A little cough but not too bad. Here's hoping you are on the other side by now. I had the same thing set in Thursday night (delirium, hallucinations, chills, no sleep) and just now feeling better.

This crud is everywhere in the country. I had it last year and have stayed away from large groups and crowds this winter, so get the rest you need, listen to your body and let your intuition be your guide through this. There are three mates down with it now and feel just as you. Keep the baby safe. You're all in my prayers. B,

Keep the baby safe.

You think I'm off of babe duties? I only wish. Xy was still making me perform fatherly duties despite my protests. Finally I had to say I was worried I'd infect the poor child. Xy seems to think she's immune because of some magic goodness in the breast milk. Furthermore, don't shed any tears for Xy having to play nursemaid to me. Her idea of "tender loving care" is to poke me with a stick occasionally to make sure I'm still alive!!! Hey Andrea, nice try, but I’ll take ALL your sympathy, thank you very much.

Now you're down and unable to help with the babe. 2. She has to take care of the babe AND you. 3. She has to take care of the babe, and you, and deal with her Mom in her space, all while trying to breast feed around the clock. Yowza! Tell her I said to stay strong, but do not take an E-mergency! I took one once when I was breast feeding and Abe had some SERIOUS diaper rash for days. ooops. Hope you are better soon, PJ is down with the same symptoms.

You don't sound like you are able to be much help to XY, so why not let "Mom" be a help to both of you. Hope you start feeling better soon.
