Swine flu
My granddaughter, Abi, has type A flu, which is assumed to be swine flu. She doesn't feel good, but she's OK. She started Tamiflu tonight so she should be fine. I was around her Saturday evening. The CDC says you are contagious one day before you show symptoms - so hopefully, I wasn't exposed. Her mom and Emma were here last night, but neither of them have symptoms yet, so hopefully, they didn't expose Gary.
I'm pretty sure I had the swine flu in 1976 - my daughter was a baby - about 4 weeks old - she was born Oct. 5, when I had a terrible case of the flu. I was nursing her so if it was the swine flu, maybe she got antibodies and she won't get it now. Maybe I won't get it either. Since I teach at a University, I'm exposed to students all day, every day....... I'll keep you all posted.

I read this on FB. I can't believe that she got the swine flu and its only Sept. I always thought that flu season was in the winter. I hope that the pills start working quickly and that she will feel better in no time.
I will say a prayer that you and Gary don't get it either. That's all poor Gary needs right now. Keep us posted.. |

The doc said the seasonal flu won't be here for a few more weeks, but the Swine flu is in full force! Said everyone in the household will get it - hope we don't!

Gayle, is the H1N1 virus a one time thing or can you relapse with it? Take care of yourself and your babies.

They told Brooke to take mom to the doc immediately if/when she shows signs/sympts. She should be able to start tamiflu quickly and should be OK. I am worried about Gary, but there is nothing we can do...... except get to the doc if symptoms occur

I know you're worried about Gary. Mike has to go to the doc tomorrow for his 3 month labs and check up, and I hate for him to even go to the doctors office
 Of course they could get anything anywhere.
