Crud

So I know my weekend was too good to be true because apparently, it was just a build up to a really bad viral infection which hit me hard Tuesday night and took most of my family with it. DH was feeling bad last week but we chalked it up to allergies. Sunday night, my throat was hurting a little but I chalked it up to spending quality time near a friend's cat on Sunday. By Tuesday afternoon, the sore throat was accompanied by chills and I got home to realize that E was feeling cruddy too. He and I ended up staying home Wednesday and Thursday to re coop. DH was on the road in Louisiana and basically spent most of his time in the hotel room sleeping. Nothing worse than being sick in a hotel room. E seems to be back to his old self. DH and I are back at work today but both would rather be sleeping I'm sure. So far, A has avoided this but since my it hit my brother last night and he drove her to school the past few mornings - I have a feeling she'll get it too. We are dosing her w/ vitamins, OJ and rest to try to keep her healthy. She'd be devastated to miss school (I'm serious) so a sick day is not an option for her. We are also hoping my mom and grandmother do not get it either. It's amazing how one virus can take out so many. :-(
