Bad luck flu

Uta was back to school for four days before he got sick again. Five solid days of alarmingly high fever, throwing up, and body aches. It was scary, having just gotten over pneumonia, to see him so ill again. I brought him to the doctor on day one thinking it was a relapse and certain we were heading back to the hospital. And though there was some head scratching and quizzical looks at the boy, the diagnosis was flu, and some seriously bad luck. On day four the doctor still said bad luck flu. And though it is unbearably frustrating for Uta to go through, he will get better. Uta checks out OK, he's a normal healthy kid who has just been hit hard, twice, back to back.

And now Kizuki is sick. Its just a cold. But she's not happy about it. Coughing makes her furious.
