The flu for two!!!

This week started with me kind of feeling off kilter. I was just grumpy the first couple days of the week and then Wednesday started feeling a little congestion. I chalked it up to a little cold but by Friday I was slammed with body aches, chills, and then a temp. I called Mike home from work because I was worried I might have the flu. Both my girls have had the flu mist but Owen was too little so my concern was for him. Mike took over the feedings and the snuggling but it was too late!

Friday evening, Owen slept for over 4 hours through a feeding and then barely ate his last feeding. He woke up miserable a few times in the night as if his body hurt. Sat he slept a lot and didn't eat well. But about 6:00 Saturday evening he was running a temp and refusing to eat. So for the second time in two weeks we made our way to the ER. His temp was 103.9 when we checked in!!! The dr confirmed that we had the flu and he was given tylenol and a prescription for Tamiflu.



Here he is getting his second dose of Tamiflu.This should lessen his symptoms and hopefully shorten his sick time!

Hopefully we will both get to feeling better soon and we are very much hoping not to infect the rest of the family!!!
