Thanksgiving and swine flu...

Well, it's been a crazy few weeks. We spent most of the month of November just doing normal things until the week of Thanksgiving. The Saturday before, Chris came down with what we THOUGHT was a cold. It stuck around, and by Tuesday, his throat was SO sore, he could barely swallow. So, we went to the urgent care clinic here because our family doc was already on vacation. Turns out, Chris had swine flu and had to be quarantined. Well, that pretty much killed our plans for going to Boise. Sigh. So instead, we made our own food. Did a turkey and stuffing, corn, rolls, etc. Everything you should have on Thanksgiving.
It turned out really well, the food was great. Unfortunately, I was not able to help cook, as Braxton got a fever on Wednesday night and it didn't break until way early Friday morning. So all day on Thursday he was tired, listless and cranky. He didn't get sick though because we started dosing him with propolis and garlic right away. He didn't like it much, but I figure making him hate me for taking medicine is better than letting him get sick. Thankfully Chris was better by Saturday, and then I got a sore throat. ONLY that though. No other symptoms. And now it's gone. It was mostly gone by Monday, I only coughed when I laughed.
We're all feeling better now and we're going on with normal life. Getting ready for Braxton's first birthday and for Christmas.
That's all for now, hope everyone is well. Love to all!

  1. Oh my word, I can't believe Chris got the Swine Flu! We're glad that you guys are all okay though now! Happy belated Turkey Day and an early Merry Christmas to you guys. It's been too long since we've seen each other, so give me a call and we'll do a playdate sometime!
