The Flu

We all have heard how the flu shots were off on their strains this year and so our house was no exception. Caleb got it first with his fever spiking at 103.5 and body aches. Fortunately Motrin got him through it within 2 days. It started for me on Thursday and by Friday I was a mess. I stayed on top of the Tylenol as I knew I didn't want my temp. with baby getting close to 103.5. The highest I recorded it was 101.8. Let me tell you that I practicly lived in our bathtub as nothing else felt good. It moved into my chest and head and with me not being able to breath I called the Dr Monday afternoon. Tuesday morning was my last fever and also when I went in to the Dr. I had progressed into a respiratory and sinus infection. They put me on an inhaler as they didn't want my o2 sats going down and on an antibiotic. Today I actually feel like I am starting to pull through. I am so greatful that Elton and Dan haven't gotten hit with it yet and I hope they don't. This is what has taken me so long to get my next post about Elton's birthday up.
