FLU!!!

Despite my best efforts, we have the flu. Monday evening, Nathan, Natalie, and myself became sick. Low grade fevers, sore throats....just thought it was a cold. Natalie rebounded quickly....totally acting normal today with no signs of sickness. But Nathan and myself are still sick, and on top of that, Nolan started feeling sick this morning. I decided to call the doctor and have Nathan checked out since his cough sounded deep, and he was just not acting quite like himself. The doctor said his ears looked great and his throat was a little red. I told her about the rest of us getting sick -except for Matt- and she thought we should go ahead and swab him for the flu. And, of course, it was positive. So she wrote the whole family prescriptions for Tamiflu....this will be the first time that we've had a prescription filled for any of the kids. The other bad part of this is the doctor said an ear infection will typically follow the flu....

So it's probably going to be a LONG week here....just hope I can keep some sort of energy going as I feel achy all over and cloudy in my head. Wish us luck and a speedy recovery!
