It just keeps coming

It seems as though our healthy is infested with germs. Various kinds, but I can't seem to keep a healthy house! It all began back on Jan. 29th, when my husband and I both had cases of the stomach flu (or the beginning of Fifth Disease). We were both down all day Monday, and Tuesday we were both home as well. That Wednesday was when I noticed the lymph nodes, and Thursday the facial rash began, followed by the body rash the next day. I was tired and worn out over the weekend, then that Tuesday the joint aches from Fifth Disease began. Wednesday HT was home sick with a very bad cold and cough, and he vomited that evening so he was home again Thursday (and my wonderful husband was home that day). We were good Friday, and then Saturday evening JR began running a fever of 101.8. He ran a fever through early afternoon Sunday, and had a sore throat (but not an awful one, we assumed sinus drainage) through Monday afternoon. Tuesday evening HT's infection begins which we dealt with last evening. And then today happened. I was working in fifth grade, but it was an afternoon only assignment. JR had mentioned to me this morning that his stomach hurt, but he didn't feel like he was going to vomit. When I got to school, the secretary mentioned to me that JR had come to her about 15 minutes ago saying that he vomited, but felt better and wanted to go back to class. I was able to check on him about an hour later, and this poor child looked as though he had been run over by a truck. I informed him that he was going home right then. It's a good thing too, because apparently he vomited again when he got home. Right now I'm thinking we need to quarantine ourselves!
