The Invasion

So, we've been invaded by Type A Flu! Not exactly how we wanted to welcome Spring. This is actually the first real sickness in our home in a long time. For that, I'm so thankful! Natalie has the worst case and she is so pitiful!
Evan tested negative, but the doctor felt like he had the beginnings of it. He's home today from school and entertaining himself with Tiger Woods PGA Tour.  He's feeling pretty good now so he'll be going back to school tomorrow!
Both of them got Tamiflu. Evan got the pill form and poor Natalie was stuck with the liquid, which tastes pretty gross! So far, she's spit out half a dose, hid when it was time for another dose, and this morning she vomitted a dose. She's not even wanted to take bubble gum flavored Ibuprofen! Needless to say, I'm not sure I will survive "twice a day for 5 days" with her!
Cuddled up together watching a movie. Notice the shine around Natalie's eyes? She has all sorts of "gooey" in her eyes the last 2 days. Her left eye was even swollen shut late Saturday night! She's wiped them so much, I had to put vaseline on her eyelids and under her eyes to help with the soreness. Poor baby!
She has managed to entertain herself with her bath toys today! We just filled up the sink and let her play:)
So sad to see my girl like this!
Hopefully tomorrow will be better. Until then, we'll read and play and color and sleep and watch movies and take yucky medicine:)
