Knocked on our butts!
March 28, 2008 | Updates
Quick update here to let you know we’re still alive. Ben got the flu 2 weeks ago. He got sick on Thursday and had to come home from school, missed Friday, recooperated all weekend and then missed the bus home from school on Monday because he was in the bathroom throwing up. Who has the flu for 5 days? Apparently we do! Tom got it that same Monday and was sick for nearly 7 days. I got it this past Tuesday and I’m still flat in bed. Weston woke up with it in the middle of last night. Well, that’s 4 down and 3 to go. Not a good thing, though, because I certainly don’t want to experience this with Nathan OR Samuel - especially Samuel. A week of no eating could really do his skinny little body harm. We’re all doing our best to stay far away from him. But the sad thing is that he and Nathan are already suffering from head colds. Samuel has been unhappy for most of the week and sounds stuffed up. I guess there’s a chance he already has what we have, but I doubt it. It doesn’t take much to get him to throw up. Worst of all, Kaylee came down with it yesterday. So, I’m sure we won’t be seeing her for several days. You should see my house! On second thought, no you shouldn’t. I would be completely embarrassed. It’s amazing what a mess a 2-year-old can make when you aren’t up to following him around and cleaning up after him or quick enough to pull everything he grabs out of his hands! (Can you say cereal spilled all over the floor, DVD’s scattered around the house, cracker crumbs everywhere, shoes everywhere (since he loves trying on everyone elses shoes), drawers open all over the place, toys galore, cushions off all the couches? Well, at least he’s having a good time!)
So, that’s the short of it. I haven’t been this sick in years and I don’t think I’ve EVER had the flu last for more than 48 hours. Watch out if you haven’t had this wonderful bug. It will knock you flat on your butt for a week! Here’s to praying we all get better soon…
Love,
The Jewkes

I hope everyone gets back to their selves quickly & that Samuel doesn’t get it. Corb had influenza B, it knocked him out but only for a few days though. High fever, stuffy nose, cough & sneezing. No throwing up thankfully.
Thinking of you always
