So what's up with that....

So she comes home from school. Tells Nanny she's not feeling well.. she has some pain in her belly but nothing major and off to sleep she goes? When I get home its pretty much the same thing. Laying in my bed sleeping off and on. Not much energy at all. OMG is it the start of H1N1... there were 13 kids out sick today in her class alone. By 9pm a fever is starting to show. Motrin to bring down the fever and off to sleep we go. I wake up almost every 1/2 an hour to put my hand on her head... she feels warm not overly hot and no cough... no nothing. By 5am she's up and looking for something to help her.... the fever is up to 102 but still no cough, no trying to throw up... no her body doesn't ache either. More Motrin to bring the fever down. By 8am she's feeling great but she's having trouble pee'ing.... OH! its a track infection... oh wonderful... its minor and expected since she still has trouble. I'll write it down on the calender to remind me when we take her back to Urology in Dec... they'll want to know.
But since the H1N1 is so strong and like 10,000 kids were out of school in the HRM region yesterday I'm going to say "oh its just a UTI... its not the big H1N1 that we fear so much that she'll get". Pretty sad when the fear of the H1N1 has taken away the serious issues of a UTI and we can just say "oh its just a UTI... we can deal with that" at one time a UTI would put us into total fear of kidney scares but its nothing now that we know what to deal with... we just do what we do... deal with it.
Stay away from her H1N1..... PLEASE!
