four.down.two.to.go.

P and I are the two left in our house who're still flu free. We're taking bids on when we'll get it, and who'll get it first. I say it's him. Today e went to the hospital for i.v. fluids. She didn't have to stay over since they got her there earlier than l, and she hadn't dried out as much. She'd lost three pounds though, and since her starting weight was only 32 pounds, that's about 10% of her body weight. L lost six pounds- from 52 to 46, or about 12%. It's crazy to think of like that- for someone's who's 150lbs, they could lose around 15-18lbs if they were sticking with the 10-12% of body weight. Maybe this flu would be a good way to drop a few extra pounds. Although then you'd have to put up with several days of violent vomiting and dehydration.
