They are on the mend - Thank goodness!

It has been a rough week, Reiley is being treated for H1N1 and now so is Landen. I have to say it has been a very stressful ordeal but thank God for Tamiflu(correct spelling). This stuff is amazing, Reiley got her first dose on Monday night and by tuesday morning the fever had broke, she was still coughing but not nearly as bad as she was. Well then Landen got sick Tuesday night with a fever, I kept him home on Wednesday and the fever got worse and worse and he had a cough too. I took him in to the doctor yesterday and he has H1N1 as well. So off to the pharmacy again. Landen got his first dose of Tamiflu last night and this morning he is doing much better, the fever broke and still a bit of coughing but again not as bad as before. WE are all going to be getting the vaccine as soon as it becomes available. I think Reiley is going to be well enough to go back to school on Monday and we will see how well Landen is doing on sunday and then make the decision on if he is going back on Monday as well.
The concern about H1N1 has somewhat been blown way out of proportion but I can see when the concern is - this has the potential to become a very serious illness. I hope that everyone can see that and will act accordingly if they or a member of their family gets sick. If you get sick - stay home. If you have to go to the hospital - wear a mask and cough into your arm. Most of all, start taking Vitamin C, Cold FX or whatever you need to boost your immunity now. You do not wanna catch this bug.

I am glad my kids are on the mend, it is hard being the nurse, the maid, the cook, the cleaning lady and the wife. It is true what they say - Mothers have the toughest job in the world, thank heaven for Mothers.
