). With the high volume of dust and molds in the valley air, my asthma is kicking up, too (cough cough). Mrs. Chandler wanted me to go to urgent care Christmas Eve, but I knew I literaaly would not survive sitting in the waiting room for 12 hours (wheeze).
I'm much better now, but Mrs. Chandler is having a relapse. Daughter Elizabeth and grandson Joey are having a second round, too.
It's bad up here in Flag too..ugh! :(
We've had something similar since a trip to So. Cal in late October (we live in WA). Two of us ended up on antibiotics. The two year old had an ear infection and I (pregnant mom) had it settle in my chest and throat. Even after a round of antibiotics, it's not totally gone. Ex-MIL met us on vacation and got the same thing. She lives in Avondale and has not been able to get in to see a doctor or urgent care. She said the same thing about the 12 hour wait in the ER. She is almost to the point of driving to Mexico and picking up antibiotics there. I am not usually a fan of that tactic, but... I really don't blame her. It's sad when you do have medical insurance and you can't get medical care!
Been there. Had that. I had laryngitis for over two weeks. That's a record. Crummy crud!
