1685 Influenza Ave.

Well it all started with the letter that is attached to this blog. Leland came home from preschool with the letter last Thursday. Of course Leland came down with the wonderful stuff Thursday night. Of course I had a "mandatory" meeting at work on Friday, but I did skip out for the afternoon so I could take Leland to the pediatrician. Curious to know if he had strep throat. The pediatrician said it was just a bad virus. Things looked good for everyone else until some time early Sunday morning. Sutton now had it. I went to work on Monday and Nate's aunt Kay came to stay with the boys. She called me around noon saying that Sutton was continuing to go down hill. So it was another trip to the pediatrician. They didn't even ask to see my insurance card because we had just been there!! Sutton was confirmed as having infuenza type a. We were told to expect the fever to last for 5 days. Let's just say that was not good news, knowing how the last 2 nights had been!!! I stayed home from work on Tuesday and Wednesday (today). Still so far so good for the adults!! At about 11:00 my phone rings, it's Nate. Hum, that is unusal, his lunch isn't until 11:30 and he never calls unless he is on break or lunch. His hello is not sounding good and he wants to know if I need anything from town before he comes home. Man another one is down for the count. Since returing from work Nate has not moved, well except to go from the bed to the couch. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I remain healthy!!
