H1N1 Virus

Well we had the H1N1 Virus run through our house during the last two weeks. Basically it's a pretty nasty bug. My wife got it as well as my five year old. I was reading about it a bit - basically the H1N1 Virus feels like a cold, but you also have a fever. You develop a really nasty cough as well as the fever. For some reason teenagers and similar age groups are having a tough time of it. Things like cough syrup don't really help. As far as the H1N1 Virus goes - it seems to go pretty quickly. 4 of us are in the house, only 2 got it - and boy was i exposed to H1N1...

My two children and I all had H1N1 in late october as well. Fortunately my husband did not contract it. I was shocked. But yes, it was a nasty virus. It took all the energy out of me. Being sick taking care or sick was a true challenge. I am a stay at home mom to start with, and so this really put me to the test!!! My 7 yr old and I had very similar cases, while my 3 yr old had a lighter case, but was also vomitting. It was a long long 9 days. But the good thing about it..... we don't need to get the vaccination now! Woot!! Keep antibacterial hand gels with you at all times!!
