On the Mend...FINALLY!

We are finally on the very downhill stretch of this awful illness that went through my family. It all started last Friday and here we are over a week later on a Sunday and I can finally say we are better. I took the boys in to the doc on Thursday and he decided that they both started out with what was likely H1N1 virus and then got hit with bacterial infections on top of that. Tyler had a ear infection and Adam a upper respiratory infection. I am going to agree with him because for one thing Adam had 6 days of a fever and then they both responded SO well to the antibiotics that I just think he was right on the money. (Apparently the H1N1 fever is only lasting 4-5 days.)Grace so far has only really had a runny nose and a fever a few days last week. Let's all cross our fingers that's all she'll get. I think I had the touch of some kind of flu last week as well. I had more of the sore throat and headache than a cough but I felt like crud for a couple days. Justin has been our rock and stayed healthy thus far. Stay healthy everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Angela, that sounds miserable. All this flu stuff is kind of scary, and I'm sorry to hear that your family got hit with it so hard (plus some!). Has it been going around Adam's school? I just want to put a bubble around Anna!

I happy to hear you're all on the mend. Thank goodness Justin didn't get, so he could take care of you all! :) I'm sending healthy thoughts your way!

I'm waiting for the post in which you explain Gracie's chronic runny nose. I won't steal your thunder but you know it's time!
