I haven't written lately because of an illness I have been dealing with. This is the 11th day of low grade fevers ranging from 99.8 F to 100.2F and swollen glands throughout my body. It leaves me exhausted and fatigued, so I have been doing the necessary tasks of the day and then resting. I have started an antibiotic as well. The doctor is not sure whether I have an infection or if there is another cause so he is running some other tests in the meantime.

Anna's birthday was very nice, I enjoyed having my parents and Martha & Troy and our children here for a turkey dinner. Bob and Grayson came to share some cake and Anna was happy to have her friend help her open presents.
