Swine Flu – a different perspective

Ketchup started a fever on November 1^st and thus began our families’ journey with the swine flu. God protected us from the worst of it, so I can lightheartedly look back at it. Here’s our take

Days 1 & 2 – spent in bed either asleep or watching TV. Mommy got some good facebook time in while Ketchup watched her shows.

Days 3 & 4 – We progressed to playing board games or Webkinz. Ketchup also enjoyed playing hairstylist/makeup artist to Mommy.

Days 5 – 7 – spent by the window staring at the other kids play. In between coughing fits, she would beg to join them.

Finally we were able to venture out of the house for a couple of days before Mommy had her turn. My bout with the flu was cut in half thanks to the God-given drug Tamiflu. The doctor was also kind enough to prescribe it as a preventative for Daddy and Bounce.

I progressed in the same order as Ketchup just with fewer days. I thought it was funny that I was playing hairstylist for their crazy hair day at AWANA just as Ketchup had done for me the week prior.

Although life was interrupted for a short while, we were able to have a little fun with H1N1.
