Man, what a week it's been. Last Sunday morning, about 2am, Joshua woke me up and he had a fever. Temp of 103 found us in the dr office the next morning. Joshua was diagnosed with the H1N1 flu and sent home to be out of school for the week. I was quickly put on Tamiflu to protect me and the baby from becoming ill. Gary took Tuesday and Wednesday off work to stay home with Joshua and Zachary so that I could work my scheduled hours. Joshua is feeling better now and his temps aren't going above 100.5 anymore, but his mouth has broken out in blisters. He's miserable. His gums are swollen and painful and he has blisters on his lips. Took him back to the doctor yesterday and we were told that it's a viral reaction to the fevers he ran. We are using lidocaine jelly to numb up his mouth prior to eating, he lost 2 1/2 pounds in 3 days because he wasn't eating.
Gary did get a laugh out of Joshua when he told him that if his room wasn't such a pig sty, he wouldn't have gotten the swine flu! Ha ha daddy!!
