Hopefully Now Immune

That Tamiflu stuff rocks. Critter is back at day camp. She is currently attempting to feed me toy food.

Swine Flu!

Naomi was complaining on Tuesday morning about feeling crappy. She's a bit of a drama queen and hypochondriac so we generally don't take her too seriously. I reached over to touch her forehead and she felt really hot; when I checked her temp she was over 100, so this time at least she was authentically sick. Shannon stayed home with her yesterday; today we tag teamed. I'm much more of a worry wort about this stuff than Shannon so I had her set up a doctors appointment for Naomi and I. We headed off to the doctors where she tested positive for Influenza A. The doctor said it's everywhere now, and almost certainly swine flu. Since swine flu hasn't turned out to be a particularly nasty flu bug I'm not too worried. She is going to be out of school until next Monday though, and with our luck we're going to get it next.

Dave is Mowing

Happy Father's Day - now go mow the lawn!
He did get a bike ride in this morning, though.

Travel, Lots and Lots of Travel

I've been gone most of the last two weeks on one work trip or another. The first had the advantage of being in the UK, and therefore of involving many pints of good beer. The second had no such redeeming features. Both ended in long, unpleasant trips home. But hey, no plane crashes, so good enough.

Dave had dog- and kid-duty whilst I was gone. I spent today going from the Pediatrician to the Pharmacist the Vet. Antibiotics all around! Also, Naomi has apparently completely forgotten how to clean up after herself. You may be sure that she has been reminded with some vehemence. What can I say? I do suspect a causal relationship.

Added Saturday: last night Naomi had a middle of the night asthma attack, and today she was stung by a bee after practice. Kid can't catch a break!
