Swine Flu

All the news hype about swine flu turns out to be true! Tim was diagnosed on Wednesday after two days of fever, body aches, chills, etc. Antiviral meds seem to be helping, but his asthma condition has been a complication. Another doctor visit today, a breathing treatment, a steroid shot and more antibiotics will hopefully help. Fine way to start out the New Year :-(

It's been misery for all of us. Our biggest challenge now is keeping the rest of the family from catching the flu. So we are sleeping in separate beds and staying beyond spitting distance from one another. And I've taken to wearing one of these as a precaution...







You don't really think about how many things a family shares until something like this happens and we shouldn't be touching the same surfaces. With one PC shared between three users, Tim has taken to using his iPhone instead. Ah, the challenges of staying healthy in the modern world!
