As many times as Red has been sick over the winter, I was only struck by a mild cold one time, which was over tech week. But THIS weekend, I started feeling funny with a very high fever. Tuesday morning I woke up to a 105+ degree fever and a diagnosis of Type A flu. (I even has a flu shot! But sometimes it doesn’t cover all strains of Type A). I have never really had the flu before and buddy I was not expecting it to hit so hard, or for so long. I took every chance I could to isolate myself from Red and Hubs, not prepping any food, or touching anyone. (This photo was pre-flu – from when Red had his ear infection!)
Hubs has been incredible this week – not only pulling his share of the duties, but all of mine as well. I am one lucky mama. I’m feeling much better now that I’m done with my course of Tamiflu, and for an extra break, Hubs took Red to an indoor play place to blow off some cabin fever. Little by little, I’m back in the swing!
I hope you’re feeling better now! I just had a stomach flu, it should be against the rules for the mom to get sick!!
Amen to that – especially THAT sick. I am only now getting back to it all! Hope you’re feeling better, too!
Oh yikes! The flu is terrible. I had it two years ago and it took me out for a while, too. And I had a flu shot as well.
