It started out as A FEW WITH THE FLU…
and now it’s more like MOST of the FAM WITH THE FLU
(save two… Hannah & Tru).
First Abe – who has been the sickest of everyone. Cough, fever, chills, red & sore eye. He stayed home from school on Friday and is still home today (Tuesday). Max’s stomach hurts – on top of all the other junk that Abe has. Zuzu started a cough and fever yesterday. And then Jimmy … who stayed home from work today.
I’ve been on the verge of getting sick for a week + and I’m so grateful it hasn’t erupted into something terrible. I’ve had a slight cough, aches, and tiredness. On Guard, occasional naps, lots of water, smoothies with spinach & blueberries, chicken noodle soup, and lots of blessings from Heavenly Father are keeping me going.
As much as I love Hannah’s help, I’ve encouraged her to stay in her room and read … hoping she’ll avoid this gombie. I don’t know how Tru hasn’t gotten it… he sleeps in the boy’s sick room. We’ll hope these two stay healthy.
I was hoping we’d avoid this nasty flu this year. Abe got the flu mist. The rest of us got a flu shot (except Jimmy). So I know that we have the ‘lesser’ version of the flu. Nothing like what I’ve heard about others having 101+ fever for 5 days.
sigh…
At least it helps us realize how grateful we are for good health.
Oh dear, I am so sorry. I am glad you got the shot to make it less severe. I wonder whether the mist is as effective… the one year I got the mist was the year I was the most sick. Not cool. Sending well wishes your way!!!
