FLU

UGH!! The FLU has hit our house! It all started on Feb 25th when Chuck was not feeling the greatest. Abby had her shots on the 24th so she was running a low grade fever which is normal after their 18 months shots. By the following weekend he was still not feeling well. Two weeks later (our 10th anniversary no less) he is sick with the flu. Made for a really "fun" weekend. He actually asked me to call the doctor to get him in to be seen.

Now at this point Abby & I are fine. Sunday morning at church Abby was fine and dandy. Sunday night all of the sudden there is projectile vomit all over me, the couch, blankets, floor, Abby, everywhere! I am yelling at Chuck for help. (Please keep in mind this is only the 2nd time that I have dealt with Abby vomit.) I left Chuck to clean it up while I put her in the bathtub. Poor little girl was miserable! I took her to the doctor the next day. Yep, she has the flu! When chuck got home from work he took over and then I went to Walmart to get her prescription. I called the pharmacy to make sure they had it ready (they are notorious for not being done on time) and of course it wasn't done. I had to call the on-call doctor because Dr Pellant forgot to give a dosage for it. An hour and a half later it was done and I was on my way home. Abby is doing so much better now, but still her ornery self. I started the tamiflu on Tuesday as a precaution and still ended up getting sick. At least I am not as bad I I could be though! Hopefully we will all be over this by the end of the weekend and able to get on with our lives! My house is in a shambles, and I have tons of laundry to wash, fold & put away!
