Hello blog buddies -- I am so sorry I have been neglecting my blog. Not much to chat about these past few days -- even though I have been quite busy!
So darn it -- today, I was reading an email from a friend about her daughter having the flu -- and I've had so many friends who have been sick or had sick kids. I know there has been SO much illness going around -- seems like it is everywhere, no matter what state you live in or how healthy you usually are.
I was just thinking to myself this morning, how thankful I am and how lucky my family has been to have avoided the flu and walking pneumonia, which is going around here. And that's when it happened -- I jinxed myself!
My poor little Nick, who seemed perfectly fine this morning, starting getting very lethargic after lunch and could not stop yawning. He started saying "Go to sleep Mama" over and over -- and if you know this child, sleeping is not on his list of top 100 things to do in a day. So I picked him up and he was burning up. Temp is about 101 degrees and the poor thing has been sleeping for the past four hours -- with a few interruptions where he wakes up, moans, cries and can't get comfortable. He says his head hurts and I feel so helpless.
His symptoms are just what everyone whose child has had the flu has described to me, so I guess we are headed to see the doctor in the morning. Wish me luck on keeping the rest of the house well. And say a little prayer for my little guy -- he is so miserable.
Hope you and your families are well! I'll try to post again soon.

Oh crap! but that sounds like the beginning of the flu bug that is going around. Hopefully it just gets the headache, and maybe will feel better by tomorrrow. crossing fingers here he does... keep me posted
We will pray that the worst of it will be just 24 hours.
Sorry Rita. And, my best get better hug to Nicholas.
Do you think that when you miss out on blogging for a few days, it can somehow bring the flu to your house? I think that is the same thing that happened to me!
I'm so sorry!
Hope he is feeling better today!!
Poor little kiddo...I sure hope he feels better soon.
Barq's is sending old puppy kisses to take the aches away.
hugs
Poor kid! I hope he's feeling better soon - and that none of the rest of you catch it!!
Hugs!

Poor babies. I know you posted at CC that they have strep, both suck, so I hope they get better soon and don't pas it on to you.

Gosh I hope your house doesn't get things too bad. There's so much ickies going around this year it's terrible. Good Luck!
Awww, hope the kiddos are feeling better now, Rita!! Strepp is the WORST! When I had it last year, I was miserable, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, especially the little bitties.
