Which Flu is it?

Let's start with the fact that Ed never gets sick! So when my phone rang at 8am friday morning, and Ed said he was on his way home because he was sick, I knew it wasn't going to be good. And quite honestly, he didn't seem that bad when he got home, no fever yet, just hot and cold with body aches! But by the late afternoon he had a low grade fever and was writhing around on the couch! Saturday morning, his fever was up to 102 degrees, and he had vomitted twice. So I guess we were dealing with some form of the flu. So I called the doctor and got a prescription for Tamiflu for him. Not that it cures all things, but it would shorten the illness by a day or two, according to the MD. Surprisingly, Ed is feeling better today! Good thing, because I had to work last night and he was the sole caregiver for the day. I am sure if he was still very sick, Nana and Papa would have helped watch Rowan, but he did fine. I guess a day full of football can make any man feel better!
This picture was from Friday afternoon before he started to really feel like junk, everyone wanted to cuddle with germ fested daddy!
