The Flu!!!!!!!




Well a couple of weeks ago, on Sunday morning Justin woke up and said those famous words "I don't think I feel good" and BOOM!!!! The stomach flu!!!!!! He was down all day with it and Bradley and I stayed right away and I immediatley started washing everything, because Bradley will pick any infection up for sure!! Well about 6pm "Mom I don't feel very well" and away we went with Brad...... and it hit his poor little body brutally hard!!!! He just has absolutley no immune system. By about 9:30pm it was out of control and I took Brad to emergancy and Dr. Low started him on IV , gravol and something else to help with the nausea... by 11:00 they still couldn't get him to slow down, so they admitted him. So all night Sunday and by Monday they had the nausea under control but they wanted to keep on top of it and keep him hydrated so they kept him Monday and Tuesday. (Monday night in the Hospital, guess who else got the flu??? ME!!!!!!!! I felt like such a loser, but what do you do!!!! So I had to be on IV too!!! How embarrassing!!!!) So Tueday night we both got to go home.....But on the up side we are all better now and going for our flu shots this week! One wonderful thing came out of it though, we discovered Brad has some very awesome friends, He got letters, cards, candy grams, and a candy boquet. I swear half the junior high school signed one of the cards.... it was so awesome that he has friends that care for him so much!!!! Brad was a little embarrased to have the attention, but we just had to keep telling him that is what friends do for each other!!!!
