I love that kind of cough medicine...LOLOL.. I do have to say though that every year I get a horrible nasty cough. One that lasts for weeks on end and every time I cough...sorry, but I pee. It was just horrible.

BUT....since I've stopped smoking...I haven't had that cough at all. I'm so glad I don't do that any more. I wish I would have quit a long time ago.

Now I only pee when I get a good laugh...LOLOL (or at a normal time)...lolol

Haley, I remember getting the flu when my daughter was a baby - I thought I would die and her dad was no help at all. Thank goodness, she didn't get it. One time when I was in my late 30's and she was about 13, we both got the flu together. All we could do was lay on the couch or chair or bed and look at each other. We were too sick to even help each other. Thankfully, my current husband (different from when she was a baby) helped us out as best he could, but he had to go to work everyday. It lasted 10 days, I thought we would NEVER get over it

I'm so sorry that Micah has been so sick. How old is he? I remember when my daughter was little and she had a high fever and I had to put her in the tub repeatedly. It was awful!

Janet - I'm an ex-smoker. I quit a little over 4 years ago (after 20 years of a pack a day). I can't even stand to be around other smokers now. NOBODY in my family smokes now, but Hubby and son dip Skoal.

Haley, so sorry you are going through this. So hope everyone is well very, very soon!!!! I remember our girls being sick like that when they were little. It was so scary and tiring. Take care of yourselves, and hopefully all will be much better soon. Don't worry about what you missed. Just let them know you had the flu. They should understand. If not, it's their problem. We do the best we can!!

Micah is 20 months old, he now started pulling on his ear this morning, going to try and get him to the doctors tonight if not were going to med express, i just hope to God he don't have an ear infection that's all i need.
My job is transfering me to ET next week, so its going to be tough, i have to work 10 hours now and only get paid for 8 this sucks!!!!

Yea but he got up crying this morning and he's tugging on his right ear, i'm taking him to the doctor's right after work and get his ears looked at, hopefully he don't have an ear infections.. oh that poor kid be sick for over a week now, when does it end....

Taking Micah to the doctor because of tugging at his ear is what I would do. I never let possible ear aches go or I'd be up in the night with a crying, hurting child. So definitely have him looked at.
