Just taking care of sick kids here

Generally my family is pretty healthy and all seem to have great immune systems that quickly get rid of any bacteria or viruses that do come our way. However my three kids seem to be having a tough time these last few days.It started Thursday evening when Robby got a cough. It was a bad sounding cough but none the less just a cough. I gave him some Robitussin and we went on our way. The next day Robby also had a sore throat so we added Tylenol cough and sore throat and started his customary steroid syrup that he takes with a cold to keep him out of the Hospital . This seems to be doing the trick so I thought we were out of the woods. The Next day however Cindy and Michael both spiked fevers of one hundred and three plus sore throats and a cough. Again Tylenol cold and sore throat seemed to be helping. Yesterday however, Cindy and Michael both switched to flu symptoms. I am not a doctor but I can't imagine just one virus causing all of this havoc on these kids. Thankfully they have been off school since last Friday due to temps in the single digits. It is terrible that they are sick when they could enjoy days off school but at least they aren't falling behind. As for now I am just dispensing over the counter remedies while pushing the home made chicken soup in various varieties ( chicken noodle, chicken with dumplings, chicken with wild grain and white rice ) and praying that we are soon through this chapter of our lives
