So the Newman family survived the flu. It started last week Thursday when Travis complained that he just wasn’t right. Then Blake started having intestinal problems, but I just chocked it up to teething, until…
Sunday -
Holy Cow!!! Brook and I both got sick within minutes of each other. I had problems keeping anything down and Brook was all upper-respiratory. We got tested the next day and you can imagine my lack of shock when we found out we had the flu…
And even though we didn’t get tested for H1N1, the doctor was fairly confident that it could very well be that strain. So, we loaded up on medication, Gatorade and Ramen and we stayed in all this last week recovering.
Brook Trying to Eat Ramen
Brook thought it was awesome that Mommy would let her eat Ramen for breakfast…hey, I figure anything in her tummy was good during this time.
Blake had the hardest time getting back to health…it makes sense seeing that he is just starting to develop an immune system. Really the hardest part was tricking the kids into taking their medication, getting Blake to drink fluids so he wouldn’t get dehydrated and taking care of the kids when I was sick myself.
But, Travis was a saint and helped out when I couldn’t get my head off the pillow and once we found out Blake developed an ear infection and he got some anti-biotics…everything started to get better.
Brook and I were on Tamiflu and that fixed us right up and luckily Travis didn’t get hit too hard, so his recovery was swift.
I do have to show you the medication that got us through this time though, it was hilarious!
All the Medication the Newman's Were Taking
I can now say we all survived the “scary” flu and came out healthy on the other side.
