I am with you, e.

I am in Colorado where we have lost 9 children to this awful virus!

Signs are sore throat, cough, weakness, headache, muscle pain, fever.

If you have had the flu shot, everyone is in agreement that your case

- if you are unfortunate enough to get it - will probably be milder.

I can attest to that, because I did get it and it was nowhere near as

bad as most. Still, it started to turn into bronchitis and then I got

antibiotics (very wonderful powerful ones!) and now I am almost

better.

Our school sent home flyers on keeping healthy (simple things like

coughing into a sleeve instead of hand and WASHING THOSE HANDS!!!).

The school is very good about reminding the kids about the hand

washing and they keep the liquid no-water alcohol soap in the

classrooms.

Nurses from our hospital were on NPR today. When to get to the

hospital: inability to reduce a fever even by alternating ibuprophen

and acetominephin (sp); difficulty breathing (duh);

non-responsiveness; dehydration with lack of interest in fluids or

ability to keep fluids down.

Prayers with you ALL, especially this little one.

e,

Hi.If you find anything out about the flu outside of what i've read

as posts plz let me know.Tyler is still on home iv's and i gave him

and my 2 wocf the flu shot yesterday(thurs).There are none left for

the county, and the pediatrician only had 7 left, so me and my

husband cant get one anywhere.I'm scared to get it cuz its so hard

for me to take care of my little ones when i'm sick.Last yr i got

the flu in february and it was so bad, i was sick for a week

straight!The ONLY thing good that came out of it was I lost the few

pounds i was trying for!!Not much of a concellation(SP?) even

still.Yesterday I noticed a golfball in my throat which hurts today,

and Selena(no cf),3, has a wicked cough.Gave her Robitussin, but i

think the flu shot wont work if you p/up the bug right after you get

the shot.Keeping fingers crossed.Making sure to give us all fresh

fruit and vitamins in case we get hit hard.Dont know what else to

do.I'm spraying everything w/lysol and trying to wash those hands!!!

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Patty, mom to Ty,8,wcf and 2 wocf

On man is right! Let's hope that she is over it very quickly and that the

remainder of your household escapes it totally.

I should send you a case of Lysol disinfectant spray! I hope she is not to

miserable. Keep us informed, we all will be keeping our fingers crossed.

Rosemary,

I hope that has a mild form of the flu, if she has to have it

at all. Please let us know how she is doing.
