It's Been Going Around...And Coming Back...Again and Again

Tom has been sick with a cough.
Tom has been sick since late January.
It came, then left, then came and now it won't leave. It's lingering. He's in bed right now, with a fever, moaning and groaning.
From what I've been hearing around town and reading on blogs, this one is a doozie.
It won't go away.
The Monkey had something like it last month for about a 10 days. The Bubby and I have seem to stay clear of it.
He's gonna stay down for a couple days and take it easy.
Get better Honeybunny.
