This is more of a vent but Seth has had the flu all week. He started to feel bad over the weekend and we took him in Tuesday and they swabbed him and he was postitive for the flu. The kicker is he did have the vaccine in October. His ped. said the vaccine is generally only effective for three months and we have a late flu season this year. She did say though that without the shot, he would have had a worse case. He is feeling lots better now but this is the third time he has been sick this year! Definitely keep your little ones hands washed! The ped. said we were at an epidemic level here in GA.

Owen had the stomach flu this week and Griffin has a green nose, but no other symptoms, but it’s been with him for about 2 1/2 weeks, so I think I’m going to take him in tomorrow to check his ears. Last time he had a cold and I let it go on and on and when I took him in he had double ear infection and Pneumonia! I WANT SUMMER BACK!!

Hope Seth feels better soon! It’s just no fun with a sick little one!!

Sorry Seth is sick. Cooper has been congested as well, but we figured out that it was luckly just allergies…. still no fun when you use a paci to sleep at night and your nose is clogged. I wish they made the flu shot last longer. You want to get is as soon as you can, but if you wait then you may be better if the season is late… you just never know. I hope he feels better soon and says healthy the rest of the winter.
