Well, we had our first H1N1 scare today. Carter has been mildly sick for the past couple of days. Yesterday he started to run a fever with his cough and runny nose so I kept him home from preschool. Today his fever got worse (103.4 under the arm) and he started to act sick. He wasn't hungry and was tired. So, I called the nurse and she said he had to come see the doctor. Of course I start to freak out a bit. I mean these are some of the symptoms to the Swine Flu.
Once we saw the doctor he was more concerned about it being pneumonia. He did say that they could swab for the Swine Flu, but since Carter's throat didn't look red and he hadn't been complaining of a sore throat, he thought that it was just a virus.
Kids and sicknesses are so tricky. You don't want to drive you kids to the doctor every time they sneeze of cough, but you also don't want to overlook something that could be serious. If only God could give me a call when I really need to see a doctor.
