Man Down

Well, Tom woke up this morning with a 102 degree fever and a cough. Out of nowhere. So, he went to the doctor first thing this morning and sure enough, tested positive for influenza A. He is on Tamiflu, as am I for prophylaxis. Ella is too young to take it, so we are just praying hard and keeping our fingers crossed that she doesn't get it. It has been one thing after another this Winter! We certainly won't be sad to see it go. As I write this, though, there are sheets of ice falling out of the sky. It is unbelievable. The clinic closed early so I was able to pick Ella up early from the sitter and come home to take care of Tom. I've told him he has been quarantined to our room only. I am spraying Clorox Anywhere spray like it's nobody's business. I've washed my hands so many times they're cracking. Let's see if it helps!!
Hope you all are staying healthy! We'll keep you posted.....

YUCK!! My whole family has had it too. I kind of feel like I've had a mild case of it for about 2 weeks. Hope Ella and you can somehow avoid catching it!! Spray on, April!!
