Flu bugs...let's squash them

We'll be quarantined voluntarily for a while. We've contracted a nasty flu bug. I had been so meticulous about avoiding public spaces with the children and adding hand sanitizer to the daily regimen of hygiene. I don't care to find out if it's swine flu or just another bug going around. Verifying the particular strain would just mean a doctor's office trip, a co-pay, and a sympathetic cluck of the tongue as they send us home to wait it out the best we can.

Daniel has been very sick for 3 days, and Sarah just came down with it today. If it makes the rounds one person at a time, it's going to be a verrrrrrrrrry long week. On the other hand, I'm very thankful that I can minister to each person individually as they feel sick, rather than be overwelmed with the entire family sick simultaneously. Hopefully we won't spread the virus to anyone else due to our quarantine. Hopefully it will pass sooner than later!

OH I am sorry my little girl had the flu last week and it lasted about 9 days of fever 2 of the days over 103 with meds but she is on the mend now and just has the residual cough and runny nose. Hopefully you don't get it too! Good Luck!
