ER Visit for My Daughter

Normally, every day my daughter and I email each other and when I got nothing from her yesterday, I knew something was up. I called her and she sounded like she was at Death's Door. I told her to get her butt to the ER.
Now mind you, she had the FLU shot as it was a freebie at the IT company she works for. Plus with her being a member of BACA (Bikers Against Child Abuse), she had to be careful around the kids not to make them sick and vise-versa.
She called me after getting home from the ER and yup; she has the Flu, Bronchitis and all of the other lovely symptoms. Because she already had the Flu shot, all they could do for her was give her a shot in the butt of antibiotics.
Hopefully she'll feel better by Saturday considering it's her 48th birthday.

Thank you @Courage7 ; I'll pass it along to her. I hate to say it but I think those flu shots are more of a detriment than a good thing. I've never had one and never will and I've never had the flu.

I sure hope so @Kandae11 . This flu thing has been so scary; particularly for her age group and a little younger. I just hope she's got some of my immune system. I even hug people who have it. They're fine in a couple of days and I don't get sick.

@Kandae11 Me too. I can't even remember the last time that would have happened. I think I was 8 years old.

Thank you @amadeo . You would think I'd be the one more vulnerable considering I'm 66 wouldn't you?

I don't think she'll be doing any dancing though considering she fell down a flight of stairs yesterday going to get the mail @DianneN .

You got that right @Plethos . I'd hate to have to drive the 3 states to go kick her butt.

@1hopefulman I just talked to her and she is feeling a little better even though when she went to go get the mail last night, she fell down the apartment complex stairs. Fortunately only some bruises there.

Thank you @jstory07 . Her temp was up slightly last night. I told her if it hits 100, she needs to go back.

@nanette64 You are right, she must keep an eye on her temperature, it is important.

I talked to her last night @LadyDuck and she said her temp had gone up slightly. I told her it was extremely important that she keep an eye on that. Her normal temp is 98.4 and it was at 98.7. I said if it hits 100, she needs to go back.

Yep, the bad stuff is going on around here too. I stay at home these days. My late husband's daughter who comes to help me clean out my house called to say she was sick a week ago. Now she told me she is still sick and her fiance got sick too. They both still have fever and bad bronchitis. Hope your daughter feels mus better soon.

Oh dang, that's not good @RasmaSandra . And it is so easy for the Bronchitis to develop into Pneumonia. Thank you and I hope your daughter and fiance get better soon too.

She's as stubborn as I am about things, but I told her this was nothing to mess around with @Hannihar .
