After I wrote my last blog on Monday night I was feeling hopeful that we were almost through the woods but I soon realized not yet! Both of the boys were up almost that whole night, once an hour. Tuesday morning, Elijah had another symptom that I won't go into detail, just gross, you get the drift. Then he says his ear hurts so off to the doctor we go. Isaac was checked for flu, it came back negative. Elijah had an ear infection so off to the pharmacy for our one antibiotic. I dropped it off, we had lunch and then went back to do our grocery shopping. The pharmacy was backed up....imagine that! While we are making our way through the store, I am hit with the worst case of chills and body aches I have ever had. We were out of groceries at home so I had to persevere! Get home, put the boys down for a nap, unload groceries & then hop in bed. 30 minutes later Jimmy walks in (early from work) with fever, aches, sore throat...the whole bit. If you know Jimmy at all then you know he had to feel terrible. He never takes a sick day. We had just talked at lunch and we were both fine. Crazy! We both laid around all night and then called the dr. this morning. They could see us both at 10:15. Thanks to my sister-in-law Karin for advising me that it sounded like the flu so go get swabbed quick so you can get on Tamiflu. So basically....Jimmy has strep throat, Elijah has an ear infection, & Isaac & I have the flu! I tested negative for the flu but the Dr. said I was classic case and that the test doesn't catch all strings so she said Isaac had the same string of the flu that I had. Off we went to drop off 5 prescriptions!!! We are in bad shape!
