Well, if you haven't had the swine flu yet. . . I think I can safely let you know that it stinks! The last week and a half has been filled with it in our family and it's still going. Starts with congestion and runny nose then moves into the chest for a deep cough. Rachel laid on the couch for an entire week. I was so happy the day she smiled and got up to play with Emily. I got sick and tried to be strong. I am sure Nathan would attest to the complete opposite as I called him each day practically begging him to come home so I could just lie in bed. He even skipped his bishopric meetings one night so I could do just that.
Anyway, while Rachel and I have served our time in the torture chamber, Nate, Ben, and Emily have just begun. Hang in there guys. I have to admit I am a little paranoid. The news makes you think that you might die if you get this flu. So far we are still living. . . apparently defying the odds. I was going to get my whole family vaccinated but I guess we got it done for free. Just have to sacrifice our comfort. Dang Swine Flu!!!!!!!!!

I have tried to find vaccinations. They are very tough to get hold of. You can only get the nasal spray in Utah right now but if you have asthma you can't get the spray. Defeats the purpose of taking my kids because 3 of them have asthma. And they are the ones I would worry about getting it.
By the way, hope you feel better soon!
Your poor little family! I'm just hoping HOPING that we don't get it. My pediatrician is anti-flu shots, including swine flu. The news does make it sound dire. Monkey is such a little lightweight that I worry about her getting sick yet. And I'm newly pregnant (shhh, not common knowledge yet, just 8.5 wks along)...so I don't think I could even get vaccinated anyhow.
Anyhow, hope you all live through it : )
