sick...

Influenza A has struck the Hanson household, and struck it hard. We've been completely and positively unable to enjoy the nice weather and have spent the last 48 hours in the house, and and in pain.

Poor little Katherine came down with a fever that reached 104 last night and I was unable to get it to break. She took a total of 5 naps today, and during nap #3, I had to wake her up to take her to the doctor. She fell back asleep in the car, and I'm not even counting that as one of the "naps". Matt also got it bad. He spent all day Sunday in the basement and then slept until 11 today and spent the entire day on the couch.

I spent the day playing with Caleb and entertaining Andrew while Katherine and Matt tried to get better. As luck would have it, Caleb started getting the fever tonight right before bed... Thankfully, Dr. Jon put Katherine on Tamiflu and we also started Caleb on it, about 1 hour before his symptoms started. Hopefully his won't last long. UUUUGH.

So we started off spring break with a bang! Matt and Katherine are really sick, Caleb is well on his way, and Andrew and I holding our breath that we escape!

As a side note, I'm still working on Katherine's birthday pictures, but didn't get around to it today. I've had my hands pretty full!
