Yep, amidst our unusually gorgeous and sunny autumn, the viruses have started. We have 5 kids here with terrible colds, and one with a sore throat, so probably headed into the same.
Is it just in our house, or is the line blurring between cold and flu? I thought colds were supposed to be fairly benign, it's-annoying-but-we-can-still-navigate-the-day type of illnesses. Even though they don't have the fevers that occur with flu, the kids have complained of nausea, light-headedness, chills, and body aches, in addition to the classic sore throat, headache, congestion, and coughing. Princess Artiste had to stay home from school a day this week because of it... She wasn't too happy about that upon just returning to school after her 2 1/2 weeks of concussion care.
At least we have beautiful scenery out the windows.
I hope you and yours are staying healthy during this back-to-school, fall season!
