Tips for Dealing with the Flu

[Melissa Burnell]

Thanks for the tips….

We’ve been hit really hard this week. My 6 year old

daughter ate about 5 cheerios today which is a huge

breakthrough – since she hasn’t eaten since last

friday. she started with gastroenteritis (better

known as the stomach flu/bug) and then before she was

able to recover from that, she got hit with the flu.

she was literally hours away from going to the er.

the dr said if she didn’t show signs of improvement

today, we’d have to take her. fortunately, she’s

improved and her fever is gone. thank god.

i – on the other hand – am miserably sick….if only i

had koolaid….i do have one more bottle of gatorade

in the house, but i’m keeping it for my daughter to

continue to drink.
