The Flu 2009

The flu was unavoidable for the Miller Family this year. Not sure if it was the Swine flu or just the seasonal flu, but whatever it was it was not fun. It all started one Fri. night when Gracie woke up crying with a high fever. By morning Hunter too had the high fever...and then progressed from there. Poor little Gracie had every symptom you could possibly have and a high fever that did not break for days. By the end of the weekend Joe was sick too.
We were trapped in the house for about 5 days and I was left to take care of them all. We slept...woke up...tried to get the little ones to eat...cleaned up...took a nap...woke up...lunch...clean up...bath...bed. Lots of snuggling, runny noses, trips to the bathroom to hold Gracie's hair while she vomited and lets not forget all the medicine. The flu was not cheap either...probably cost us about $200+ but we were just glad to get through it. Thankfully, we had our parents to bring us homemade chicken soup (the highlight of the weekend said Joe) and delicious apple strudle and more medicine. Lets hope that is the end of our flu experience for this year and next!!!

Some moments were better than others...when the kids felt all right they had a tea party in bed. How cute! Love the little snuggle bugs, and glad they are finally recovering!
