Thanks Bernard. It seems as if the Tamiflu lessened the severity of the flu. The boys started taking Tamiflu early on and are doing better than the girl, who wasn't on Tamiflu. Something to think about for those out there with young kids or kids with diabetes who get hit with this nasty flu.

Thank you all so much! Last night was really frightening. I mean, really frightening. Still early yet, but tonight seems better. The boys are coughing less and have lower fevers and are sleeping peacefully at the moment. The girl is another story. This has hit her the hardest. Fever keeps creeping up to 104 now on day 4. Oh, and now Susanne has it. Ugh!
P-A-R-T-Y. I greatly appreciate your thoughts and prayers. We're hanging in there.
