Fighting the Flu

Well the rest of the family got the flu too so we are all trying to help each other get over it. I have got to say even though I feel bad I am on the road to recovery. It has been a rough week but at least we will have this over with early in the season. Lots of cough drops and fluids. Glad to know it's almost over!

Flu Season Here

Happy Birthday Dad! Wish I could go visit but I am sick with the flu. This flu is a bad one. I have coughed so bad that my stomach even hurts. I have been taking Vit C and finally broke down and drank some yellow root yesterday. It helped some but I am still dragging. This has been about 4 days now so there has to be a light at the end of this tunnel. I hope I will be better soon.

Snow

It is snowing at last. We finally got some snow. It is just beautiful and very cold! It will be down in the twenties tonight so the old woodstoves are burning. Trying to get over the flu so I have been eating hot cinnamon candy to keep my throat from hurting so bad and it also helps suppress the cough.

H1N1 Flu

Green got sick the other day and started running a fever, he was down and out and didn't feel like sitting up to get a drink. Paul took him to the Dr. and they said it cost to much to do the h1n1 test and went ahead and started him on Tamiflu because he had all the symptoms, next Ben gets it and he is down and out for about a day, Green still extreemly weak and not able to do much more than sit up and get a drink and take his meds. Fever ran about 102.5. So seeing how this is spreading pretty fast I went ahead and took the rest of the kids to the Dr. and got Ben started on the Tamiflu too. I also got a bottle for Harrison just in case while we were there. The Dr. said not to start him on it unless his fever went above 101 and he had not started running a fever yet. So we went home and sure enough it hit Harrison that afternoon. He was down and out too. Three very sick kids and the little one had not got it yet. Dr. says if the little one gets it to bring her back to see him and he was going to be closed the next day.
