The Blog is on Sick Leave

The blog is officially on sick leave. Thurs-Fri posts on organization, well aren't going to happen. 2/3 of our family is struck down with the flu; it's Day 3. 1 of us hasn't had our flu shot this year due to all the other illnesses that Sept-Oct brought. So while we battle high fevers, chills, coughs, sore throats, laryngitis and a host of other nice ailments our blog will be recuperating as well. Our pediatrician's office was so packed that we spent more time on the phone with them first at 11:32pm and then again the next day at 3pm. I figured it's best not to show up at that sespool of sickness anyway. There is no point to seeing my doctor either. My immune system was down due to the prednisone, I didn't get the flu shot (and there are none available), and I held a toddler w/ flu for 24 hrs. It was really inevitable. I was ready for it. I even went grocery shopping on Thursday to prepare. Not sure what to think for next week. I plan to cancel school/work if there are still fevers. No point in pushing it with the holidays coming up. And it's the right thing to do. We are just hoping our other 1/3 doesn't come down with anything. Fingers Crossed {and as Scott would say "laces out!"}

Here is a link to a one page print out on the difference between the cold/flu/H1N1. Thanks Corrine!
