How sick has your family been this year?

[Brian]

My son caught it bad again this last weekend, and we had to take him into the hospital. Apparently he caught influenza B only 8 weeks after having influenza A, and he was struggling pretty bad. He's home tonight and more or less just "normal" sick but he was over 20 sick days out of school already before this week. Wondering if the rest of the family is going to get sick <again> now. Everybody we know has been sick over and over this year, it's been nuts. Even when everyone in the house is doing well, we're not connecting as often with friends and family because someone in their family is always sick.

I cannot wait for spring to come and burn out all this bad junk.

No regular Flu here thankfully.

Stomach flu a couple weeks back. Son must have brought it home, we both had it within minutes of each other. Knocks the heck out of ya. 6 hours of bathroom activities and 12 hours sleeping after that. Then just being a couch potato for another day. Sucked! But was over and gone pretty quick.

Yea it's been a rough winter.
Just when you think your over it, here it comes around again.
Seems like every other week the kids come home with something. I cant afford to miss work so I take some aspirin and cold meds and trudge through it.
Good old obamacare working- betcha the illegals get top notch treatment.....
Seems like since they started bussing them in everyone has been catching something or other. But that cant happen. I'm sure they inoculated all of them before bussing them in, after all it's for the children.....

We are super blessed to be crazy healthy. I don't know why but my daughter is never sick, like years since she's had to visit doc. If it hadn't been for my hand I wouldn't have set foot in dr office all year.

Im just glad my 1500 per month in Kaiser premiums helps out those less fortunate.

Yes, all of our kids shared both flu's within a month or so. Sucks

Family has been down with the flu earlier this year. It was so bad I started feeling sick and thought I was going to get the flu for the first time in my life; then it just passed. They are both sick again right now and the same thing happened. I was feeling horrible last night, fevery and exhausted. I slept in this morning and woke up feeling great. Even worked out tonight. I've been pretty fortunate that I only get under the weather while they are sick for a day or two and right when it feels like it's going to get bad, it just goes away.

My little man who turns 2 this month is sick right now! and going to the Dr.'s office is like talking to a wall. They never do anything so i keep pumping him full of natural remedies.. seems to work most of the time but whatver he has now is almost as bad as the RSV he had last year! wife never gets sick... i usually get sick right after the little guy... Vitamins and natural stuff seem to be keeping me healthy as of late and eating better. Nothing worse than a sick kid! I hate it!

I was sick twice this year. First time was some kind of super intestinal hyper virus. Never had anything like it before in my entire life. I did not know if I should be setting on the toilet or talking to Earl. Not good to set there launching pressurized projectiles at all functioning exits at the same time. The second issue this year was more like an extra bad cold. I usually never get anything more than the sniffles. So I agree some wicked stuff is out there this year.

Sick, no one. Buried 3 family members within a month's time frame. Topping off today, it's been 12 years since our niece was murdered. Cherish every day like tomorrow may not come.

Prayers and positive thoughts for your loved ones.
