Don't Get the Flu Too

>As I mentioned last week, both my kids were home sick. Symptoms came and went and came back worse for over ten days. They were mostly tired, with high fevers, headache, not eating, and some coughing. The doctors are calling this the “fever virus”. At church on Sunday, a mom said their family had just gone through the same sickness and the kids had missed a whole week of school. Everyone in their family had the flu vaccine and this seemed like the flu, so it wasn’t working.

This morning New4’s Doreen Gentzler reports on MSNBC that the flu vaccine this year does not include this strain of virus. It is the flu and it’s definitely going around Rockville. No one is safe!

Everybody knows the advice:

• Keep washing those hands with soap and water.
• Limit contact with people who are sick.
• Stay home when you have symptoms.
• Keep yourself healthy by eating right, exercising, and getting plenty of rest.

Everything we are supposed to be doing anyway, right?
