We have been sick around here....
Anna last week had a mild fever and cough, didn't go to church.
Then Monday Sydney had a fever and a really awful cough. No School for her
all week. She has been so sick. Her doctor said it is Strain A of the flu. She recommended
rest and lots of fluids. She has had a fever everyday since.
Then Tuesday my turn for the flu.....I was so sick. Fever of 102, chills cold sweats. Yuck.
I went to the Doctor yesterday. I was recommended the same as Sydney. Rest and fluids.
I did get Tamaflu though. I guess it's flying off the shelves right now at the pharmacy. I am
slowly discovering my old self. Just in time too.
Dillon, Easton and Ian all have the chills and Fever. This is not a nice flu bug. In the past we have
gotten flu shots. This year we didn't. It makes me wonder if I made a mistake. Missing a whole week
of school.... It's 4:00 a.m. and I just made the rounds with Advil. Kiddos are all burning up. I'm so grateful for modern medicine.
I hope our sweet nurse, Benjamin doesn't get it. Hopefully we will be back strong in a few days.
Oh so sad! :(. Good luck over there, I feel for you.
ReplyDeleteoh no, so sorry! i hope it's quick for everyone. it's so hard to be the mom AND sick. and then it's so hard having to take care of kids that are sick. . . especially a lot of them. :) hang in there - it will pass.
ReplyDeletep.s. i love the flu shot. i get them for me and my kids the week they come available. :)
wish you all get well soon :-) Thinking of you and praying for your family. In quite some pain this week, new pelvis is "settling," as the doctor says...but improving otherwise. Staring driving the kids home from school, little steps, right??? Thanks for the beautiful flowers, see there photo on my most recent blog post. Loving them in the dining room right now. making days with pain pass more quickly - something lovely to look at. Talk to you soon,
