The Plague

For the last two months our area has been besieged by a massive flu outbreak. The symptoms are always the same: a high fever 102-103° sustained, vomiting, and dizziness. The symptoms last for a full week. This is no 24 hour bug. We had over 200 middle school students out one day in January. The other days weren’t much better 100+ kids out each day. I was short 14 students in a class of 33 one day.
Heather has apparently contracted this brutal disease today. She was up at 2:00am with a 102° fever, which is more like 103° for her because she is normal at 97°. We rescheduled Josh’s Birthday last week because he was vomiting. Of course it was rescheduled for today, and now Heather is sick. Ought to be fun.
