Piggie Flu

Doesn't "piggie flu" sound so much better than the nasty swine flu or H1N1? No matter what you call it, Daddy's got it. Casey was diagnosed with the nasty swine flu virus late Thursday, although he prefers to call it the piggie flu.

The four of us were sick this week with colds and then a stomach virus - all within a 48-72 hour time span. Hailey is still battling her respiratory issues and is being monitored closely. She narrowly avoided being admitted to the hospital yesterday.

Daddy is really feeling poorly and the babies were prescribed Tamiflu, too. Neither of the babies were able to get their H1N1 vaccine b/c they have been battling colds and weren't well enough to receive the vaccine when they arrived. I got my vaccine at work. Daddy didn't receive a flu vaccine or H1N1 vaccine, even though he's a first responder...don't even get me started on that ! : )

We're slowly on the mend and hope to be over all of this by the time Santa heads to town. Needless to say, we haven't even started Christmas shopping. The tree is up but there are no gifts to go under it yet. We'll get there....somehow.
