Sickness

Well, it's a half hour till Owens school program is supposed to start and he is home in bed napping.  I am so sad that he can't go and even more sad I don't get to see him up there.  I was really looking forward to my last kindergarten Christmas program and seeing him shine!
Owen has been home since last Wednesday afternoon when he came home early with a cough and not feeling well. Since then he has had the cough plus a fever, vomiting and lots of tv time.  It has been a long week with him sick.  I feel so  bad for him and it's so sad to see him suffering so.  We made a trip into urgent care on Sunday only to b told it was a cold.  By Monday the vomiting and fever set in along with him being extremely exhausted. We went in today and doc said it is influenza.  She advised us to keep him home for the rest of the week, get lots of rest and fluids. We need to watch his cough making sure it doesn't get worse because this flu has been leading to pneumonia.  Doc said he should b good by the weekend as long as he rests, etc.  All I can pray for now is that no one else comes down with this!  I am still on the mend from my up and down illness since before December.
Just looking forward to a happy and healthy holiday!
