As I mentioned before I was sick....REALLY sick. Kayden has been running a fever but otherwise o.k. He developed a cough and then some diahrea. I decided to call his doctor because I didn't know how much longer they wanted us to continue with him running a fever since he had a fever for over a week. The doc wanted us to go up and have labs drawn this last Friday. He had a CMV test and an Influenza test. Kayden tested positive for Influenza A. While talking to the doctor she told me that out of the people in the valley who think they have the common cold right now....86% of them actually have the flu. Out of those 86%....... 96% have Swine Flu. I asked her what Kayden chances of having the Swine Flu are and she said that he has a 100% chance of having Swine Flu. He is in two high risk categories.....under the age of 5 and he is immune compromised. If you looked at Kayden right now you would never know that the kid is sick and he has never really slowed down. He is on a regimen of Tamiflu now.
Today Lexi started running a fever, body aches, chills, headache, sore throat, ear pain blah blah blah. Took her to the doctor today started her on Tamiflu but she also has an ear infection so she is also on Augmentin.
I also went with Lexi to the doctor because I have a HORRID cough. The doctor was really nice and prescribed me some cough medicine for night time with Lortab in it and some Tessalon tablets for daytime so that I won't cough so bad during the day.
Now we just have to watch Koy and Josh.
I just want us all to get better again

With the whole family down and out I hope you guys don't get it. Sadly our immuno compromised kid was the least sick out of all of us. The rest of us... well We wont die.... yet

I feel horrible that they had to go through this! I had it just a few weeks ago. NOT FUN.
