I am so sorry. Ugh.

I know you didn't ask for advice, and maybe you've already been told this, but antibiotics can cause yeast infections which is probably why Olive has the diaper rash. Go to a health food store (if you're not snowed in) and get some acidopholis. You can put it in her bottle and it should clear her diaper rash up. Meg had to do that this last week and literally within hours of drinking the stuff her bum looked better. They even have yummy flavors like strawberry/apple.

I hope everyone gets well soon.

i'm always telling people i wish i got the swine flu... so i could prove to the town criers of the world that it's the flu... and even though some people die... most don't... but they get over it... and life moves on. besides, four days off work sounds so nice right now (as i sit in my office at 9 pm).

but, i know, I KNOW... i know! i shouldn't want it. i don't want it. you just made me quit wanting it.

... but four days off work still sounds so good...

LOL, that is sad, and very funny. I'm glad you are all recovering. Sounds like the crazy life. I hope you keep recovering. . .

yuck that sucks, you poor little family! We are getting the vaccine over here in Canada after weeks of wrestling with should i shouldn't i?? Not really a fan of respiratory illness since I need to breath to live! 'No offense' to Aubry, but it is a lot worse than 'the flu'. I was on the 'suck it up' train for a while, but have changed my tune and for good reasons.
