Both Jack and I had it a few weeks ago too...I feel for you!!!
If their doc did not already prescribe Tamiflu for you and T, call and get a prescription. Jack's doctor did NOT do that, and I came down with it 4 days later. But then my doc put Eric on Tamiflu as a preventive measure, and he did not get it.
B, we caught Jack's early...he complained of a sore throat on a Wed. night and then spiked a 104 fever on Thurs. morning, so I took him to the dr. right away. That was right before MLK weekend...he was doing somewhat better by Sat., but then didn't have to go back to school until Tuesday. I did notice that he needed more sleep than usual for a good week or so.
And then I got it on MLK day...I missed the WHOLE week of work. Three days out, I felt a bit better, so I started to do some things around the house...big mistake. The next morning, it felt like a truck had rolled over me. And even into the next week, I felt really tired.
Sorry to share that with you...there have been so many people out with the flu here that at least folks seem to be pretty understanding about it.

It does indeed stink.
I was running an infirmary for 2 solid weeks. The fevers simply would not go away, and the coughs were awful.
Don't be in a rush to get them back to school. Just let them be miserable (and you can be miserable too -- it's allowed).

BIG hugs!!!
Take care of all of you!! Sorry they're so sick.
So sorry! I hope that everyone recovers soon!
Good advice.
I will call my doctor today Kelly. How long did the flu last for your house?
Alicia, I understand letting them take their time to get better, but I hate missing sooooo much work!
