The flu has hit our house. First Kaleb and now Benjamin is sick. Kaleb seems to be doing a lot better but he has viral ulcers that have become infected so he is on antibiotics. Benjamin just started throwing up this morning after having a few bites of toast. He also has a fever and a cough.
Joe and Ben did get their flu shots yesterday after waiting in line for 5 1/2 hours most of the time they were supposed to be outside but the nice lady behind them held their place in line so they could go inside. We were all supposed to be there but because Kaleb had the flu we couldn't take him.
Our ward seems to be hit hard by the flu. I have called many families to cancel mom and tots playgroup and I think most of them had sick kids. I feel bad that Benjamin is sick for his first Halloween that he actually understands what is going on. Maybe we will dress him up and have him trick or treat the different rooms in the house.
Joe heard a statistic saying that 25% of the Alberta population will have become sick with the flu this fall. Well we have surpassed that statistic in our house so some strangers of Alberta family better be grateflu we have taken on this illness for them. lol.
I hope the rest of you are fairing better than us. Good luck fighting off the dreaded flu.
Much love, Kara
