Will the flu season ever end?


Apparently not. Jack and David are finishing up another week of vomiting, diarrhea and coughing (which induces more vomit). Rich and I are exhausted, along with our washer and dryer. The kids went through every blanket, towel and sheet we have.. many times. We're just glad we have so many. Jumbo Jack has been reduced to a small fry. Our emaciated child is now holding down his fair share of Pedialite, but we're not out of the woods yet. Forget swine flu... it's the good ol' fashioned stomach flu that worries me. In other news.... well... I guess there isn't any. We're just hoping this is the last plague of the season and that we can get back to doing what we love best: playing, dancing, giggling and straightening up everything in our tornado toddler's path.

Man, you guys have really been through it this year. Did you ever try the probiotics (acidophilus)? It really helps to get over any intestinal symptoms. They're so easy to mix in food too.

It sounds like you guys have been through the ringer this winter/spring. Rachel is home sick from school today with just a fever, but she asked me if she had the swine flu!

Oh, so sorry to hear that the boys (and you guys) have not been well. There is nothing sadder than a sick boy. Hang in there!
