I have suspected Swine flu and
Xander has gastroenteritis.
I started to get sick on Friday and was on
Tamiflu by Friday night. They haven't taken blood or anything. I haven't even seen a doctor! It's just a mass treatment for anyone with flu-like symptoms (must include a fever).I had to answer yes or no questions on an online website and they gave me a "yes, you may have swine flu, here is your reference number to pick up some antivirals. Please send someone other than yourself to pick them up and quarenteen yourself to your home for at least five days."
To be honest, I think I have what
Xander has. It's too much of a coincidence that all our symptoms are the same except I have a fever and he doesn't.
We were at A&E with
Xander on Saturday as it was coming out of both ends for hours. It's so so hard to see your little boy heaving. He looked so confused and in so much pain. Nick just held him and
aimed a kidney bowl the direction of the main stream. I wasn't allowed in the hospital but I popped in for a second to give provisions (extra clothes, etc) and they made me wear a mask. To be honest, I shouldn't have driven, I wasn't really all there.
It's now Sunday night. I'm feeling much better. But
Xander is still throwing up and out of sorts. We're giving him an electrolyte to help hydrate him.
We're supposed to fly to Canada on Wednesday. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
As for last week when we were better:
