H1N1
Swine flue sounds nasty. Like I'm a pig. An animal. I have it. The swine flu. I prefer H1N1, though that sounds like I'm just a number. I'm not positive that I do have it, but J does, and I've had a lot of similar symptoms. My fever just decided to stick around for a few hours instead of days. We were in Urgent Care Sunday night for 4 hours, while they ran tests and looked at J. Yesterday the test results came back and we found out what was bothering our sweet baby. Then, A woke up from his nap with a fever. Another one down. DH took N to get the vaccine last night. They wouldn't give N a shot; she was too young for their location. We have to take her to a pediatrician. DH got his though, so hopefully he won't be the next casualty. N? Um, there's a conundrum. What's a mom supposed to do? Take out 2 sick kiddos and herself to a dr.'s office, to get the well one a shot so she won't get sick, but the sick ones could make a lot of the well children sick, besides being cranky and uncooperative for the entire outing or stay home and the well one might get sick but the sickies won't pass on their sickness, and they can rest and hopefully get well soon. I know she needs the shot, but the thought of leaving home in our current situation drives me crazy, let alone the actual doing of it.
