good luck really I hope it works out ok and he feels better. have u tried giving him nurofen also bec do u know u can give both at the same time? I hope that he is better before u go into labour and it all works out ok. these things always happen at the worse times.

The doc says that so long as I'm not feeling symptoms, there is the possibility that I didnt catch it. He isnt sneezing and I made sure not to "share germs" with him today...

I don't have any nurofen, but my neighbor is going to bring some over for me in a little bit...

sponge him down, or put him in a luke warm bath (not cold, but not hot) and let him play there for a while. If necessary give him something he really likes to bribe him to stay in.

Send him a hug from me please !

how is he doing

Somewhat better, but not sure if thats just because of the acamol or because he is healing. Of course, this is after my husband took off of work to come home and watch him- he walks in and uriel is bouncing off the walls, cracking up, not lying listless like he had for the 3 hours beforehand...

Refuah Shelaima BiKarov to your son!
Swine flu is just another strain of flu. My daughter had it, and B"H no one at home caught it from her.
Warm wishes for lots of Koach, being sent your way!

He had a terrible night last night- waking every hour and not going back to sleep easily. So he was so overtired today. He seemed to have somewhat of a fever, but not insanely high- I didnt take his temperature. Aside from the overtiredness, he behaved fine and like himself today, but did throw up one time.

I have a sore throat now and a cough and a headache...

Seraph, if you have a way to get elderberry from the health food store, start taking it as soon as possible. It really helps with keeping the flu to a minimum, if you start taking it right away. (I took it when my dd had the flu this summer and my throat was huring. I had a low immune system at the time. B"H I didn't end up getting the flu.)
