Charlotte has H1N1. Joy joy. Actually, think I might have gotten it as well, but mine wasn't accompanied by an actual fever. More like four hours of almost-fever followed by a week of coughing.
Char didn't get hit that hard at first either. She ran a fever last Thursday, and had two distincting vomitting sessions. By Friday mid-morning she was fever-free and by Saturday was in great spirits.
Then came Sunday. The fever was back, but lower, and she began coughing, sneezing, and sleeping for long stretches.
Today I took her to the pediatrician, and they confirmed the H1N1. And strep. Two for one. Tamiflu plus amoxycillin.
So far, Trystan has no symptoms for either plague. I'm knocking on every piece of wood that I can find, though, because he's been clingy and fussy tonight, glueing himself to whichever adult is closest.

Oh no! I hope you're all feeling better. I'll knock on some wood too, just in case. I'd be interested to hear whether or not you think the hype over H1N1 is justified or not, considering you're a "survivor".
