Lucky Us

So, hello there. We are currently in the throes of a nasty bout with....are you ready....wait for it......
The Swine Flu.
Yes, it's true! Aren't you jealous!
Well, you should be.
I mean, you too, could have 5 solid days of being a zombie, chills so severe they actually make the bed or couch shake, fevers so high that you could cook eggs on your forehead, and an absolute zero appetite. Not to mention the general feeling of what it's like to be run over by a truck hauling 37 tons of concrete at full speed ahead.
I know that all of you are secretly jealous!
For the record, we have 3 confirmed cases of this ridiculous piggy flu virus. My dear sweet Charlotte started things off, then Colby joined in the fun, and then Barrett jumped in as well.
So far, Savannah and I have remained immune. Everyone, please knock on wood!!
Anyway, poor Colby has definitely had the worst time of it. He was the zombie I mentioned earlier. Poor guy. You know Colby is feeling REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad when he can't stay awake during a Red Sox game, and when he doesn't show the slightest bit of rage or anger that the Red Sox totally blew it and got blanked by the Angels.
Other than the lovely sickness, we are still around and doing okay.
I will try to get the pictures from Disneyland posted soon, it seems that I am pretty busy with demanding patients around here for the next little while!
;o)

Oh man, I'm so sorry. You know what they say...rest. And seriously how are you going to manage that. Good luck, I hope you stay well.

YUCK! The swine flu? I am so sorry! I hope that you guys can get back to feeling better soon and that you and Savannah have remarkable immune systems and you never get it. I am very sorry! Please let me know if you guys need anything.

Yup. You described it. Much better than I could have. After a breathing treatment at the hospital yesterday and 3 other medications, (including one for pinkeye- how do you get pinkeye when you have the swine flu?) I'm finally starting to feel like a human being again. Hope your family is feeing better soon and that you and Savannah stay healthy! (And we're praying to the Tamiflu Gods that Max stays healthy too!)
