On The Flu Bandwagon

We have finally been hit with the flu. I took Kasyn to the pediatrician on Monday and a strep swab and flu swab were both done and both came back positive. So the doc thinks that it is H1N1 and had me immediately go on Tamiflu since I am high risk with the pregnancy. My only symptoms so far is some chilling and a fever between 102 & 103 that I can't seem to shake. I thought that I was taking every precaution to keep my house and my kids clean and look at where it has gotten me. I have been wiping down my walls with clorox wipes and all handles such as door, bathroom faucets and toilet handles and apparently all for nothing. But Jason pointed out that it is airborne and the fact that we breathe means that we are at risk of it. So my suggestion to everyone reading this is not to breathe around other people and wash your hands and you should be fine. Meanwhile, I have chosen to stay indoors with the kids since our visit to the pediatrician to prevent the spread of it on our end.
