Parker has the flu

Today was a crazy Sunday. Parker's throat was not feeling so good yesterday so he mentioned it to the doctor when he was there for his physical exam.  They looked at his throat but could not see anything so they said he was probably starting something. Well, today he had a fever of 103 and it would not go down. He woke up from his nap and I checked his temperature and it was up to 105.2, super hot.  When I felt him with my hand it was extremely hot. So we took him to the ER.  They took his blood and it came back positive for flu!! Now he needs to rest and stay home from school for a few days. We have all had the flu shot but he caught a different strain of the flu so in this case the flu shot is useless.
