H1N1 hit the family hard

[winner727]

started with clusters in schools .then when my daughters temp hit 104  ,   we took her in to childrens hosp .they did a mandatory swab test .three days later It came back possitive .shes pretty much done with it , running around like nothing ever happened ! now wife is very ill .shes  had issues with lungs ,allergys , etc question is ; since I didnt get AS sick as them .should I still worry ? I feel guilty. ! my doctor says ,lots of hand washing ,because my wbcs are low
[2.5} but should I stay away ,in a room . Im sure It all over the house anyway    what a miserable week !

Sorry my friend that is dreadful. Just dreadful but at least I thought it was supposed to be a milder version flu? I had the regular stupid flu last week and ended up in the hospital over night for two nights.  But it wasn't any cool swine flu.  I kind of had wished it was ... then I could have had something interesting to tell people ;)

I'm just kidding (I know you already know because you know me) but wanted to make sure I put that just in case.

I'm glad that nothing is SERIOUSLY wrong.  The flu is just one of the worst things in the world but at least it is temporary for most people eventually. I'm glad she will be ok.

Hi Winner:

That darn swine flu!  I'm sorry that it has hit your family.  I do think your doc is giving you good advice to keep your distance from those that are ill.  When my family members are ill (whether it's a cold or flu or whatever) I most definitely keep my distance from them (as long as they aren't so sick that they need care from me).  And, yes, lots of hand washing and keep away from the coughing/sneezing.

Oh, and don't feel guilty!!!  You have enough on your plate without getting the flu too.  :)

Haven't heard from you for a while, so sorry to hear about the flu.  Hope everyone's doing OK.  Don't think you need to hide out.  What does Doc.say?  Don't feel guilty, I'm sure everythings going to be OK.  

Take Care - Lynne
