Let's just say that this has not been the best of weeks around here. All 3 kids and I came down with a lovely strain of Influenza A last weekend. I'm happy to say that, after 7 long days, we are FINALLY all on the mend. Poor Carly got the worst of it -- she battled a raging fever for an entire week. I don't think her little body could have possibly held any more Tylenol or Motrin. Alex was the first to return to school -- he finally went back on Wednesday. Nick returned on Thursday and I was home all week long -- down myself through Wednesday and then home playing nurse-maid to poor Carly on Thursday and Friday. Her 104 fever finally broke in the wee hours of Saturday morning and she has been fever free ever since. Hooray! Let me tell you -- this was one NASTY bug. And a prime reason why all good moms should get their kids in for flu shots as soon as they are available in the fall!!! I delayed .... and you see for yourself what happened. :o( Needless to say, we will be headed to the doctor's office at some point this week to finally get immunized.
Here's to a better week for the Miller household! Thank goodness the kids and I are better because Mike left this morning for Orlando on a business trip ... lucky dog - he'll be basking in the warm Disney sun all week while we battle the central Illinois chilly weather here.
Hope everyone is staying WELL!!!
