H1N1 Flu

Green got sick the other day and started running a fever, he was down and out and didn't feel like sitting up to get a drink. Paul took him to the Dr. and they said it cost to much to do the h1n1 test and went ahead and started him on Tamiflu because he had all the symptoms, next Ben gets it and he is down and out for about a day, Green still extreemly weak and not able to do much more than sit up and get a drink and take his meds. Fever ran about 102.5. So seeing how this is spreading pretty fast I went ahead and took the rest of the kids to the Dr. and got Ben started on the Tamiflu too. I also got a bottle for Harrison just in case while we were there. The Dr. said not to start him on it unless his fever went above 101 and he had not started running a fever yet. So we went home and sure enough it hit Harrison that afternoon. He was down and out too. Three very sick kids and the little one had not got it yet. Dr. says if the little one gets it to bring her back to see him and he was going to be closed the next day.

Swine Flu on the Rise

I decided to check out the number of swine flu cases now in the world and got a big surpise. Almost 36,000 people now have been infected with the swine flu as of yesterday and the numbers continue to rise. I imagine before long the Dr. and hospitals are going to start running out of supplies to treat swine flu victims with. Time to figure out what can keep you from getting this in the first place. I suggest eat garlic. No one wants to be around anyone that smells like garlic so that would keep people away at the least.

Swine Flu claims 81 lives in Mexico City

I have been following this story pretty close and sure enough it has been spread to the United States. This flu seems to be moving quick and causing quite a concern. It has been detected in California,Texas,Kansas, and New York. I am sure when it's all said and done there will be lots more. Are you ready and prepared to survive what may come of this? Just think, people who went to Mexico for vacation may be working next to you, going to the same school,working at the local grocery,or restaurant. Or might even be your healthcare provider, you dont know. Take precautions and make sure you have food and supplies to stay away from the public if need be.
