Influenza

What an awful bug. EO had to go get Steph yesterday. She is so sick, and EO stopped by the hospital, and I called and talked to a doctor besides. She did get on some medication, and as we are pretty sure EO will get it too, the doc called in a prescription for more besides. So far Lauren is holding her own, although I still think she might have a mild case of mono. What a bunch of sickies. Colton is doing better, but he still isn't aloud to be in public for one more day. Steph though... boy, being out in the weather from the car accident I'm sure didn't help. Oh and about that. She has numbness and tingling in both her arms. One arm more than the other. Plus her shoulder is hurting from the seat belt and her knee is hurting her too. She didn't feel any pain at the time, but by the time she got to the house (a few hours later) she started having pain. So as soon as she can go into public and feels well enough, she is going to have to go into the chiropractor. I thought Colton was in rough shape when he first got sick... Steph ... whoa, scary not good.
EO had gone and picked up a prescription for Steph last night and then he stayed up with her for awhile. Then once she was sleeping, he went to bed (which was around 2am.) I sure hope he doesn't get sick too, but at least we can get meds if he does get sick.
I am dealing with a flare up, it isn't a digestive flare up so at least I don't have to deal with that for now... so it is no biggie considering what everyone else is going through right now. The online program didn't want to work today for the meeting. so I called my mom, and Lauren gave me speakers and we all sat at the table and listened to the meeting. Well, Steph tried, but she just couldn't manage being up at all. So we sat together coughing, sneezing and hacking as we listened to the meeting. It was sure wonderful. FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS!!!
Colton is in a serious need of a haircut. He says every time he gets sick, his hair grows like crazy. Plus he can't get this hair to not move forward (like he used to have it do) and he wants it to go back again, and he says the only way that will happen is if he shaves it off. So Lauren is giving him a hair cut. She cut it down, and he said it is funny that it is the length of his 3 day growth on his face. At least it will have grown back by the time of the assembly. well, he will most likely need a hair cut by the time of the assembly.
