So, not only did Addie Grey fight the flu, but only 4 days later, she came down with a bacterial infection that knocked her flat out. She ran a fever of 103 for only 24 hours, but the poor baby was in pretty rough shape. I couldn't even get her to wake up while we were at the Dr's office. Luckily, just a few doses of antibiotic and she was back to her playful self.
And then I got a phone call from the school on Thursday from my oldest. He was complaining of a stomach ache and his teachers said he had not been himself all morning. Although his temp was only 99, something told me to give him a dose of Tamiflu and take him to the Dr. Sure enough. He tested positive for the flu too. He was SO sad to miss his Christmas party at school on Friday, but after just a few doses, he was up and running again too. He didn't get his as hard as the girls and his temp never got above 99.
Then, on Friday night, Makinley decided it was a good time to throw up a few times for good measure. I mean, we haven't dealt with enough sickness around here the last two weeks, right? Here's to hoping that 2 weeks out from school can kill all the germs and we can start out 2015 with our immune systems strong. I didn't have to go to the DR at all in 2014 with the big kids for a sick visit (well, except once with Tripp for a sinus infection), and then I had 4 copays in the month of December alone. Not to mention what our pharmacy bill is going to be. Tamiflu is NOT cheap!!
