Well poop.

We had to cancel our trip to California. Chris, Ave and Rosa are all sick with what we think is the swine flu. We don't know for certain though but we aren't taking any chances.

The babies and I haven't gotten sick, yet. I am being very careful about washing hands and keeping everyone apart. Chris, Ave, Rosa are pretty much quarantined in their own rooms until they have no more temperature. Ave and Rosa aren't doing too badly actually--they just have high temps. Chris on the other hand is feeling terrible. He is all congested and coughing, he's weezing and just generally feeling like crap. I'm giving him until Monday morning and if he hasn't improved significantly he is going to the doctor. It's interesting that the swine flu is supposed to be really bad for children, but every kid I know that has had it has basically felt mostly fine except for a high temperature and like one day of yuckiness. All the adults I know who have had it have just been laid out, completely debilitated. It's interesting. I just hope I am lucky enough for it to pass over me, and the babies. I don't usually catch things and I've been pretty good about staying away from A/R/C. We shall see. Hope Hope Hope!

Thinking about it, I'm not really sure what I would do if I did get it and it laid me out like it's done to Chris. Clearly I couldn't be around the babies...I'm hoping that if I do get it, that Chris is better by that time. We shall see.
