I'm pretty sure that David and I had the swine flu. or not. But all the time we were sick- neither of my kids showed any signs of problems. Until now.
Faye is sick. Really sick. She is hardly eating and I'm sure she has a temp because she is really hot to the the touch, but my thermometer is broken- so I don't know how high her fever is.
David has a PBL test coming up which, for some reason, means that one of my kids will be spending time at the hosptial no doubt. It happens that way EVERY PBL test unless my mom is here and seeing as how she is on a boat heading for the Galapagos Islands for three weeks I'm doubting she will be able to make it.
So- what do I do? The doctor's office is closed until Monday. I really don't want to go to the ER. Given her history, I don't know if I am okay with waiting until Monday to do something about it.
Any ideas? Any thermometers that can be burned after using?
A place to document our day-to-day brags or complaints. Hope you enjoy.

If she's had it less than 48 hrs they will give her tamaflu(sp?) Which I have heard cuts the flu in half, so I would say it is worth it to see a Doc sooner than later, I have also heard that other kids who do not yet have symptoms that live in the same house can get tamaflu, and it is helpful.
So sorry that your week is gonna prob suck. Wish we were there to help!
Graham is sick too. Throws up when we feed him. Temp of 100.6, won't eat, and is super fussy. I called the doctors last night. They said a lot of viruses are going around right now so we are going to have to wait it out. If the wet diapers stop or the vomitting is about 10 times a day, she said, then take him to the ER. Hope this helps.
Thanks guys! After talking to a few doctors we decided to wait it out and if she is still struggling on Monday I will take her to the doc Mon morning.
Angalee- sorry about graham. I hope he feels better soon- it is so sad when you have sad little sick people! I hope you guys don't get sick too.
I'm so sorry you guys are sick. Call me if you need anything!!
