Tell me this is just my immune system updating

 I am feeling very sick. The sniffles. The burning throat. The itch.

Last week, Ali Imran got sick. He had the sniffles and then a slight fever. He hasn't been to school for almost 2 weeks now coz even though he was active, his runny nose was still there and his teachers denied him access into the school.

On Friday, Yusuf picked up something. His immune system is different because he's always had a slight case of bronchitis since he was born due to the fact that he pooped in the womb and he was born at 36 weeks. He spent 10 days in the hospital....... I hate remembering it......... Anywho, he's been coughing but the doctor didn't put him on the nebulizer coz he wasn't wheezing. He needed antibiotics.

2 days ago, I stayed up looking after Safiyya coz her body temperature increased and I had to make sure it didn't get too high or else she might get into a fit. Her immune system is strong because she's active and isn't picky when it comes to food. She recovered the next day.

This morning, I woke up feeling like my throat was on fire. I was fine earlier this morning. I felt like I was deteriorating towards the evening. Then, came the sniffles and a slight fever. I'm about to take my 3rd dose of paracetamol later........ And I'm probably gonna crash.........

Funny how I've been fighting this off for a few days now. I've been working out and trying to ignore the tiny symptoms. I can hear my mom telling me that it's gonna take about 72 hours to recover from this 😑
