Here Piggy Piggy...

Well, I hope that your week has gone better than mine. We have officially been homebound with the H1N1 since Saturday. Let's start at the beginning. Embree came to me at work complaining on Friday of her throat hurting so I assumed it was just sinus drainage which it has always been. I gave her some sudafed and sent her back to class. She didn't say anything else the rest of the day so she had a slumber party with her cousins that evening. About 10 in the morning the phone rang and it was E saying that I needed to pick her up because she was sick. I called the Dr. but all the appts. had been taken so I opted to take her to an a.m./p.m. clinic to make sure she was okay. She was diagnosed with the swine flu (yeah!) Anyway, I decided to stay home with her and let G take Hogan to his mom's so they could stay away from her. This sounded like a good idea until late Sunday evening when G called and said that H had just been diagnosed with the swine flu also. So now we have officially exposed ALL of the family to the H1N1 (however it was totally not intentional). So I have stayed home with the kids all week long and will continue until Monday. I have Lysoled, Febreezed, Cloroxed, and washed everything in the house. On the plus side, my house has never been cleaner. So if you have time say a prayer for the fam that we will continue to get better. The kids seem to be doing great, except now E has developed the crup along with her flu. I am definitely ready to get out of the house into some fresh air, no matter how crummy the weather is outside. Hopefully by the weekend we should ALL be better. I did however have a question when the kids were diagnosed with the swine flu- I was wondering if they had any type of craving for bacon or pork chops. They both said no so I guess that's not a side effect. I'm glad because I don't care for pork. Well I'll update you on our condition. Until next time...
