It was anything but pretty around here this past week. We have all had Influenza to one degree or another. (And to think we faithfully washed hands, used Lysol and hand sanitizer.) No wonder Hudson's class has been a cesspool of illness.
Tuns out I was the weakest link and did not suffer so graciously. Needless to say, I was the guinea pig that had a worthless dr. visit. And then an urgent care visit the following day. They tested me for influenza and gave me an IV for fluids.
The swabbing for the culture was brutal, like up your nose to your brain. So glad it was me, not any of my kids. I'm pretty sure they never would have forgiven me. Once we had the results, it was a blanket prescription for the household. Tamiflu for everyone.
Apparently we're still contagious as long as we have symptoms. Nice. Because we need a few more days of being cooped up in the house alone.
