This morning, my son and I both seemed warm and I was sure we were coming down with it, but so far we are both doing fine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96836 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:14:50 +0000 velvetychocolate 96836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - sorry to hear that you have it too bella. </p> <p>Just wanted to say that the flu will clear up, pretty fast. The only reason mine dragged on so long is that I got strep throat which wasn't completely cleared up with the first round of antibiotics they gave me. </p> <p>I got the throat problem at the very tail end of the flu - the flu was almost over by that point. So, in total - the flu will last maybe a week at most. Get some good movies from Netflix and stay home to recuperate. Or - you can do what I did - a whole lot of online window shopping. Somehow I ended up with three pairs of boots, and some new shoes in there. Oh, and a dress too - that I still have to take back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96835 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:08:42 +0000 bella 96835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you! the swine flu has been wrecking havoc at my university and I finally got it. Hubby and I have both been sick for a few days now and I barely left the couch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96833 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:00:55 +0000 velvetychocolate 96833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also - regarding the the title of your post - </p> <p>What I wore yesterday? Faded old black yoga pants, black turtleneck sweater, blue velour hoodie on top of that (chills), ugly red and white Christmas slippers, and then a too-big fleece jacket on top of all that. </p> <p>Go ahead - laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96830 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:58:05 +0000 velvetychocolate 96830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really sorry to hear this Khris. I got the flu starting on August 19th...and then a subsequent throat infection. Got that all cleared up with some antibiotics...but then my husband got the throat infection a week later and was put on antibiotics himself. Then, I got it back again! (also another week later - so I'm saying I got the throat infection back two weeks after I got it cleared up the first time - ridiculous). I've been sick for the past four days, hence my not posting around here. Three days into the second round of antibiotics and I'm starting to feel better again. </p> <p>Anyway - just wanted to suggest keeping a sharp eye on things when your daughter gets better from the flu part. I got better, and then got worse - which was an indicator of a subsequent bacterial infection. </p> <p>This was my first flu ever - and apparently the flu can sometimes mean bacterial infections afterwards. The flu apparently does something that breaks down your normal defenses to bacterial stuff. </p> <p>Meanwhile, when I went to the doctor on day six of my flu (feeling much, much worse) I wasn't even aware that I had a fever. I'd check it occasionally, and didn't see a fever. Well, at the doctor's I did have a fever - so I think that the fever can come and go - it's sort of an intermittent thing. I also didn't know that you could get a fever a couple of weeks afterwards, out of the blue - so keep checking for a few weeks afterwards, just in case. </p> <p>Anyway - in terms of any advice - all I can suggest is that you won't feel like cooking much, so when you do - cook up a lot of food at once, so you have stuff on hand that's easy-peasy. If you're going to make something, make lots. Then you won't have to again for a little while. Advil was a great help for me, in terms of managing the body aches and stuff. Plus, I had no idea that Advil would help a sore throat, but it does - much better than any throat lozenge or cough syrup. </p> <p>Also - a mug of Earl Grey would always make me feel better, and so did plain ordinary canned soup. </p> <p>Hang in there - and please get better soon! Sorry to hear about the ER thing, that must have been scary. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96810 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:37:19 +0000 medusa 96810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Khris, that sounds hard! It can be so scary when young kids are very sick. I wish you all the best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96801 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:13:31 +0000 Inge 96801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been a really rough week for you Khris:-((( I'm so sorry. But relieved to hear her temperature is coming down. Please try to get some rest yourself this weekend. I'm sending get better vibes for the three of you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96794 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:07:25 +0000 Anonymous 96794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh I'm so sorry! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96792 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:05:19 +0000 Boof 96792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor Chewy family! Hope you all can rest and get better! Take it easy this weekend! :o) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-wore-today-5#post-96789 Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:02:44 +0000 chewyspaghetti 96789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pajamas again :(</p> <p>Dd's cold progressed to a pretty bad flu yesterday. I couldn't get her fever down from 103. She was lethargic, not eating, and moaning in her sleep. We took her to the ER last night. They said it was an upper respiratory infection, and the cold med that we had been giving her did not have enough Tylenol to treat the fever. It's almost 11 am, and she is still asleep. She doesn't seem as warm, and she is no longer moaning. I think that my son and I are getting it now. I'm not surprised since she spent all of her awake time the past few days sitting in my lap and coughing in my face. The ER doc said to expect it to last a week, and dd has been sick since Tuesday. It looks like we are in for another week of it.<br /> I know that this is going around, so I hope everyone else out there stays well. Wash your hands and don't touch your face! </p>
