It's....it's.....it's..... the FLU!!

Yup, this vaccinated family got the flu.  I tried so hard to avoid it this season but we caught it.  Thank goodness for the flu shot because our symptoms were very mild.  Unfortunately, baby Joseph was too young for the shot so we got him started on medication at the very first signs so we actually came out of it pretty unscathed.  The only people who didn't get it was Daddy and Evelyn....

Scarlet was the first one to get sick...

Doesn't this look like a kid who has the flu??  The flu shot works wonders!  She had mild symptoms for 6 days before I finally took her to the doctor!!  She was sick but doing so well, just not really improving.  I couldn't believe it!  She got started on medication and was better in less than 48hrs.
Poor girl needed her blankie at the doctor's office

Joseph got hit second with the flu.  No shot for this little guy but I started him on medication at the first teeny sign of sickness so he bounced back quickly.  He was sick for about 36hrs

Lorelai was sent home from school the day after Joseph got sick.  When kids are ill, it's a movie kind of day.  Evelyn benefits even though she was never sick.  I put a sheet on the couch and told Evelyn she wasn't allowed on the "sick couch".
