I guess the bugs going around, anyone here sick?

Is anyone else sick?

 

My daughter was sick for the past 2 days (throwing up, fever, chills). She is just feeling better.. I called my best friend, and she said shes sick too. Now I got a note from my oldest granddaughter, shes sick too (same as my daughter) I hope they get better soon, and that my daughters entire family doesn't get it (2 more kids and husband). We have plans to go to the movies New Years Day (but not if someones sick!).. And I hope we don't get it, we were together Christmas "Eve" although they werent sick that day!

 

PS) Sometimes we get sick after Christmas DAY when we go to the in laws, because our nieces kids are young and are usually sick with colds or something. This year they weren't. (and IMO if they were they should stay home OR inform us, but they don't, so each year I hope and pray no ones sick there and wash my hands more than usual!..lol).

NO, we had flu shots, and they seem to be working

Re: I guess the bugs going around, anyone here sick?

 My husband and I both woke up with colds on Christmas.  We were miserable.  Sorry to say I couldn't wait for the day to be over.  My son hasn't moved since Monday night.  He has the flu, but at least he smiled at me today so hopefully his worst is over.  Other son and wife who were here on Christmas are both sick.  Some people who we were with on Christmas Eve are sick.  

 

A friend of mine wanted to stop over last night with her infant.  I had to tell her she better not.  She didn't, but today they are both sick.  Crazy.

The stomach bug is making the rounds in Michigan. Parents and kids alike. Aches, vomiting and the runs. Lasts for about 2 days. Then the next one gets it. Pretty nasty.

@Shorty2U  with so many germs about, the movies might not be the safest place to go. Especially if you are going to see something that is family oriented. It will most likely be crowded, and germs incubate fast in a warm crowded space

Well thats good I hope you dont get sick! They do not have the flu, they have a virus. My husband gets the flu shot yearly (because he is asthmatic) and he had the flu bad at the end of last Winter. He had to use his electric inhaler machine (nebulizer?). They were going to hospitalize him but they didnt. It was scary. I dont get the flu shot because a former egg allergy but my family and my husbands family get it (his sister is an RN), and some in his family still get the flu once in a while. His dad had it bad 2 years ago. I asked the Dr about it when my husband was sick last Winter and they said it doesnt always work.

(thread title)

 

Other than my still trying to heal butt injury, I am doing ok. Nope, not sick, or is my wife. Opps! Wife has been gone since last Friday so if sick, she hasn't told my when we've talked.

There has been something going around in our area.  Respiratory issues with cough, etc.  We celebrated Christmas with husband's family (47 people) and 12 of us are now sick with various related symptoms.  DH & I are still feeling pretty crappy but think we're thru the worst of it.  At least I hope we are.

Influenza or flu is a virus.
