Lets talk about the Swine flu...

My 18 month old tested positive saturday. Wow it was scary when his temp is pushing 105 degrees earlier staurday morning before test. He is now on tamiflu and is a completely new baby. It took him out for on day. Now we are just watching his temp and feeding him his meds and Crossing our fingers we got it in time..
Wow does this scare the Hell out of you...Well I think the Government made it out to be much worse than it is..
Well we have lucked out here and I am grateful.

great news George, hang in there & here's to a speedy full recovery!

By noon Thursday, I knew I was down for the count. I took about a 1.5 hour nap on a sidewalk outside the LasVegas Convention Center. The fever just kept going up. I checked with the airline and got a mask and a blanket for the ride home. I was actually surprised that they allowed me to board since I gave them ALL of the symptoms that I had and that relate to H1N1. Finally rolled in my door a 02:00 Friday Morning and this is the first I have moved since then. Still feel like dog snot, but the fever has started to subside.

yuck, but I still think regular stomach flu is worse.

Jeez man, that sucks! Hope you're all better now. Did anyone throw you money as you slept on the sidewalk?

I don't blame 'ya.

Guys, if you're in acarr's situation, just note that there is live flu (mostly killed but still live) in the nasal mist. If you've got a very young baby (like we do), make sure you get the injection instead of the nasal spray. I'm sure acarr is fine with the spray and he definitely did the right thing by getting protected.
