B has been sick since Friday night, with what turns out to be H1N1. Then less than an hour after returning home from the urgent care visit that confirmed the diagnosis, Z came down with a fever. She doesn't seem to feel bad at all yet, but poor B is hurting. He's burning up with fever, 103 even with drugs on board, and has a scary hacking cough. The doctor said his lungs sounded good though, so apparently the cough is not as scary as it sounds. This afternoon he started complaining that his legs & his head ache. The poor little dude. There's really nothing we can do but keep drugs in him & keep him drinking fluids. I'll call Z's doctor in the morning, since her age puts her in the high-risk group. Maybe she'll luck out & they'll give her antivirals.
Let's hope M and I can hold out. I don't know what we'll do if all four of us are as sick as B is right now, all at the same time! At least now that debate over whether or not to vaccinate the kids for H1N1 is moot.

I'm so sorry the kiddos are sick and I hope they get better very fast. The decision of whether or not to vaccinate is a tough one but at least you don't have to go there any more.
Oh yuck! Hope they are better soon!
ick. feel better...if I was your neighbor I'd bring around soup.
Personally I was glad to get it all over with on the early side. I barely slept for three nights for fear that her breathing would get rough...but no problems in that dept for us, thank the powers that be. Q seemed to have a relatively mild case. And Mike and I had stockpiled the adult antivirals (only ones we could get) when the outbreak began. We were all pretty feeble, but didn't suffer a lot. Glad you came through the plague unscathed.
