A Bunch Of Sickies Up In Here. :)

Last week was a dozy at my house.  It started with me getting a call from my sons school that he was sick and had a fever and then snowballed into a sick infested house faster then you could say snowball, and I'm not even kidding.  :/

Wednesday, I woke up with a fever, chills and body aches and I felt like death. I could not hardly move out of bed. My sweet husband took the kids to my in laws to watch the kids to let me sleep and try and feel better but by the afternoon I was worse and I had him take me to Urgent Care. Where I was told I had the flu. UGGHHHHH!  {funny story, when the Dr was looking me over, he said, "I can tell you don't feel well, your shirt is inside out."    "Welllllll Gooooood," I said.  That's when you know you definitely don't feel well, that and my watch was on upside down too. Looorrdddyyyy!

So after leaving there we went and picked the kids up and as soon as I walked in I knew Malley was sick. She was sitting on my Father In Laws lap and didn't even turn her head to look at me and her eyes were glassy and watery and she had a fever and felt miserable.  I called the after hours care at her Pediatricians office and made her a 7pm appt and off she went to be seen.  I got a call from my hubby that she too had the flu........Mamas heart was broken.....I felt horrible not only physically but for her to have to flu made me burst into tears and weep for her.  I of course had the flu and I would have taken the flu from her and given to myself ten fold for her to not have it.  I mean, I knew how miserable I felt, I could only imagine how she felt......my sweet Mal Mal.

My son thankfully didn't have the flu but was just sick with a virus.,,,,then on Friday my Husband got sick.....not the flu but then by Saturday my poor Father In Law had the flu.........Oy Vay!

Sooooo this long winded post and all that to say,,,,,,,not sure if you are for or against the flu shot (the only person who had the flu shot in my family was my FIL and he still got the flu) but get the flu shot.   I wish now I would have.....the deal with Malley is that the last time she was at her 1 year appointment her doctors office did not have the vaccine in and then she got it.  I will say from now on, we will be getting it. 

You don't realize how fragile babies are until its at that point that you cant do anything for them and NOTHING feels worse as a parent when you cant take their pain/sickness away. :(


So, we are now all on the mend, thank goodness and hopefully we can all stay that way. I'm hoping we have all our sickies out of the way for the Holidays and we can enjoy them.

Stay well friends,
