H1N... whatever.

ah the flu. H1N1 has reared it's ugly head in our area like it's nobody's business, and like most places in the country, it's running rampant through schools and offices and public places in general. so it wasn't a huge surprise that we are starting to get sick too. after much consideration, the girls actually received the (first of two) vaccinations last week. but it appears that it may not have been soon enough, atleast for sylvi at this point. i have been sick since last wednesday and roo woke up last night with a high fever. so we are off to the doctor this morning to get a flu swab and if confirmed, ask some questions about the possibility of getting Tamiflu as well. so far phil and isa are not showing signs of illness, but i gotta say-- i'll be shocked if isa gets the full benefit of the vax before actually contracting the flu. *sigh*

  1. OH NOOOOOO!!!! Glad you are getting the swab quickly so she can get on meds if necessary. The media is making EVERYONE paranoid, especially people with young, "healthy" children. Talk to you later. Hope you feel better soon, Roo. See you in 4 days. Nanny

  2. yeah, i certainly don't miss having a tv at times like these. i feel like i can make much more informed (and less paranoid) decisions without it!

  3. So glad to hear that Roo isn't feeling too badly. Fever doesn't bother kids like it does adults. Just keep the Tylenol in her (NO aspirin)and hang on until I can get there to help. Nanny
