I'm hoping he doesn't end up needing prednisone or breathing treatments to get through this. Now for the really fun part! Monday I started to not feel very well, and by this morning felt like I had been hit by a truck. Aching all over, headache,sore throat,congestion. I am hoping my daughter is lucky and bypasses this lovely illness, but right now it is not looking good! Thanks for letting me vent, I hope anyone else who has the crud at their house feels better soon!!
I got a strain of it the early part of the week of Christmas...by Christmas I couldn't talk and began getting better then until this week when I've been coughing and coughing, sneezing, drippy nose! I am feeling better and didn't really feel "bad". DH has it since last Friday and is home from work today (but he did my dishes and straightened up some). He works outside (carpentry) and just didn't feel he could do that today. So I am just under 3 weeks, and he's just a full week, so hopefully this will leave our household soon!! I'm sick of it!
