Jaxson started running a fever on Sunday, and it was even higher on Monday - 102.9. I took him in to the doctor that morning and couldn't believe it when he tested positive for swine flu. Thank goodness we caught it in the first 48 hours and he was able to start Tamiflu. He was pretty miserable Monday. I felt so bad for him. He slept almost the whole day and when he was awake he just laid and watched a little tv.
When I called his school to let them know, his teacher told me 15 kids from class were home sick. 15!!! By the end of the day I had talked to three other parents whose kids also had the swine flu in his class.
Today, Tuesday, he is feeling a bit better. He is awake and just lying on the couch. He still has a fever of 101, but Motrin helps him feel a lot better. We are praying for a speedy recovery, and hoping nobody else in the family catches it.
