I took all four sicky's (marcus, camille, savannah, and kennon) to the Dr. today instead of going to church then brought them home again with advice to just keep toughing it out since the flu going around can linger for TWO weeks! It was miserable since they were all running fevers when I drug them out of the house to sit and wait in a patient room with not even enough seats for all of us. You know that they were sick because kennon wouldn't even brush her hair and left home without a single accessory.
Camille starting running a fever again last night and so I really got concerned, since it has been a week for her, and I thought she was getting better.
The Dr. ordered an x-ray after listening to her lungs. Of the four of them hers one was the only one that sounded a little crackly. I waited for an hour for the results thinking, "here we go again". But the x-ray showed clear lungs and we were sent home with zero antibiotics.
I haven't had a well house since Oct 8th when Caroline first got sick. Camille got sick the day after we got home from the hospital. I don't think I can take much more of this watching all my children with high fevers for SO LONG!
I know that there is people sick all over the country right now but is anyone else getting hit this bad at their house? That's what happens when you have so many kids I guess. Everything gets drug out a lot longer and mothers have 5x as much to worry about.
And, apparently my super foods aren't doing the trick.

That stinks- I hope everyone gets healthy soon.
Hope you all feel better very soon! And I especially hope that neither you nor Brent get it. A few years ago the flu hit our whole family, including Tom and me. Get well soon, Caspers!
It is rough having sick kids. I hope everyone gets better soon.
I am thinking of you and praying for you!!
Sorry to hear the other four are down with the flu too. My brother, his girlfriend and their two girls, 4 and 20 months all came down with thi Swine Flu recently. They're all doing better but the baby, the 20 month old, is still running high fevers and combatting it. It's terrible when you're kids are sick and even harder when mom and dad are sick too...so keep yourselves healthy. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help..run errands..anything. We'll be praying for you all :-)!
