Influenza B

Influenza is a contagious disease caused by the influenza virus. It affects the respiratory tract in humans. Influenza usually comes on suddenly and may include these symptoms:

Fever
Headache
Tiredness
Cough
Sore Throat
Congestion
Body Aches

Influenza has invaded the body of my big girl :( Although she is supposed to be in a musical at school this weekend, she now has the flu. The Dr. said, she'd seen a lot of influenza A cases, but this was the first Influenza B case. (I have no idea what that means, but leave it to the big girl to be unique.) Prayers for a speedy recovery appreciated.

Stephie,
You're Grammie is praying nite and day for you. Remember my sweet girl, God is your greater healer! I love you very much, Grammie

P.S. Last nite your Grammie got bitten in the mouth by a Shitzu dog. Spent 3 hours in the ER at Scottsdale Hospital..5 stitches and a pint or two of blood (from the Coumadin) and I was on my way home with a mouth that looks like how a clown puts on his lipstick! What next, eh?
