Do I have any options?

[RweTHEREyet]

Our check-in date is 12-21-03. We have a 2 bedroom at OKW. I have come down with the flu and have given it to DH. If I am not dramatically better by tomorrow, I know I need to cancel. Do I have any options in saving these Points?

If you cancel now, those points would go into 'holding' and can only be used to make a reservation 60 days ahead, or You can use the 'once in a life time' banking exception or call MS, with all the flu going around, I would hope they would make an exception and let you bank, I'm sure the wait lists are full for that time of the year.
Good luck, and get well soon.

I'm sorry you both are under the weather. I hope you feel better soon.

So sorry to hear you are ill. Hope you and your DH are both better soon!

How long does that dratted flu last, anyway? 12/21 is still more than a week away - don't you think you will be OK by then? Sure hope so!

Best wishes -

The flu runs its course in about 7 days. You should be feeling better just in time to leave. Just be sure and get plenty of rest and fluids. Overdoing things could result in secondary bronchitis or pneumonia infection. I would say your only option is to have fun!

Since canceling now or later does not change how the points will go into holding, I would wait until the day before to make that decision. Hope you are feeling better soon. If your DH gets it, have him go in to the Dr. right away and get the antiviral medication. It does lessen the severety and duration of the flu, but it must be started in the first 48 hours of illness.

FWIW...DD9 had it last week...came down with it Monday night (fever). Took her to the doctor Wednesday AM (only because my neighbor started talking about complications and got me all paranoid. She got her first anti-flu meds that morning (doctor says they're not worth it if you've been sick longer than 48 hours) and was back to normal by Saturday (actually, I was threatening to take her to school by Friday afternoon! )

I hope you both feel better soon and don't have to cancel.
