I posted earlier about Brianna having bronchitis... amazingly, we must have caught it right away because she was up and running and fever free by the next day! Zach, on the other hand, is a different story...
Poor guy started getting sick the night after his birthday. He had the chills, body aches, and coughing. When he woke up the next morning, he was running a fever, so we kept him home. He pretty much slept all day and then tried to get up today to go to school... luckily I was home to stop him! He had a temperature of 102.3!! We got in to see the doctor this morning. He doesn't have bronchitis, but possibly a cold or influenza... they aren't testing for H1N1 anymore because it costs too much and Iowa City isn't even processing the tests anymore because they have been too overwhelmed with them! Anyone with influenza symptoms is advised to stay home and ride the virus out. They don't even want to give Tamiflu, unless someone in the house is pregnant, diabetic, or going through chemotherapy treatment... so Zach gets to stay home til the fever goes away. Oddly, his temp was almost normal at the doctor's office! He was also sweating, so perhaps he has broken the fever and is on the downside of this illness!! Keep your fingers crossed!
