We are all ill

The last week we have all been sick. It started about 10 days ago. Neil's ear was red and had a little bit of fever. It never got serious, only once or twice a day we would notice his ear to be red. Then later he caught cold. He had runny nose, and fever. The fever was not too high, but he was extremely cranky. He had trouble swallowing. He threw up quite a few times, especially after eating. He had trouble breathing and would wake up during the night. Lisa's time was mostly spent cleaning after him, comforting him, and staying up at night.
To add to the problems, Lisa caught flu really badly. Friday evening she was okay, felt a little tired. But within two hours, she had high fever and so much fatigue that she could barely move. The whole of Saturday and Sunday she was bedridden. I too caught the bug on Saturday, but not so severely.
Now Neil is almost alright, just a little bit of cough. Lisa is recovering, and besides cough that makes her voice croak, otherwise she is okay. I seem to have spared the severity. Just mild symptoms of tiredness and sore throat.
But when all three of us were not feeling well, it felt really bad. Thankfully we seem to be getting out of it now.
