FLU Shots

MONDAY- Busted in the pantry (not sick!!)









Before drugs












Two empty bottles of Motrin






TODAY!!!


Next year everyone will get their flu shots- why??? because it struck our home this week. Hadlee got sick on Saturday with a high fever but was better on Sunday. I didn't think it was that bad of a deal until I woke on Tuesday feeling like I was in a car accident and every part of my body ached. I kept telling the kids, "Mommy is sick" and they were so sweet covering me with blankets, bringing me drinks and food from their kitchen.

Hays woke me up in the middle of the night on Tuesday. I gave him Motrin because he felt a little hot but I still didn't think much of it. Wednesday morning I kept him drugged because a happy Hays is much better than a sick Hays. Then I started thinking that maybe Hays could have the flu because Hadlee and Harper had one flu shot and Hays never got his first and Harper and Hadlee never got their second one. (We went back to the doctor in Jan and they were out and told us the flu was over!) Wednesday night Harper started running fever and threw up once in the middle of the night and then Thursday morning. She's definitely worse off than Hadlee but much better than Hays.

I know I'm rambling- partly because this week has been a blur. I'm only surviving because Rosemary has been here since Tuesday night. I know I couldn't have done it without her!!! She's also helped me successfully potty train Harper during this whole experience. I'll post more on that this weekend.
