Influenza

For a few days last week, Azer complained of a dry, raw feeling throat. We figured he might have caught a virus. On Christmas day, I was hit hard by what felt like the flu, and Azer started to feel awful. After going to the doctor and discovering I had the flu, I called the CF clinic to ask for guidance. We got Azer swabbed for a confirmation that he did indeed have the flu as well. He has been started on Tamiflu and increased treatments. He is feeling a lot better, but his lungs are full. We are all working hard to try to keep them clear. If anything, this has made me grateful for the years that the flu shot does work!
