H1N1

Swine Flu has hit our home. Jack woke up last Sunday morning feeling terrible and suffering from a 104 fever. He had two pretty rough days on Sunday and Monday, but has been improving steadily since. Today he seems about 70% himself. We saw our pediatrician yesterday and he said we're out of the woods - Jack is beyond the phase where there would be any complications from the flu.

Sadie also got H1N1, but only a very mild case of an intestinal virus. It doesn't seem to be slowing her down one bit. I think she's much more bothered by Jack being the center of attention. She's even tried a fake-sounding cough a couple of times when we've been focused on Jack.

The good news is that Jack's immune system seems be getting better and better at fighting off illness. Our pediatrician was very happy that the flu didn't cause Jack to develop bronchitis. We're crossing our fingers that we might get a few month respite from the pediatrician's office some time soon.
