You opened the door and ...

In flue Enza. So after having the girls home Thursday afternoon and Friday, and everyone was healthy on Saturday morning we thought we were in the clear. Cassidy went to a birthday party Saturday, and I feel horrible b/c she started coughing on the way back. Eek! At least it's not the dreaded "Norwwalk virus". No, that would be Keira who vomitted last night. Maybe it was just her coughing too hard, which we really believed until she vomitted again this morning. You are contagious for 3 days after onset of symptoms, so now we are in a waiting game to see if anyone else gets it here.

Worst Ever Winter

Just when I thought the Winter Worst-ever was over. This came from the school, along with a phone call to pick my kids up in an hour.
"Dear Parents,
After much deliberation about the health and welfare of our community, and consultation with the Public Health Department, the administration has made the decision to close school completely on Friday, February 9th, so that we can continue to disinfect the entire school and to prevent the spread of further illness. This decision is made out of concern for the health and well-being of our students, families and staff. We have had several illnesses in the community, however, the Norwalk Virus is of concern. If anyone in your family does have any of the symptoms below please let us know, as Public Health has asked for us to track it."

*sigh* fingers crossed that my kids are healthy.
