"Christmas Flu" Topic

We had 7 people for Christmas. So far 5 have been confirmed as coming down with stomach flu )really gastroenteritis).
It took a ER trip for my wife – 3 bags of IV and various other IV meds. My son was first with a fairly brutal dose, but he is young and fit and after a couple of days has his appetite back.
I had a middle case- dry heaves and the other syptoms, plus chills and feeling like I was beaten by a baseball bat. I came down yesterday afternoon while at the ER. My son brought me home just in time. I am back onto regular food, but nibbling only.
I now have a fridge full of great food that looks more like a chore than opportunity. Including a full standing rib roast that did not even get roasted.

Man, that sucks. I really feel for you, being sick over Christmas, and with stomach problems no less is terrible.

My wife and I had swine flu over Christmas in 2009, which was quite awful, but neither of us ended up in the hospital.

Good luck to you and your family, and I hope you all get your appetite back before that rib roast goes to waste!

cook it and freeze it, you'll be hungary after.

Bad news!!! The girls and I have all had really bad colds over the last few days but nothing to compare to your woes!!! Hope it starts looking up soon!!

Hope everyone gets well soon. I've had flu and cold
for the 5 says leading to Christmas day, only now
feel like venturing out.

I was out yesterday with it.
