Sick Days

I remember vaugley hearing on the news about a flu epidemic. I thought oh we should be ok as we had our flu shots. HA HA... Boy oh boy was I wrong and it hit us hard. First was Devin. He suddenly after dinner was hit with a 103 temp and was snuggely. He had the poopies and pretty lathargic. I gave him a dose of Children's Advil and his temp was gone. The next day was pretty much a repeat. But wednesday he was better but I felt just another day at home would be better then going to school. So during wednesday, I started feeling pretty Ill. I felt very cold and feverish. I took my temp and it was 102. I thought great. I took some nyquil that night and woke up pretty stinkin Ill again. In fact I was so cold I resorted to a hot shower and my electric blanket. The husband stayed home to tend to the kids so I could "rest". Friday came and went. I was still the same and no medicine was helping. But at this point fever was a consistent 102, i had the poopies, throwing up, headache, sore throat, cough, runny nose and body ache. I called the doctor sunday as I was still  not getting better. They said urgent care now! I went in, I honestly don't remember small details. How I drove there I will never know. But I had an x-ray, nebulizer treatment, and sent on my way with meds for a lung infection and bladder infection. Well today monday, I am fever free. Which is nice because I don't feel like I got hit by a truck. But the cough is still here and stronger then ever. I actually barely slept at all last night. But I do feel like the medicine the doctor gave me is doing it's job. With a sad note, the husband started getting sick yesterday. So did my daughter. So it's on it's last leg with those two. Liam has avoided it for now. He may have had it for a day. He slept a lot that day. A 5 hr nap. I actually went and checked on him thinking gosh is he breathing? I just hope that the flu will leave and never return. This stuff is no joke. I am stocking up on some lysol spray and medicines! I hope you all are staying healthy. If not feel better soon.
