H1N1

Well this afternoon I started running a temp. I called in to talk to the On Call doctor and they asked me a bunch of questions. I guess they score you according to how you answer your questions... they treat people who score a 5 and I got a 12. They decided to immediately get me onto TamaFlu. For now I'm supposed to take Tylenol for the fever, drink lots of fluids and take the medicine. Hopefully that will take care of it and we caught it early enough that I won't get too bad. All I can say is this stuff is not fun. I feel absolutely miserable.

It was really hard this afternoon waiting for Tom to get off work. I just went downhill fast as far as feeling good. I am SO thankful Tom is home now. They ran to a grocery store to pick up some chicken noodle soup so that I will eat something. You know that feeling of wanting your mommy when you are sick? All I have wanted all day is Tom to come home and help me and take care of me. I'm so glad he is such a good husband and does such a great job. He and Abs are out on the swings, Abs has been just craving playing and rough housing but I've been in no shape to do either. Taking care of the basics with her has been hard enough.

As a final thought to everyone out there reading this... if you feel sick, if you have been sick in the last 24 hours, if you KNOW someone who has been sick. PLEASE don't go to church, I know it is important and that many people have jobs they need to do there... but even possibly exposing people with weakened immune systems is frustrating. So please please please stay home if you can.

Well it's time for some chicken soup, I havent eaten all day and need to with my medication. Please keep our family in your prayers that we can get healthy soon and remain healthy. Thanks :)
