H1N1

So, lucky me. I am home with H1N1. And I am sure glad that my inlaws live so close. The boys have been over there since Saturday (because it was girls' weekend), and so when Sonny took me to the Minute Clinic yesterday and we found out it was H1N1, the inlaws decided that they would keep the boys for a while longer. My mother-in-law said this morning that they would keep the boys until my fever goes down for like a day. But that could be days. My temp this morning was 101.2. But that was down from the 103.5 that I had Saturday night.

I am not going to take the Tamiflu that she wrote a prescription for. She said that there was no right or wrong answer on that one since there was not enough information to support that it was safe to take while nursing. Besides, when Lukin had the ILI, his pediatrician said that he could take it, but it would only shorten it up by about a day. That doesn't really seem worth it if I have to pump and dump for the duration of the medication.

Anyway, I miss the boys. I think that Lukin misses us too. Whenever I call over there, he is too busy snuggling with a shirt of mine that he has been carrying around. At least Daddy can go over and spend some time with them, but I don't get that luxury. At least, not for a couple of days anyway.
