It started Friday afternoon with my oldest, buy the evening my baby was sick too, in the morning is was me! We have been sooooo sick. Temps, that just won't let up, vomiting,sore throat , coughing. The only good news is that I bet I have lost 5 pounds. Worst part is , Hubby has to go to work at midnight so I am on my own.

Hope you all feel much better soon! Hope your -5 pounds stays off - mine never does =)

Be sure to change out everyone's toothbrush when you're fever-free. That is the one thing people seem to forget, and it helps to keep relapses at bay.

Hope you're all feeling better soon.

I hope you all recover quickly

in my area of florida we had the highest rated area for flu. I just went through this my whole family 2weeks ago. I got hit the hardest and thought I was going to die. the cough will linger for weeks and I have asthma so I felt worse. the doctor gave me tamiflu with an antibiotic and I started to feel the difference right away you have to take it within 12 to 48 hours of onset though. hope you feel better soon it takes along time I'm sorry to say

I feel for you. My 10 year old has been with a fever since Friday evening. Just when you think it is going to break, it goes up even higher. The cough sounds so painful. Me or hubby don't have it--yet. Hope your family feels better.

I hope everyone feels better soon. Great tip on the toothbrushes and make sure everyone is washing their hands all the time!

I hope you all feel better soon. I came home from work yesterday with the chills. Just could not warm up. I hope its not a sign of things to come. Seems like people all around us are getting the flu.
