Wow it has been a while!

Life sure has gotten in the way of my blogging and reading!! I peek in when I can but I've not really had time to do much of anything! My poor baby, who happens to be 6'0, wears a size 13 shoe and is only 15 and yes he is still my baby, has been so sick these last 6 weeks or so! It seems that if it is out there and it can be caught, he catches it. He has passed more sickies on to us then should be legally allowed!

Well this last time was the big one, my son tested positive for swine flu! I got called by the nurse at his high school telling me that he had a 101 fever and that I needed to come and get him. Once we got home the fever went up and hovered between 103 and 104 all night long. We did everything.....piggy backing tylenol and motrin and getting him into a lukewarm tub but the fever wouldn't budge. By morning he was coughing up both lungs! I got him into our doctor and they did the swab test and put him on Tamiflu and a z-pak. He got well really quickly but had to be quarantined in his room for 3 days. It took the lab 7 business days to get the results back and when our doctor called me to tell me it was positive I was shocked! The meds worked well but the cough is hanging on so we are going back to the doctor tomorrow!

I hate when my kids are sick, scares the crap out of me and especially when they get fevers like he had! Hopefully we are getting through this and getting past it because I don't think I can handle him being sick anymore!! Only good news is that now he is immune to this particular strain and shouldn't get H1N1 again!

I've had to spend the last few days doing all the stuff I've neglected for nearly a month! I'm trying to find a better way to store my books and I would love to get back to reading too!! :)

So I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy and I should be back to blogging now!!
