sick

Jane was really sick for three days this week. Now Henry and Jon have it. The pediatrician told us Jane's was just a bad cold, but I actually think it's a pretty classic case of THE FLU.

So far Elliot and I have escaped, but I am sure we'll get it next - probably just when it's time for me to go back to work Monday. My boss, who is generally a great guy, has been rather irritated lately with people taking sick leave, so I really don't need to miss work this week. And of course I hope Elliot is spared because I hate to see the kids feel that bad. Poor Henry has hardly moved all day and even take-out Chinese for supper couldn't tempt him to eat more than a few bites.

I hate to be so disagreeable, but I have a pretty classic case of a cold, not the flu (which I keep wanting to type as the "flue").

If someone is really sick for only 3 days, I'd doubt it was flu - unless it's a pretty mild case.

I've had influenza twice in my adult life; both times I was flat on my back for a full week, and didn't feel completely well for about 6 weeks.

Flu is "on your back" sick for 14 days or so, and I hope that is not the case for your family.
