UPDATE re: Sniffles, Coughs, and Wheezes!

For those of you who read the RN's suggestion re: the solution to the sniffles being passed around which led to ILC sounding like a TB ward, I took her suggestion and stayed home tonight with my VERY ill husband and relapsing son! Mark is running a fever, has the chills, and sounds horrible. Justin was doing better until about 8 PM tonight when he started coughing and "wheezing". At one point, he was crying because he felt like he couldn't breathe. Please don't tell anyone but I gave him a short puff of my albuterol inhaler and he is sleeping peacefully now in the recliner in my front room so that he is propped up and can breathe easier.

Tomorrow, I will call the Dr. and ask for another round of antibiotics for myself since my cough is growing worse at the end of this first regimen of Z-pac. It is awful to take meds and then relapse!!!!! WAAAAHHHH....I am soooooo tired of being sick! Oops, sorry for whining!

I covet your prayers for Mark, Justin and myself, as well as Marissa and Jessica who are just now starting the coughing. Maybe I will just tell the Dr. to give ALL 5 of us a Z-pac. That should help kick this flu bug (and bronchitis) to the curb! God bless and keep each of you from this horrible flu bug and remember to get your flu shots next year AND to stay home when you are sick instead of sharing your illness with your church family! LOL

I will sign off now, go take another hit of Albuterol and crawl into bed.
Good night!
