Swine Flu

As my last post mentioned I went to WWDC a couple of weeks ago, well while I headed to San Fran to get my Geek on, Nancy and Tyler took a trip to Utah to visit family.

The first part of the week they visited Nancy’s family and then the last part of the week they visited mine.

Right before Nancy and Tyler were going to fly home, Nancy tells me that Tyler is throwing up.
Great…. throwing up is not good in our house for more then the normal reasons, as Tyler throwing up only once has not been a sign of a Shunt malfunction.

Well now it is twice… it was not a shunt malfunction.

Good news right? Yes, and no.
Yes because he doesn’t deserve to go through another brain surgery.

Why bad?
Well as I was getting ready to leave to go pick them up at the airport my mom informs me that my little sister (who they just spent half a week with, mind you) has been diagnosed with the Swine Flu!

Yes… that’s right… the Swine Flu!

We immediately head from the airport to a night time pediatrics office and they put Tyler on some medication called Tamiflu which is supposed to help you get over the Swine Flu faster.
Tyler was pretty sick for about 2 days and then was back to good old normal happy Tyler.

Well around day 2 Nancy and I started feeling gross.
Another trip to the doctors and Nancy and I are also put on Tamiflu.

Unfortunately for us we didn’t get Tyler’s 2 day version and instead we are BOTH STILL sick!
At least at this point we don’t feel like we are going to die.
All the same symptoms still but just lessened to the normal “being sick” level.

According to the CDC we are supposed to stay away from people for at minimum 7 days, more if you still have symptoms. They say at least 24 hours after ALL your symptoms are gone.

So we are all still locked up in the house, feeling like crap.

I guess it serves me right for joking about the Swine Flu when it first came out….

Anyways, if you live nearby and want to bring us some food we will pay you and you don’t have to come in if you don’t want (food options are getting really boring). :-)
