This picture sums everything up pretty well actually. Let's start from the beginning...
Last Saturday (Halloween): Steve wakes up with a fever of 101.5. He gets sicker as the day goes on; cold chills, aches, dizziness.
Sunday: Same as the day before.
Monday: We take him to the doctor's to get him tested for Swine Flu and for a doctor's note. They confirm it's Swine Flu...luckily we had already started him on Tamaflu Saturday night.
Tuesday: Steve starts feeling a little better, but still takes the day off of work. Teigan wakes up burning!! We take her temp. and it's over 100.0. We take her to the doctor's and they test her for Swine Flu but the doctor thinks it Croop. We take her home and give her some medicine for the fever and she just sleeps all day.
Wednesday: Steve goes back to work. Teigan still has a pretty high fever but she's up and running. Finally at 5:30 that evening the doctor's call back and confirm the Swine Flu for Teigan! They fax in a perscription for Tamiflu but my pharmacy was all out until the next afternoon!
Thursday: I am finally able to start Teigan on Tamiflu and cough medicine.
Friday: Teigan's fever has been gone since Wednesday night. She's finally starting to act normal...
Saturday: Teigan just coughs at night and has a bit of a runny nose during the day. But no fever!!
Sunday: We were able to go to church as a family!! And the QUARANTINE has been lifted from our home!!
*WHEW! It was an exausting week for all of us. I've gone through the house and disinfected EVERYTHING I can think of at least twice! I am forcing everyone to wash their hands all the time and use hand sanitizer for everthing! I'm just thankful that I haven't gotten sick...thank you vaccination. I just don't want to have any left-over germs around when Sawyer comes...I can't deal with anymore sickness!!!! AHHH!
