So we were pretty worried today regarding Oldest brother, back to the ER for a fever increasing. The results? The Flu. Grandma Darcie is down, Aunt Valerie, and Oldest Brother all came down with the flu. Grandpa Pat is unsure if his muscle aches are also due to the flu or if it's because of his back that he stepped wrong and then kinda fell from chair height as the chair broke from under him. 😓

According to the children's ER and the adult ER, our household and apparently Half of Georgia is sick. Please stay safe, wash your hands, and distance yourselves! 

The littles are feeling a bit better- as they have increasingly bickered today with time outs and solo times for all, broken limbs and all. We did settle in for a group painting session after dinner, with many ducks painted by Sister.

Only time and Tamiflu as a  preventative will see if all of us will go through it or if some will remain unscathed and able to care/lift these kiddos.
