Well it seems as though its our families turn with two of my children being diagnosed with swine flu today , one this morning and another this afternoon. Both are now lying around very sleepy and feeling very yuk!!!!

So it seems that our house is now out of bounds to visitors for now until they have got rid of this and it seems that means they are home with ME!!!!

Wonder what the odds are on me getting it...............which would not be good due to my other respiratory problems. How does a mom stay away from the kids when they are feeling so yuk but also stop herself from getting it???? maybe l need a mask

So sorry to hear both your children have the swine flu. What are the symptoms - because I don't know them? I would definately wear a mask, if I were you since you have the breathing vulnerability. Be aware not to touch your eyes, mouth or nose at all and wash your hands before you eat anything. Be careful if they use the phone to disinfect it before other family members who are well, touch it. I wish them a speedy recovery and I pray you or other members of your family don't get it.

Thank you for your well wishes and prayers............l dont think l have ever seen them so quiet and still. They have no energy and are sleeping alot, they both have high fevers, runing noses, headaches and body aches, sore throats...............daughter has been vomiting while my son is complaining about his ears and a funny feeling in his tummy. Both the kids have hacking coughs which is also distrubing their sleep

seems like it will be a rough few days and maybe a mask for me or them is the answer oh well a moment at a time for now

once again thank you ..............and some hugs for you too

Thank you bebop...................not sure if the kids would even keep the masks on the way they are feeling............maybe a mask for me would be better idk...........with my last respiratory hospital stay being three weeks before they could get things under control am also a little scared.......... l so do NOT need to get this lungs need some TLC and some protection l am thinking

take care and l hope that you are fully recovered now

gentle hugs and prayers to you
