Sox... sorry to hear this stuff is going through your family too. DH is a good patient, but I have to watch him closely for dehydration. He falls asleep and won't wake up to drink anything. I just hope we don't get sick at the same time.

Kelly, making that move would be difficult, but if you can use that extra money each month to build an emergency fund, it just might be worth the hassle. The biggest thing is finding a safe, convenient and comfortable living space for your needs.

DS is still struggling with fever and now coughing. Motrin, plenty of fluids and a vaporizer are helping. He is bored with TV and his eyes hurt too much for computer use or reading. Sad thing is tomorrow is his 14th birthday... he's getting a computer game but he is too sick to enjoy it.
