When it rains, it pours...

Josh woke up this morning telling me his throat hurt. I took him temp and it was 101. We made plans for him to stay home from school and I called the doctor for an appointment.

He got to the doctor at 11AM and even after a dose of Tylenol at 6:30 his fever was 103.1.

Strep throat AND swine flu.

We have him isolated at my parent's house to try and minimize exposure here, especially with Colin.

I've been running back and forth checking in on him and taking him things from home.

I'm guessing he's going to be down and out for a few days but hopefully by Monday he will start to show some improvement.

The doctor said the possibility of pneumonia worried her more than anything else. She said if he starts complaining with his chest hurting to bring him back ASAP and more than likely he would be hospitalized. We are praying it doesn't get to this and his coughing doesn't get any worse.

No fun at all!

I've been Cloroxing everything in sight. I know we have all already been exposed and the doctor said if we are going to get it it would be in the next 24-48 hours so we'll have to sit back and see what happens.

I jinxed us! I was just telling someone at work yesterday that we had never taken a flu shot and never gotten the flu!
