This weekend I discovered I had what I think was the flu. I had the swore itchy throat, the fever and migraine head ache, oh and stuff nose. But now the worse is finally over and I am getting better. Now I just have a burny nose and slight head head but I am up and working and getting on with it.
The hardest part was being concerned about what effect this would have on the baby and what medications I could or couldn't take to help pass the time. The hardest part was because it was the weekend and we couldn't just call our doctors office. In the end I took Robitussin for the cold part and Tylenol for the fever. Small doses, not the full strength so recovery was a little longer. But lots of fluids and rest helped also. As far as I know baby and I are fine ... and so far Chris has not gotten sick ... YEAH!!!
Peace Out,
