So the latest at our house: we were at the doctor yesterday (I was really hoping for strep since he could have the medication & be healthy). Strep was negative, then the doctor said she wanted to test him for flu.

came back as positive for Influenza A! It had been more than the 48 hour time frame, so too late for Tamiflu... Just treat the symptoms and pray! She said it usually lasts 5-7 days & it started Fri night, so we "should" be okay. Right now he's still miserable - poor Noah!
Then she said she was worried about the rest of the family getting it. She gave a prescription to fill for Tamiflu and give Hannah at the first sign of a fever. And she recommended I call my dr. to get the Tamiflu for me & Pat to take it prophylactically (ok for adults to do, not kids). So we did that.
When Hannah got off the bus after school, she said her back hurt her.

. Turned out she had a temp of 103! Then I fell asleep for a little while (I have a sinus infection & started antibiotics for that in the afternoon). When I woke up, I had a fever!
So Hannah & I are hanging in there, taking our Tamiflu. Noah seems a little better this morning, but still miserable. And Pat is afraid to touch anything! He's taking the Tamiflu too. Praying that it all falls into place & we're better in enough time! And don't know how I'm going to get everything done!
