Yes, it's true... two people in our family were lucky enough to come down with the SWINE FLU!! Luckily, this did not hit until after our cruise (probably where it was contracted).
McKell started with a fever and sore throat. I took her to the Dr's where they tested her for strep. When that was negative, they sent us home and told us it was a "virus". (That is a vague term that means she is not positive for anything they can treat with antibiotics). Two days later she still had a fever. Back we went to the Dr's who now tested her for the flu. Guess what...positive. Only now she was too far into the illness to receive the antiviral,
Tamiflu. The next day, Ashley wakes up with a fever. She is always in denial about being sick because it is
inconvenient for her. She told me she did not have the flu and she already had "plans". After much debate (none of it good)...Kelsey and Ashley went to the Dr's to get tested. Ashley was positive, Kelsey was not. Ashley received the
Tamiflu and was better in a few days. Needless to say, we were the quarantined house in the neighborhood. No kids in or out for a week. Talk about a quiet house. Here's hoping we are done with the flu for the year....I should have shirts made...WE SURVIVED THE SWINE FLU!!
It's hard to believe that we have been married for 20 years!! I guess time flies when you're having fun. So here we are...20 years older, 4 kids, 1 dog, 1 bunny, 2 hamsters, a large house (and payment), and everything else that comes with being a family. The biggest difference (besides the hair), is that we are not just a couple...we are a family. Jason and I are truly soul mates. We met at the ripe old age of 14 and just grew in love from there. He is my better half. He's calm when I'm not, he's comforting when I'm crazy, he's practical when I'm impulsive (yes...this involves money), and he always makes me laugh. Here's to (at least) 20 more wonderful years. I love you Jase!
