[QUOTE="serenityprayer, post: 342538, member: 8421"] HUGS (((((gcvmom))))) The flu can last 2 weeks or more.....so you could wait for difficult child to recover or you could cut him back temporarily until he recovers. Most of all....his fatigue is not your fault or from the medications...the flu is HARDCORE!!!! Whenever one of my kids gets it....they are out of school anywhere from 1-2 weeks with 3 weeks of recovery. Not too long ago we had the really bad strain A with a 2 week fever!!!!!!!! One note though.......mono can look just like the flu. So if he is still really tired...you may want to take him into the doctor so they can run some tests and check for enlarged spleen etc. My neighbors recently had mono...so it is going around our area. There is a 1 month incubation period, so if other kids start coming down with the "flu" in a month...u may be looking at mono! Both my kids had it about 2 years ago and we were told it was the flu by a doctor in the beginning until the fatigue was so bad...they did a mono spot test and it came back positive! Thinking of u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GIANT HUGS!!!!!!!!!!! Praying for difficult child!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
