Oh I so hope so! I got a cold Christmas eve and have been fighting it ever since. Its seems its more of a respitory thing going around. Well since last friday I have been to the docs 3 times, and spent the day at the hospital yesterday. I got plurisy (?) in one of my lungs and its was extremely painful, and I couldn't catch my breath either.

I am on my 3rd anitibiotic, have had steriod shots, prescribtion of Predisone and other assorted things. I still don't have a voice. Its the worst thing I think I have ever gotten. My hubby and kids tho got the stomache flu. At least theirs were 48 hours type of thing...

Thats so cute of your son hanging his head lol. Until lately both boys would say their nose was melting when they would get a cold or runny nose. I always thought that was so cute, and really sounded like more sense instead of it running lol

Evelyn, misery loves company! We've also had the virus from hell, but we got ours the week of Christmas. For us, the fever and really gross stuff only lasted about 10 days, but the respiratory coughing grossness has lingered and lingered. AAAAARRGGGH!!!! Today is the first day since 12/24 that I've even felt near to good, and I am still having disgusting coughing fits.

DH was spared but DS and I suffered just like you and your boys.

I hope you all feel better soon. It's aweful. BTW, we also had the experience with the expensive instant temple thermometer that never seems to register over 97 degrees! Frustrating!

Hang in there. I found Mucinex works pretty well for me. Unfortunately, DS has a reaction to every over the counter drug known to man!
