What An Awful Week!

Sick! Sick! Sick!  The Fab Family has been hit by the dreaded Flu!  Poor Braylen had a double ear infection and upper respiratory infection over last weekend and into this week and we were all feeling for him.  Well, before long we were all feeling pretty awful ourselves. 

Brian and Rich said they weren’t feeling to well early in the week, then I started with a terrible tight cough on Tuesday.  Well, by Wednesday afternoon I had diarrhea and vomiting.  Jodi was the next to get it, having to stay home from work on Wednesday.  Rich was going to work from home on Wednesday because I was sick, but by mid-morning he was sick as well.  Brian had to leave work early on Wednesday because he was sick.  Jenn was doing okay up to Thursday morning.  She felt fine, but started with the tight cough.  By that evening her chest ached as mine had, but she was still feeling fine.  That didn’t last long.  Friday morning she woke with the Flu.  My mother had a Flu Shot a couple months ago, but we made sure she stayed in her room with the door closed most of the time, just in case!  Jenn, being the last to fall, still isn’t doing too well, but the rest of us are on the mend.

 I’ve never had a Flu Shot and I’ve heard good and bad things about them.  When I saw my doctor last Fall, she asked if I wanted a shot.  I told her I’d never had one and wasn’t sure.  She didn’t press my to have one.  Next year I’m going to rethink that decision!  I’ve been pretty healthy.  Haven’t even had a really bad cold that lasted more than three or four days.  My last really bad case of Flu was back in 1997, though I did have a milder Flu last year.  I’m going to also rethink what vitamins I’ve be taking. 

Hope everyone else is healthy and stays that way!!!
