Well, this is pretty much what Jessie told him this morning when he was complaining about me not coming over!!! She told me that if she felt better, she really would have let him have it! She said to him, "Why should anybody have to come over? What are you planning to do to help me today, and if I really get sick, I hope you are planning to take care of me!!" She also told him tat she doesn't want me to get really sick since I am living by myself.

Steve's stepfather is there now to help with a new heating system, and now he has it!

My doctor told me not to go because it can be passed back and forth and nobody gets better. I have slight symptoms, but I am not worried yet. My doctor said that if I start feeling worse, to come right over.

So far we have been spared the flu here. I will be keeping you and your family in my prayers Judy. Don't delay seeing your Dr. if your symptoms get worse.

I think all us girls ought to come and kick Steve's butt! Doesn't he even think? We don't want you sick.

I'll go with you, Janet!

I'm sorry the kids are sick. Just the thought of the swine flue is a scary thing. Take care of yourself!

I think there is something to what you said Gail. I used to have "the grippe" whenever I got sick as a kid. That's what they called the flu back then. As an adult, I almost never get sick. I don't expect to let this swine flu slow me down at all.

I think I have a good amount of antibodies. We also weren't so concerned with picking up germs then. We got plenty dirty, touched everything, etc., and probably that's why we have all of these antibodies.

Take care of yourself Judy.

Hope the kids and Jess are feeling better real soon.

Mackenzie and Kassidy are much better. Brandon and Jessie are still feeling sick, but they got it a day or 2 later.

I'm going there tomorrow. I was already exposed, and I want to see them. Besides, the guilt is killing me!

I'm glad to hear that the kids are feeling better. I'll be praying for them anyway. You were right to not go over when the kids were sick. When you're older you have to take care of yourself and that means avoiding sick people. Your SIL was probably only thinking of himself when he made those comments. Men don't like to tend to sick people.
