flu and things

So Tino got sick while were in NYC, and had a bad cold. Had two beds in the room, and he couldn't sleep because he couldn't breathe, and snores a lot, of course. Sounded like he was drowning about half the night(s). Monday when we came home he said he had a bit of an earache. Very bad sign. And Phil got sick on Monday, too. Tuesday (maybe the 20th) went with Tino to the doctor, and of course both ears were infected. Got a Z-Pack (may have posted this already). Other stuff too. Phil got sicker, stayed home both Wednesday (missing both lab meeting AND seminar, which meets only once/week) and Thursday. Achy, feeling congested, coughing, fever, etc., but Tino got a bit better. Went to work two days.

Friday night Martin couldn't sleep, said he was "shivering". Fever Saturday and Sunday, left ear, the worst one, still felt "clogged". Achy, slept a lot, sounds bad. Went to doctor again today (Monday). He has swine flu, which means Phil has it, too, as they have same symptoms. Tino's ear infection not gone. On another antibiotic for ears, plus Tamiflu.

It's not quite as bad as when Sarah, Martin and then Phil got chicken pox in sequence when we were in York way back when, but it's approaching that. Lord, I HOPE I don't get the flu.
