So now I feel like a bit of a jerk after poking fun at my husband yesterday with my “Man Cold” post. Turns out after a trip to the hospital, the doctor says he has the H1N1 flu virus! He’s not aloud to work this entire week so that means we all have to be around the crazy little cooties (yay for the rest of us). Let me tell you that this is just not fun. He’s STILL after 3 days got a fever and it’s not very responsive to motrin or tylenol. He’s got a cough and a few other symptoms I’ll spare you the details about. He’s been stuck in our room the past few days where I make him stay because we’re still holding out hope that the rest of us won’t get it but he’s also getting really bored and lonely. I’ve become a bit freakish about the germs and I’ve been washing all of our hands so much I’m surprised we have skin left. Okay, so not THAT freakish but on top of the major hand washing we’re also using hand sanitizers all the time AND clorox disinfectants have become my new best friend. I’m just praying that the kids don’t get it and how we’ve managed not to get it so far is beyond me but I’m certainly trying to keep it that way! Keep us in your prayers, this is going to be a VERY long week!

Oh no! I’m so sorry Miranda!
I’ve come to the realization that all of us will soon get it since it’s spreading like wild fire. I figure, once or IF we get it, I’ll be have a prepared mindset.
But chances are…. I won’t. I’ll just freak out.
Keep washing those hands and using those Clorox wipes.
OMG…I hope it doesn’t spread. My son just started preschool and we are getting the most buggaboos this week. I’ve been paranoid about the swine flu forever…
Oh no! Well I hope he starts feeling better and that no one else gets it!
Oh no, your poor hubby
I’ll be praying that the rest of you don’t get it.
I’ve prayed that the rest of you don’t get it. Lord please let hubby feel better…
praying for you all!
Praying he gets better soon and that the rest of you don’t get sick.
Oh man! I hope he starts feeling better soon! And I will send “no one else gets sick” thoughts your way for sure!!
When my son got the Swine Flu a few months back it lasted nine days and he had the fever all nine days. But Motrin helped for a few hours here and there. Sorry he’s sick! I hope you all stay healthy.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry! I hope you all don’t get it and your hubs recoups soon from this!!
I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope all goes well with your family.
Hubbies are no fun when they are sick! Hope he gets feeling better soon and doesn’t pass it around to the rest of you!
WOW! Oh WOW! That’s terrible! I wish him a speedy recovery! I also hope the rest of your family stays “Swine” free.
