Flu.....

I can honestly say that I have never been so sleep deprived.... It is one thing to have one child down with the flu and high fevers at night for a few nights and then have fever free sleep, but another thing entirely to have one child get bug A, get over it, the next child get it, get over it etc.. and then move to bug B! So far this past month or so, the kids have gone through bugs A, B and C and then on to resulting infections! Aubri and Andy have weathered them fairly well and did not get any other infection, but poor little Sera went from the croup with this most recent, high, high fever flu bug right into an ear infection and sinus infection. She was out of daycare for over a week. Thankfully, my dad was able to keep her a few of the days, as she mended.

Finally, as we begin a long weekend, this kids are are fever free and starting to all feel better. It is going to be a quiet weekend, so they can rest and enjoy some quiet time without feeling yucky and so mom can HOPEFULLY finally SLEEP!

Since I had the flu shot (and I am generally immune from most of the kid ailments from such repeated exposure), and so did my dad ......I am praying desperately that we don't come down with it. This flu strain out this year is really a doozy!

Next flu season, we ALL get the flu shot and take that nasty tasting Airborne stuff daily!!
