Not Just Croup - The Flu Too :(

Good thing that Monday was President’s Day.  We were just about recovered from the early Sunday morning bout with croup by Sunday evening.  We all went to bed before 8 p.m. just to make sure.  Shortly after midnight, we were awakened by the awful sound of puking child (as much as the mess was a PITA, I’m really glad that we decided to have Mikaela sleep with us on Sunday night).  It was pretty impressive how quickly (and strongly) this flu blew through Mikaela.  The poor kid was throwing up all morning, but by late afternoon was doing fine holding down BRAT standards like a banana and toast.  With the Monday holiday, we rested up all day.  By bedtime, it was almost difficult to get her to sleep, because her energy had returned.  Luckily, she was ready and raring to get back to school on Tuesday.
