Sick days
I was down for the count for a good week. Fever, chills, massive sinus and chest cold, but thankfully no gastro issues. Doing the low carb thing meant that my usual sickness stand by, chicken noodle soup, was out, so I was in search of something with a similar feel that would be healing.
I ended up taking some chicken/bone broth, a bunch of frozen chopped spinach, several cloves of garlic, then streaming in some eggs at the last minute for some awesome egg drop soup. This, along with lots of hot tea, an avocodo and some oranges became my menu for the week. It was a good choice.
I feel much better now. I do have a lingering cough, but from my understanding it may hang around for a good month or two if it follows the trend of everybody else who got knocked over with this bug. Last night was my first night back in bed with the rest of the crew and I didn’t have any coughing fits, so I think I am on the mend.
So far, Zach hasn’t gotten sick at all. Zane was sick the day before I was, never had a fever, and was better in two days. Zora started coughing earlier this week, but hasn’t progressed to a fever, so she might luck out too. I am SO glad that it hit me harder than the kids.
