coughs + fever + runny nose =


Influenza A...That's what Sam has caught this time. Even after we got the flu shot, he still managed to be a lucky one to receive this nasty bug.



Off to the doctor we went today. All the symptoms he had = influenza A. Dr Paley told us that if he keeps getting worse, she will order us a chest x-ray tomorrow at Children's Hospital. Let's PRAY that he sleeps better tonight, and gets his energy back. We don't want to have to go through all the testing. But we also don't want him to have any other infection. We need Sam to sleep today and tonight to get this bug GONE. Poor little guy can't even keep his eyes open during the day, but the minute he lays down, he starts coughing and screaming. Dr Paley told me that she was hoping to find an ear infection, and not influenza, but she says he will get better in about a week.



Sick Sam = one sleepy sad sad boy = No DAYCARE TOMORROW:)
