The things I have learned - in the last 7 days.....

1) that one person can start the flu bug in your family and no one else can get it until about 3 days later

2) that once one other person gets it EVERYONE else in the family will get it all within about 5 hours of each other?

3) that it will also circle back and get the person who started it AGAIN....

4) that it is very hard to care for two sick kids when you and your DH are both spending most of your time with your head in the toilet

5) that you can speak to 3 nurses and 3 different peds and get different advice from ALL of them....

6) and that the 24 hour part of the flu bug really means 24 hours a day for one person or another in your family for anywhere from 7-10 days

7) and FINALLY - while the stocket market is in the toilet stock in Lysol has risen by at least 75% - I have gone through 4 cans of Lysol wipes and 2 cans of Lysol spray

How long does it take for pipes to freeze cause at this point I am thinking of just leaving my house and leaving all the windows open to air out the place

UGGGGHHHHH

At least you've found some humor in it all.
Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

luvmykids replied: Ooooooooooohhhhh I"m so sorry for you guys I hope it passes soon

lovemy2 replied: I think and I say think with extreme caution that we are on the other side now - however, both sets of neighbors that were here on Sunday to watch football are all in the middle of it too.....pretty scary - it wiped out 7 people in a matter of 48 hours.......

But the one and only GOOD thing about it all - I lost 7 lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the hugs

coasterqueen replied: I feel for you.

We had a similar thing with a cold virus. DH had it for a couple of days and then all of a sudden the girls and I have it at the same time.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: Ahh Christine, I'm so sorry. It sucks to be sick and have to try and take care of the kids too, plus a DH. There is never a time to recover yourself. Hope you all get better SOON!
