I will assuage my guilt at postponing my son’s birthday party by chanting “Infectious diseases do not make good party prizes.”
Current sick count:
1 case of pneumonia (Howard)
2 flu cases with chills, fever, and body aches (Kiki and Me)
1 sore throat (Gleek)
1 unsettled stomach (Link)
That’s 5 out of 6 people. Hopefully quarantine will prevent us from being Typoid Taylers. Also hopefully everyone will play nicely all day. I’m in the head cold with body aches category.
Edited to Add: Over night the sore throat manifested as stomach flu with attendant middle-of-the-night clean up. The unsettled stomach is now feeling fine.
Wow. I hope all of you are better soonest.
You’re not alone in that; my sister had to postpone her 12 yr old’s birthday for much the same reason. And while it seems like I haven’t had less than two down sick at any time this month, it hasn’t been more than four at a time. Like your family, one was pneumonia and that illness is a bitter bugger of a bear. Get well soon.
