ACK! Running Son appears to have H1N1
It's been going around the school like wildfire, and lastnight he started getting the first symptoms.. Sore throat... And now the 101 fever has set in, and he can't talk, barely swallow, eyes look horrible! Poor kid.
Neighbor told me when she called her son's pedi after FOUR days of a 101+ fever he said all he is seeing is H1N1, and doesn't feel there is another strain in our area right now..
UGH.... here we go!!!
Appears Running MOMMY now has it!!
Started feeling a sore throat on Saturday but kept saying to myself "it's all in your head".
Nope, this is the first time all day off the couch. Headache,fever,sore throat from hell, and ache worse than after finishing an Ironman.
I think mine might be milder. And I am able to keep running sons fever to around 100-101.
But we have slept ALLL day!
Also picked up a steth at the drugstore lastnight, so can listen for any breathing/lung issues w/the boy.
He had horrible asthma as a baby/toddler, and when he gets sick he has problems.
So back to the couch!!! sigh....
Oh and FWIW- I have been waiting for the vaccines to come out! But all we have been able to get so far is the regular flu one. So I guess we are testament that the regular flu vaccine doesn't work for h1n1. Since we had the other about 3-4 weeks ago.
