So Many People are Sick!

I've had one set of my grandkids sick last week for at least 7 days and missing school with the flu. Monday they went back to school. Tuesday my grandson woke up feeling horrible and my daughter felt his head and found him pretty warm. She took his temperature and sure enough, he had fever. So he stayed home from school Tuesday and woke up feeling fine and dandy Wednesday and wanted to go back to school. Luckily, he was fine. However, my other daughter called yesterday to tell me she was on her way to pick up my granddaughter from school. She was complaining of a sore throat. She made her a doctor appointment for Wednesday afternoon and she was diagnosed with Fifth Disease. Luckily, she was already passed the contagious part. This is a viral thing spread by coughing and sneezing, so she picked it up at school more than likely. I had never heard of this illness until then. It sounds like it is pretty common though. She developed the rash on her cheeks and her throat feels better today, but she is still hoarse. This weather going back and forth isn't helping anyone get well either. Do you have a virus, the flu, or a cold that is just lingering on? Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain
