According to health officials in our community, H1N1 is

affecting all of the school kids. My son started with symptoms on Monday after

school. He has not been this ill since he had roseola when he was 19 months

old. Having an " overactive " immune system, I am not used to him getting sick

like this. Not sure if this is a blessing in disguise?!

We have it here as well. My youngest got sick last Saturday and I have kept both

boys home all week. My older son started to get sick late Tuesday. I am just now

coming down with a sore throat. My kids pediatrician would not test them for it.

She said that the Ohio Dept of Health is the only one that can give the test but

when I spoke to someone at their school, one of the adults working there had a

confirmed case of it. We are all hanging in there.

All the best,

Jill

My younger son (3yo) got sick with flu like symptoms last Wednesday, we took him

to the pediatrician and he tested positive for Influenza A. The pediatrician

said that most likely it was the H1N1 flu, we have had him at home since last

Wednesday trying not to get other children sick. Around half of the children

and many of the teachers in the preschool got sick to the point that they closed

the preschool today.

My younger son developed a really high fever for one night (104.6), we gave him

Motrin and it went down. The next morning he had a fever of 100 degrees that it

lasted 1 day. He has been fine since then. I took my older son (5yo) who is

Dr. Goldberg's patient to take the pneumonia vaccine the same day my younger son

got sick. We all started taking Tamiflu to try to avoid the flu (I don't really

know if Tamiflu works or not, but we are taking it) and we are also taking

probiotics. I read a study/article that said that probiotics help lower the

probability of getting the flu or if you get the flu it doesn't hit you too

hard.

So far only my younger so got the flu, everybody else in the house is fine.

We have several confirmed cases in all of our schools.  I think that it is

everywhere.  My husband did not want to go to open house at the school tonight

because he is afraid that he will get it since he is so run down.  He just

returned from a year in Iraq on Monday.  Sheri

It is confirmed in my kids' elementary (k-3) school, as well, and in their

'sister' campus (4-6). We are in north coastal San Diego. It went through a

community just southeast of here a few weeks ago.

Well, if I just returned from spending a year in Iraq, I am not sure if I would

want to go to a school meeting regardless if H1N1 was out there. I am glad to

hear that your husband is back. I would suggest to every one here to just take

it easy for a while and not exert yourself.

All the best,

Jill

Agree with Jill....Bless your husband, glad he is home. And for those in high

risk groups they really should avoid contact...this is a nasty one.

Hi

Our pediatrician prescribed Tamiflu for my Nids son. He prescribed it within 72

hous of his onset of fever. Our pediatrician said it would still be helpful

within the 72 hr time frame, and it would knock a day or 2 off of the duration

of the illness. However, we stopped it as it caused vomiting and he was already

having enough trouble keeping fluids down.

Hope this helps,
