So Aimee was sick in bed with influenza the last few days. Not fun at all. The first two days were mostly high fevers (104's), runny nose, cough and lots of trouble breathing especially when she was sleeping. We quarantined her to Dad and Mom's room so we could get her better and not spread the fun to the rest of the fam.
She felt a little better after her bath, though her fever was still in the 103's but that didn't stop her from smiling and being her sweet self.
A few minutes later she was coloring a picture to give to Jocelyn.
The next day though she had viral pink eye in both eyes. This picture doesn't show how swollen and puffy her face was and how bad her eyes looked. I mean really bad. They really looked like she'd been in a fight! Even today they look like they'd been bruised. Poor girl!
But alas, rest is the magic cure, oh and Tamiflu, and she is definately on the mend. We've washed, washed, and re washed lots of laundry to keep things clean and so far Jocey and Benny seem to be fine. Let's hope our little visitor is on the way out!

Oh poor Aimee, those eyes...they just make me sad. I'm glad she is feeling better and we'll pray everyone else is spared, especially you and Ben.
I sympathize with what your going through. Dani was sick 2 months ago. Started as Influenza A, treated as Swine with Tamaflu, then turned into strep then pnemonia. I have never seen her that sick before. Sounds like you got a handle on it and your mothering skills are right on top. Love ya hon...by the way, just found out Brenna is having another girl!
Oh, I am so sorry you guys have been sick. Aimee just looks so sad and so sick. I really hope she is doing better fast so we can get together to play!
She looks so miserable....I am sorry that she is so sick. Thanks for your comments on our blog. I appreciate your concern. Thanks again.
Have you found out whether or not Joc has it yet? Last I heard you suspected she might...?
I'm looking forward to seeing Dale tomorrow but dreading that it will probably be our last time :(
love ya
Cass
How is it that your kids still look super cute even when they're sick?! I'm so glad to see Baby Ben is doing so well (even though he's really not a baby any more!) Hope all else is well and the flu didn't hit the rest of the family too hard!
