Within an hour of each other, we had 2 swine flu diagnosis....didn't see that one comin'. So, now 2/3rds of my household has H1N1 (we have to call *it* that so we don't hurt *it's* feelings). We were tipped off by unusually high fever for both Brad and Jilian. School called on Tuesday and said she was running fever and that I had to come and get her. They required a dr's note to come back if it wasn't flu. So, we headed straight to the pediatrician. BTW, a sweet little McKinney cop, who I waved to as we were driving past him, pulled me over to give me a ticket for an expired inspection sticker. MYDAUGHTERHASSWINEFLU... AREYOUKIDDINGMEWITHTHIS? Turns out, all I have to do is get my car inspected within 20 days, and show the receipt to the court. Then, it will 'disappear'....we'll see...
Anyway, you can imagine my surprise at the pediatrician's office when he came in and told me she had the SWINE. I never even suspected it....I thought ear infection or sinus infection, but NEVER the SWINE. He put her on Tamiflu and lots of rest and fluids. "She's out for the week," he says. "A WEEK? She's runnin' around here like she owns the place; how could she possibly have the SWINE?".....it's possible.
Brad flew in a little early today, and he told me he was running a fever. So, I told him to drive straight to the dr's office and get tested for the SWINE....demand a test.....demand attention.....and, like a good husband, he did. Guess what? He has the SWINE! (that's *it's* new name...how do you like that CDC?)
So, I called my dr and told him that both my family members have the SWINE..."What do I need to do?....Tamiflu?" So, they put me on Tamiflu, too. $75 later and a trip to Chick fil a for chicken noodle soup, and we had our relief.
They have stayed in the front of the house, while I stay in the den.
My poor babies...
BTW, I did manage to get Jilian's clothes sorted and switch out. She was a BIG help....
Now, my babies are both asleep in Jilian's bed.
Better go check on them. That's all for now....oink, oink, oink.....

Oh no ~ two have it! You stay healthy Annie and I'll be thinking of you all.
I love how Jilian looks so happy to help you with the clothes! Brad, however, looks like H-E-double hockey sticks.
