Shoo Flu

This story begins on Monday when Lucy and Walter both woke up with a little cough. Since Lucy's cough often turns into wheezing and labored breathing and also because I'm more than a little paranoid about sending her to school with any hint of an asthma attack brewing, I gave her a breathing treatment and sent her off to school. When I picked her up she seemed totally fine.The voice in my head was screaming ("you are seriously over reacting and you just gave a 4 year old steroids for no reason."). The week went on, aside from the small morning cough all seemed ok. Until yesterday. Lucy woke up with more than a little cough and 2 bright spots on her cheeks. Not good. But, because I was trying hard not to be paranoid and because I REALLY thought it was just a cold, I sent her to Christie's in the ,morning while I went to work. She and Walter hung out in the bat cave with the babies. Last night she woke up at 3 am with 102..we went to the Dr. today, she got a strep test and a flu test, the flu test was positive. I feel awful about exposing the babies. I forgot to ask Chrisite if the got the vaccine. Do they give those regularly to babies? UGH, so I guess I'm playing a waiting game to see if they will get it or not. We'll keep you posted. (no pun intended.)
