I'm sorry, what exactly do you mean?

I see 40 looks and no responses, so I must not be the only one understanding.

Bed works best, but you cant do bed with a trached kid!!

Lots of hot drinks and chicken soup.

Hope you feel better soon.

I haven't had the flu in ages (knock on wood) but I do swear by Zicam for colds. I know they have a flu one out too. Maybe that is worth a shot, the cold one works great.

Influenza, some people swear on crackers and some on 7up.


Looks like it's not the flu anyway, Doctor says most likely bronchitis. He's much better now and on antibiotics. (was to 103.8 temp and throwing up a bunch)

Sorry the post was so confusing...

Sarah,

Maybe you were delirious from the high temp? Hope you recover quickly!
