CrUd...as in the boys have been confirmed to have the H1N1 crud. It's been a mind boggling last couple of weeks with Dawson and Dexter beginning their sickness Oct. 22-23.
Yes, one of the days was the scheduled day for school pictures :(
Then, this week, 5 days after our first go around with sick bugs I noticed Dexter starting to look frightful..peaked with dark circles under his eyes. So after battling fevers for another couple of days I decided it was in Dexter's best interest to pay a visit to his pediatrician. Was it lingering germs or a new bug? I feared he was in the beginning stages of pneumonia, which he seems to be quite susceptible too. THANK GOD! Dexter's lungs were clear-not even a wheeze:) But the high fever and other symptoms led the Dr. to do a rapid influenza A test. The accuracy of the test wasn't promising...it takes 15 min. to run & only catches 40% of the positives. Well, after 6 min. Dexter's test was leaning toward a big fat +! He was prescribed Tamiflu in hopes of limiting the duration and complications from the virus. Dawson wasn't swabbed for the bug but it should be assumed he's got the same infestation! I hate to speak too soon but at this time Jaxson seems to be able to roll in the germs and have an indestructible body armour-immune system.
Only time will tell....Stay Healthy!
Prayers greatly appreciated

Good Luck!!! We think it is finally better in Memphis, but it took time at school.
