Today wasn’t as bad as yesterday and I only had a few small short lived patches of hives so that was good. But, it still wasn’t great. I was pretty congested all day and had a headache again for a good portion of the day. I’m still feeling hopeful that tomorrow will be better. I’m suppose to go to a baby shower for a friend tomorrow which I’ve really been looking forward to for a while so I’m really hoping that I will be feeling well and not have any problems tomorrow that would make it so that I wouldn’t enjoy the shower. Well, here’s hoping Day Fifteen will be better.
Health to you and yours -
