Hi, I'm back

[thiswillbe]

Well, back to work in the first time in 2+ weeks (vacation, then nasty flu + bronchitis + sinus infection), so I finally have easy access to a computer. How is everyone doing? I miss y'all!

[2brides]

Welcome back! sorry your whole family was sick. Hope everyone is on the mend!

[bluedaisyus]

I'm glad you did not die from your horrible illness. Welcome back!

Welcome back! Things have been crazy for me (work related) so I've mostly been lurking.

How's everyone feeling now?

We're all in some state of cold now - it's certainly better than flu/etc - but it always sucks to hae the whole family sick!

Thanks, everyone!!

Oh, yuck! Hope your family feels better soon!!

DS is pretty much OK. He finished his antibiotics (for the ear infection he got from having the flu) last night. DD is on the mend, even though the poor baby had to go to daycare much earlier in the course of her illness than DS did (I kept them both home with me when I was home sick last week, but DD wasn't really getting sick yet at that point). She still says her ear hurts a lot (she got a flu-induced ear infection also), despite being on both drops and oral antibiotics, so I think she may have to go back to the Dr.

I'm much better, but still so.freaking.exhausted and still not breathing very well. I went to the nurses' office at work earlier this week to try to lay down for a little bit during my lunch hour, and it turned into this whole big drama because the nurse decided I was severely dehydrated and she wanted to send me to the ER in an ambulance. I had to sign all these papers saying I was refusing medical treatment, and they still didn't let me leave until DW came and picked me up in a wheelchair and put me in the car (ostensibly to take me to the ER; in actuality we drove to the drugstore and bought me some gatorade and went back to work). The whole thing took nearly 2 hours and I STILL didn't get a nap in. So needless to say I am just toughing out the rest of the week at my desk. TGIF!!

OMG, that's awful!! I dont know how you guys are handling all of this, but i hope it passes soon and you all get a break!

Geez TWB, work nurse sounds just a little *too* helpful! Grab some Gatorade and saltines and I hope you all just spend the weekend relaxing and mending. If I was local, I'd come clean your house and cook some chicken noodle soup.
