the dreaded diagnosis
yesterday buxton had a pretty high temperature so we took him to the doctor. his flu test came back negative but his symptoms (red eyes, congestion, fever) led to the dreaded diagnosis of swine flu. yup, we have the H1N1. i've been worried about this since the horrible news reports started months ago. and i may feel a little relieved that we are getting it behind us, especially since we caught it early. buxton started tamiflu last night and my dr. promises that this flu won't be nearly as bad as i think. she stated that the media has us all "swine flu crazed" -cause that is what the media does best right! when buxton isn't sleeping he's pretty irritable and we are having to keep tylenol in him to stave off the 103 fevers. but i'm hopeful this will pass quickly and that by some miracle ben and i don't get it too. thanks for your prayers and have a lovely weekend. kristin

thanks for your sweet message. it's good to be reminded that we are not alone it this.
praying for your sweet buxton...that this flu will move quickly through his system and that God will protect you and ben from it.
i would love to help, but probably not wise for pregnant lady to come near. :)
poor little Buxton! Oh my goodness I am so sorry to hear that. Its so true about the media hyping things up. My doctor told us that the H1N1 has been milder than the regular flu in most cases. I hope that is the case with sweet boy and I really hope you and Ben stay healthy. Lots of love to you guys!!
Oh my goodness! Poor little man, and poor parents. I hope he is on the mend now!
