One Sick House

It's been a couple weeks now and I think I'm finally caught up on things at home and school (well, as "caught up" as I'll ever be anyway). Two weeks ago I got sick on Sunday and it ended up being the flu -- it was pretty horrible...+103 fever, aches, seal cough, runny nose...the works. I had Jim look up if we could market "I Survived the Swine, 2009" T-shirts, but someone beat me to it. Then James stayed home Monday with us (Jimmy already had the day off but changed it to a sick day to take care of James and I) because he was coughing so hard he couldn't keep his bottle down. He went to day care Tuesday, only to be sent home with a 102 fever. Well, when the doctor found out that I had tested positive for the Influenza A, she decided it was a good idea to treat James for the flu too (that stuff is expensive)! Both of our fevers broke and we were on the mend.
We didn't get too many smiles out of James that whole week -- but he was still willing to play around for a little bit.

Then Tuesday night into Wednesday Jim spiked a fever. I made him go to the urgent care Wednesday when he hadn't heard from his doctor all day to see if he could get a script for Tamiflu since I was sick with the flu...ends up that was a blessing because he had Strep, not the flu. Luckily, James was already on amoxicillin for a possible sinus infection to combat that...so we don't know who the original carrier of the flu and/or strep was (I was negative for strep) but needless to say, we had a realllly long week!

Jimmy is all better, James is still coughing but it's just from his sinus infection and my flu turned in to a sinus infection, so I'm still coughing but MUCH better.
All this sick stuff can just stay away for the rest of time, thank you very much!
