Tess in the Burbs Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I got sick right after Thanksgiving. One day of fever, tons of coughing and eventually Dr said Bronchitis. I am on week 3 and still coughing a lot. My dd got sick a week ago but hers has been high fever for 6 days and coughing. Now she's got other stomach issues. Ds started coughing yesterday. Like me, he's just all cough, no fever. He feels 'crappy' he said. Considering how it's already going on 3 weeks for me, and how sick dd has been, I figure ds will have at least 2 weeks...his asthma will make this all much worse than dd. So Dd has missed a week of gymanstics practice, will miss her meet on Sunday. We cancelled our Great Wolf Lodge trip for SUnday/Monday. And with Ds sick he still won't be able to do the scout holiday party. UGH! We haven't done school all month. This virus is nasty! I figure Dh will get sick by next week and our Christmas will be miserable. It's Ds birthday on Christmas. I have what, 10 days?, to get him better before his birthday? I just want to run away to an island and drink fruity drinks and be WELL! done venting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stayseeliz Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm so so sorry! I totally understand! We have the flu and we're missing all kinds of fun stuff right now. I'm just hoping we're well by the time we leave in 8 days. Hope you feel better soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 We've had a horrible run too. I sympathize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdalley Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 We've all been hit by something worse than a cold but not as bad as the flu. Low grade fever on and off, sore throats, congestion that will. not. go. away. Oldest is on day 10 of it. Middle on day 7. Youngest and I had it worst and we're on Day 5 and still trying to breath and stop coughing. The other two still have coughs. According to our Pediatrician's nurse it's going around and it's not strep - just a very ugly cold. I wish it would go away. So much I had planned to do this past week did not happen at all. :( :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer in MI Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm so sorry you're sick! Can you make plans to go somewhere or do something in January? We are just starting in on this. I'm on day 4 of a nasty sinus, nose, throat, cough thing. Ds is on day 7. He had a fever and I never did. Dh has it too. Waiting for the other three to get it.
