I have a nursing degree and my husband has a medical degree. So,why do I get so stressed when my kids are sick? The only thing that has kept me sane this week has been my daily workouts at the gym. My cardio workout was excellent this week, more than I've done since my 10K this summer. I needed to release stress, and anxiety. And release I did, it felt so good! I've also been doing a lot of weight training, and oh my do I feel better. I think there is something to do with release of endorphins and weight lifting.
My kids have been very sick this week, my second oldest Tyler has missed five days of school. It seems to always hit him the hardest and he is always out the longest. He is one tough guy! The above picture is what my kitchen counter looks like when the kids are sick. Nyquil works great for their coughs-and knocks them out too. For Tyler, I am using buckwheat honey and he seems to really like that. My husband says, it's going to be a long, busy winter for the flu. So, what are your flu remedies? And many prayers to all of you who have sick kids!!!!

Get Well Soon! So sorry your kids are sick. For me, it's stressful to monitor the fevers all night, so I have my kids sleep in my room on the floor by me. We love all the same things that you have on your counter. =) I really do like Delsym for a cough. Good luck!
Ahhh, all the cold medicine... Looks like my counter the last couple weeks. I come home from Cali. sick and it took me a good week to get over it. Isaac missed the week before our vacation because he was sick, Anna got a fever while we were on vacation...so, we've all been taking our turn getting sick. Not fun for anyone!
There is a medicine that I've really like, musinex (I'm not sure that is how you spell it)
I think that stuff works pretty good.
Well, hope ya'll start feeling better.
