You & me both Leah!!
I am sorry you're suffering, too!
I've been sick since New Years...I had a UTI, then a terrible head cold, then my kids each got the head cold, then I got it back from them and it turned into Bronchitis and then this morning my 5yo was diagnosed with a Middle Ear Infection....and I have been plugging away doing shows thru all of this - thank God for good cold medicines (I swear by Tylenol Cold) and my ability to nap a few hours each day.

Leah, we have it here too. I had to take Caleb to the ER this morning since he was seriously shaking, like he was FREEZING but he was burning up! So they said the he had a middle ear infection sent us home with antibiotic and a inhaler. And said give him Tylenol and wait until it is over..

Ugh. I hate seeing him sick.

Both of my teens went to bed as soon as dinner was over at 6:30 last night and are just now getting up 6:30 AM.
They are congested and headachy.

My 4 & 6 year old are coughing and yacking but so far that is the only symptoms. We just got over the 9 days of being sick with Peanut Butter so I don't want anything here for a LOOOONG time!

I got a upper resp infection a the begginning of February and had just gotten over it last week then I got the dreaded FLU on Thursday. I started running a fever of 104, my skin hurt, my legs hurt, my eyeballs hurt, my head...it was horrible. It lasted 4 days and then just turned into a cough and congestion. The flu is hitting this area later. I work for a doctors office and we have seen alot of of what I had this weekend. One of the doctors was sick with the same thing as me. Now we are both just congested and coughing. So.... wash your hands and be careful.

Both my kids have just gotten over the rotavirus. ICKY...do not wish this on anyone. Poor kids. Their appetites stil are not back to normal and now my 2 1/2 yr old is just UBER-cranky...ughhhh.

Anyday now it will ht me like a ton of bricks....

There was so much flu and upper respiratory stuff going around that a couple of the schools had been closed for a couple of days. Both of my boys had the respiratory stuff but that was bad enough. I hate seeing them cough themselves to where it makes you hurt to watch them hurt. Things here are better.

Been There!So sorry Leah! I know how awful it is!
We have had a Noro-Virus epidemic in West Michigan (Actually made the front page of the Grand Rapids Press!), and my DH, my DS, and myself all had it...I think that is the sickest I have ever been!.....just when we were all feeling better - we all came down with the Flu....and it has hung on forever! Like Carolyn, I feel like I've been sick for 2 months, and am just now feeling better!

Hope you and yours are feeling better soon!

I work in a hospital down here in extreme S. TX; the flu is really, really bad and Strep throat too. My best friend had her tubes tied, was told to take it easy, she was already off work a few days, then caught the flu (tested +) and her and her 5 yr old daughter went to the nigth clinic and both were pos with the flu and strep. She tried to keep her 2 1/2 yr old away and he got it too. She attempted to come back to work only to go back home for another week, just now sounding better. Winter is typically our peak season due to the snow birds from up North but this yr the census has been down, then the last week and a half the hsp is so full there's no beds that cubicals with bes were set up in the hallways, ED/ ER etc.

I sure hope I don't get it, although I had a little awhile back, but I take the flu shot every yr so when I do get it it's not as bad.

Good Luck and hope everyone feels beter soon.
