First of all....Let me say, congrats on 3 weeks!!!  I'm right there with ya!  I can't believe it's been a month already!

Now....

Don't you worry about a thing, hon....everything is going to be okay.  H1N1 is a scary thing...but think about this....more people die of the regular flu than that of H1N1 every year.  I personally beleive that the media has blown this whole H1N1 thing way outta proportion.  I know....that probably doesn't give you much comfort at this point....but the statistics are true.  Please don't worry.  Just put all of your faith into God, and know that he is being watched over.  

And you are absolutely right.....the easy way (right now) would be to get some pills, and pop them.  Easy right now...but you will pay for it later.  You know as well as I do that it's true.  You will spend the next who knows how long beating yourself up over it.  
You know...You and I started this whole thing pretty much at the same time....we have been at each others sides thru this whole journey, and I will be damned if I am gonna let you slip.  How would you feel if I said, "if you go get some pills, I'm gonna go get some!"?   lol   No...but seriously.... I think I know you pretty well....and I KNOW that you don't take the easy way out.  Stick to your plan, and do this without the pills.  You KNOW you can do it.  And a couple of weeks down the road, when all of these problems and feelings have subsided, you will feel that much better about yourself knowing that you did it all on your own....without the pills.  You can do this hon.  I know you can!  You're a tough girl, and you have come so far already.  As far as dealing with the stress.....lean on your hubby, and find relief from the stress in things that you enjoy doing.  It's going to be hard, I know....but think about the stress and emotional weight that you have already overcome thus far.  Please don't let this drag you down.  I know in my heart that you are strong enough to handle this.

You, your family, and your son will be in my prayers tonight!  <3  

Take care hon...and keep posting.  It helps so much!

Im sorry you are going through this. How old is your son? My 6 yr old has been sick for over a week now and was Dx'd with pneumonia too although it was a mild case of it, thank god. I too was worried abuot the H1N1 and they never did test him for it as the dr's office didnt have any tests there to use. I dont think he had the swine flu though- the symptoms werent that similar and no one else in the family got the same type of sickness (we all got the sniffles but nothing bad). Anyways, I understand your fear and the stress involved and sorry this is happening when youve only got 3 weeks clean under your belt. You can get through this without relapsing though. Hang tough, be strong for your son and entire family. Keep us posted on your son, i will say a prayer that he gets well fast.
