Michigan getting hit with high number of flu cases as we approach influenza peak season

The flu has hit Lauren Springall's family hard. Her 5-year-old son was the first one to get sick. "He's always ground zero for illness," she said. "And then it was one by one within the next day. Everybody was down, including myself." But it was Lauren's 9-month-old baby girl who seemed to get hit the hardest. "She's still sick. It's been two and a half weeks and I'm still probably going to have to take her back to the doctor," Lauren said, adding her own bout with the flu left her feeling more sick than she can recall in her adult life. Michelle Heyza of Harrison Township said her fever was the worst.
