Do You Have Your Flu Hat?

Because....if you have the flu....and you don't have your flu hat.....well, you need to get one.

Is it wrong that while my sweet child was laying on the couch.....with a high temperature and a dizzy head....I was taking his picture? I hope not. You see...I only went into the other room for a few minutes. That is all the time that G needed to make his super duper....gonna make my boy feel better....hat.

I came out of the other room and took one look.....then another look. What is that upon Sam's head? I call that a bag full of love....G style. Plus, oh I could just kiss and squeeze and hug that little boy....oh wait...that's just what I did.

Just so you know...the hat began to melt and soon needed to be removed. Plus, our very wise friend, know-er of all nurse-y stuff, Gill knocked some sense into us let us know that the ice would only cool his skin and not cool his core. Or, something like that.....all I heard was .....take the ice bag off of his head.

The Tamiflu seems to be helping. Sam slept through the night....woke and threw up....and has been feeling better and better since. Ross now has his own script for Tamiflu. We are in quarantine.

Poor guy! This flu stuff really stinks! My kids haven't had it yet, but my stepdaughter has. I keep lathering everyone in hand sanitizer! I still got a cold though! Makes me think that stuff really doesn't work.

I think it looks kinda cool - if he didn't have the flu. Poor Sam! I hope he continues to improve.

Poor little sweetie. I pray he is feeling better. ((((hugs)))))

I came over to say I've left an award for you on my last post. No pressure. I usually feel obligated to do these things, but trust me -- YOU ARE NOT.

Love!

Oh wow! he looks like my youngest did last week. I think his hat is cute...I think I saw one similar to that at my dad's church...(just playing) prayers for a speedy recovery!

Carla said...

If any of you are reading this...I just talked to G-man and he said that Mimi is in bed with a fever. Ross was not feeling well last night but he is up and running around. These guys need our prayers, so let's all be praying.

Thanks!

Awwwww, poor sweet boy!

Hey, whatever works! And whatever makes 'em feel better. If it works for them, it works for me!

No, you're not bad for taking his picture. =0)

Oh, poor baby! They are giving out H1N1 vaccines at Kaishon's school next week and I am nervous about letting him get it. I don't know why though.
