Wednesday: English starts feeling a little sick, coming down with a cold?
Saturday: English still feels lousy. Ash has a pretty hot little head - a temperature of 103° - and is diagnosed with type A influenza. i get the chills and start feeling feverish. dreaded repetitive fever dreams plague the night.
Sunday: all three of us slog around the house moaning, coughing, whimpering, etc. (Ash's 17.5 pounds of sweet baby pie is so much heavier when i'm sick).
Monday: sore throat, chills, stuffy nose, coughing up junk... and it's 80° outside! more moping.
today: i'm feeling pretty much the same as yesterday. poor Ash has a mean cough (although it compels her to make the cutest little monster noises). English is on the mend.
sad, sad. i know. this is the first time we've all been sick at the same time and it's made for a few very rough days. my heart goes out to all the moms everywhere who have dealt with such miserable times. at least now i feel good enough to blog about my woes... that's got to count for something. and Ash has found a new place for hanging out: the computer desk.

Oh, I have experienced that, as it is the one time I feel like being a mom sucks.
Oh man, I'm so sorry. Basil had the flu last week (and it was pretty horrible) but fortunately we didn't catch it! (maybe it's due to the fact that we became OCD about washing our hands!) Anyway, my family wasn't so lucky, 3 of them caught it. I hope you guys are feeling better!
Feel better soon! It is awful when everyone is sick at once.
Poor little Ash! That's a hot fever. And I'm glad you guys are on the mend too. Influenza just when it's getting warm? That's no good.
Lousy influenza type a! Glad you're on the mend and that spring is coming so that you can go outside more and say "see you later viri!"
That is so not fun to be sickies all at the same time. I guess on one hand you can empathize and commiserate, but on the other, you're all just miserable. :( I'm glad you're doing better.
