Flu Shots

I've never been a big believer in flu shots, perhaps because my kids have never had a true case of influenza...until now. Emily and Carter have the official, dreaded flu. They have been running 102 degree fevers on and off for five days and are just wiped out. My little Emily who can usually be found jumping on the couches and building pillow forts in my living room, hasn't moved off of the couch for three days. She is so worn down. My baby is miserable and just wants to be held and falls asleep in my arms (which is the one up side to the whole thing). It's sad to see them so sick and it's been a full week of fevers and sick kids at our house. Maybe the flu shot isn't such a bad idea after all. Maybe next year.

Oh...I'm so sorry! I had a flu shot this year and I haven't been sick once! I'm absolutely shocked, because they've never really worked for me, but I did hear that this year's shot was one of the best so far at actually working! Hope your little guys feel better soon!

I didn't know you guys were suffering over there too! Argh! What's up with this crazy season. I hope, hope, hope, that your kids don't graduate to the stomach flu - pretty nasty! (I'm not a huge believer in flu shots either, but for some reason we decided to get Landon a flu shot and he actually escaped the yuckiness all the rest of us went through this past week.) Hope you guys get feeling better!
