Cold and Flu

Well, it has hit! Both my girls have been sick for the last week and a half. First, Vanessa was out of school all last week with fever, cough, congestion, and just feeling plain yucky. The doctor thought for sure she had the flu but the test came back negative. She did say there are some new strains that aren't picking up on the test so still thought she had the flu or viral infection. She was litteraly sick for 7 days. She gets better, we go out for our anniversary....then what happens? Lauren starts running a fever Sunday night. And of course when I took her to the doctor Monday...same as Vanessa. Negative flu test. She has been out of school all this week. And have I mentioned that I haven't been able to work since the Friday before Valentine's Day? So for almost 2 weeks now I have given meds, taken temps, and traveled back and forth to the doctor. Don't get me wrong, I want to be there for my kids when they are sick. We all know they always want mommy. BUT, not for 2 weeks. I have never seen them sick for this long. So needless to say, the last few days I have been disinfecting my house from top to bottom. I clean everything with bleach. I have sprayed every door knob, light switch, remote, and anything else they touch with lysol. Vanessa came home from school today and the first thing I made her do was wash her hands. Which is something that should be done all the time with all the germs that are in the schools. I'm thankful I work for such understanding people. Otherwise I would probably be fired by now. Hopefully this is it! No one else will be infected!
