We're still chugging along here. Tom went to the doctor Monday afternoon who proclaimed him to have the flu, but not badly enough to warrant drugs. He was sent on his way with advice to sleep, drink fluids, and stay at home until Thursday. He was also given a doctor's note for work. :) Tom already had Monday off, so he'll only be away from the office for 2 days.
I was feeling suspiciously good yesterday, so I tried to get things done around the house. Today showed me the folly of such behavior. However, we're doing okay as long as we keep up with Delsym, ibuprofen and/or Tylenol.
Amelia is the hardest to keep on an even keel. Today, Tom took her outside with Katie (who continues to be unaffected by the flu) to test the new swingset. (It's their joint birthday present.) Amelia got a bit too excited, started coughing, and got sick. :( At this point, I hope she is well enough to make it to preschool on Friday. Most of her preschool class has/had the flu. I've worked it out with her teacher to reschedule her school "birthday party" for Friday. I even procured a cupcake carrier for the event.
(I feel very bourgeoisie about the cupcake carrier. It's such a unitasker. However, I figure I've got about a decade of cupcakes for school ahead of me, so it makes sense to have something to tote them in. Tom said he could rig something up out of cardboard, but I quickly put the kibosh on that as we'd get punked by the other 'burban moms in the carpool lane.
