Well, K.C. couldn't avoid the flu bug that was floating around our house. He started not feeling good today. We made it to the party but he wasn't feeling his best. After we got home and I was putting the girls to bed, he got sick. He was very impressed with the volume that came out and really wanted to tell me in great detail just how much there was. (sigh) Boys! He's got the chills and has diarrhea too so he's getting it on both ends like Quinn.
I feel much better - just tired and weak still. My stomach feels a little queasy once in awhile, usually after I eat, but so far so good at keeping everything down.
Sydney seems like she is fine. Or at least she did until after her party. She has diarrhea now so we'll keep an eye on that.
Quinn is still having diarrhea issues and is thirsty all the time. That's a little concerning to me. I give her all the water she wants and try to give her rehydrate but I think it's too sweet for her at this point what with all the vomiting she did. Poor kid! We're keeping an eye on her too but, for the most part, she acts like nothing is wrong!
I'm just happy that we all didn't get it at the same time like last year! That was miserable!
When I logged in I saw a news article about a peanut butter recall due to salmonella. I started to freak out but after reading the article it doesn't appear that that is what our problem is. I think it's just the flu.
Before last year I couldn't even tell you when the last time was I got the flu. Since moving here, I've had it every year. What is up with that? Is it because it's more humid here? The girls have both had their flu shots so why are they getting it? K.C. has been and still is on tons of antibiotics so why is he getting it? I don't know but if this is what we have to look forward to every year, I may just change my mind about not wanting to move back to the dryer climate!
That's about it for now. I'm trying to get pictures together to upload from Sydney's birthday so stay tuned for those!

Flu is a virus--antibiotics won't help. The flu shot only helps with the different strains of flu viruses that they've chosen to be part of that year's shot. You can still get different strains of the flu even if you get the shot because not all strains are part of the shot. That is why I never get the shot and I don't have my kids get the shot either. I think it is good for people who are weak or are immune compromised because it helps them fight off the most dangerous strains of the virus. But if you are healthy and try to live a healthy lifestyle that is your best bet to fight any virus.
Try homeopathic medication. It is easy to find as health food stores carry it as well as Whole Foods and stores like that plus I've found it at the Vitamin Shoppe. It is easy to diagnose yourself, choose the correct med for your symptoms, and you can mix and match them without fear of any drug interaction. Most of the homeopathic stuff I buy is Boiron brand but there are other reputable brands out there. It is easy to give to kids because they are pellets that dissolve in the mouth usually. Give it a try!
Good points! I'm not going to get the girls flu shots anymore. I'll try the homeopathic route. And lots and lots of hand washing!
