Virus Tally #2: Winter of 2005-2006
OK, this is so exciting, I just have to share. After a whole year of dreading the return of winter and the dreaded cold/flu season, here is what I have to report:
Husband: 0 colds 0 flu's
Me: 1 cold 0 flu's
Son #1: 0 colds 1 flu (only a fever)
Son #2: 1 cold 1 flu
Daughter: 0 colds 0 flu's
By this time last year, we had suffered through a total of 14 colds and 8 flu's. OK, so maybe this year isn't as bad a year for viruses in general. Is it? January was a very warm month, and we were outside more often than we would normally have been (sunshine and fresh air are very good for you). The only other factor is that our diet is dramatically different now than it was last year, and I am thrilled to pieces that this seems to have been the result. We have gotten sick this winter, just not as much. So....praise the Lord! And pass the cod liver oil! :-)
