    Doc put me out all week. I just don't have any energy....doesn't help that the prednisone keeps me up at night. It was 4am the first night and 6:30am this morning before I could get any sleep. Didn't take any today so hopefully I'll sleep well tonight.

    There is nothing they can do for kids with the flu. They can take tamiflu in the first 24 hours of symptoms to combat the flu but most kids don't recognize symptoms fast enough.

    Tamiflu is best as a preventative anyway. We got flu shots again this year and my wife still got this strain of the flu. I took Tamiflu when she was diagnosed and I never got it.

    One of the twins just had a positive swab. So - that's 5 tamiflu prescriptions and keeping fingers crossed.

    Poor kid feels like shit. never seen him this bummed out.

    I started with the stomach part this morning. I think I've slept a total of 18 hours on and off. Running a temp over 100. If thing don't change by the morning, I'm going to head in to the doctor.
