This…was a week. Way more of a week than I wanted, that’s for sure. Long story short: the flu struck. First my nephew got what his parents thought was a cold (cough but no fever or other symptoms). Then my son got it. He got a fever Christmas Day. Then the dominoes fell in the forms of my wife, my mom, me and my dad (in this order).
The day after Christmas my nephew was taken to urgent care and got the influenza type A diagnosis so we knew what we were dealing with. We all then got on tamiflu and have been slowly getting better. This is the first day I’ve felt coherent enough to write in awhile.
Thankfully our daughter is still fine - she’s been staying at my brother’s house because the only sick one there is patient 0. We have missed having her around this week but she’s having tons of fun with her cousins (my brother and his wife have 5 kids).
I think the worst outcome of it all is that I won’t be able to see my grandfather. He recently turned 90, has a big surgery on Friday and in general is struggling so was looking forward to spending a day with him (he lives 2 hours from my parents).
