A couple schools closed on a Friday a couple weeks ago to disinfect, because so many kids were sick. One of the classes in my son's school had a whopping 6 kids show up one day, and one went home sick. Everytime I'm in that school, someone is in the health room vomiting. Ewwww.... Luckily everyone has been pretty healthy in my house (knock on wood), but I fear it's only a matter of time before 'it' or the strep that's going around invade my house.

Hey Gin, do you have a humidifier and decongestants going? It's gotta be rough not being able to take something most of us take for granted. I can't take decongestants, so I can sympathize a bit. Humidifiers, Vicks Vaporizor Plugins, and a saline nasal spray are good alternatives. (I can't stand the nasal sprays and found that Vick's also makes a nasal inhaler that you can use as needed that works wonders!!!)
