H1N1
Everything has been going so well that I was thinking this Christmas would top all the others. My daughter calls to ask if I will be around so she can do her laundry and the girls can visit with me. Somewhere in the conversation she mentions that she had babysat till that morning keeping a sick toddler for a friend of hers who had an infant in the hospital with the swine flu! She didn't call it that because the friend only said her baby tested positive to influenza type A, which is the swine flu or also known as H1N1 type flu. Then my husband looked up the flu to see when it would be safe for her and the children to be among the population. Especially us! Ten days after last contact before you can be around others! ANd she had gone to work that day already! She was so sorry, she really thought she was doing a great thing for a friend who wanted to be with her baby in the hospital! Now she has ruined Christmas for her and the girls! I am so upset but atleast not crying myself sick over it. I've got to realize this is going to be ok and just see them another time. One of my sons has agreed to drop off food and presents at her door so they can still have some Christmas celebration. I pray all are being careful the swine flu is alive and well ! : /
