Carnival & Beck's Bounty Flu Update

The "Spring is Coming Edition" of the Charlotte Mason Blog Carnival is up at Heart of Harmony.

And here at Beck's Bounty we are still fighting the Plague (aka the FLU) .... high high 102-104 fevers, deep coughing, scratchy throat, chest and head congestion, sneezing, ear aches, and general misery are the symptoms. Our family started getting sick LAST Sunday (2/24), and we are 1 1/2 weeks into it and are still fighting these dread germs. Cherub 1 was the first to get it, and is now over it except a slight cough .... Cherub 2 got it second, but is still very ill (going to see the doctor tomorrow - we suspect a secondary infection that was a complication of the original Flu) .... Cherub 3, Cherub 4, Cherub 5, and Cherub 6 got it early last week and are now on-the-mend (24 fever free hours - HOORAY !) .... MomToCherubs is officially on-the-mend (24 fever-free hours - YEAH !!) .... and DadToCherubs just started showing symptoms yesterday.

WEDNESDAY UPDATE (3/5): Everyone is almost back to normal (no fevers or symptoms except a lingering cough) ... except DadToCherubs and Cherub 2. DadToCherubs just started with his Flu-turn on Sunday, so he is having his worst day so far (and he even called in sick to work last night - for the first time in 4 years !). We suspected Cherub 2 had a secondary infection, so she went to the doctor's this morning. She was diagnosed with a sinus infection and an infection in her right ear, so she will be on antibiotics for the next 10days. It appears that the PLAGUE is finally beginning to pass, and that perhaps we will all be healthy again in a few more days. HOORAY !!
