Well, the regular flu and the swine flu have invaded our area. Apparently there had been a lot of absences in the schools in the last two weeks because of the flu. When Jojo and I got our flu shots from his pediatrician last Wednesday, the nurse told us that they had been working through their lunch hour during the past three weeks due to the number of children sick with the flu. This is just way too early a season for the flu, and too many kids affected. Needless to say, we are very worried, especially because of our exposure to sick/high risk people at work. We have resorted to wearing a mask at home, even Austin, in the first sign of a scratchy throat, stuffy nose or such. We also pretty much canceled whatever appointments Jojo has the rest of the year until Spring. It's sad that Jojo will have to be confined to the house more. But what can you do when your child's life and health is complicated by SMA?
Jojo is keeping himself busy with his computer, watching TV (finally got Dish Network. We love, rather, Jojo loves it and especially the DVR.), and he is interested again in his Vtech games. Last Sunday, we even got to take him to Nana's for a Sunday dinner with the family; something we haven't done for a while. And what do you know, of course we had to take his computer with us!
oh I hear you with the flu, its going to be a duel flu season (fun...not) were staying in for now as well, but we always have fun so im sure it will go fast. I love Skys Vsmile, he go a new game wow wow wuzubby (sp?) and has already beat it. I hope you all will say healthy this flu season, we will always hold you all in our prayers!!! Jojo you look wonderful!!! Sheila and Sky
ReplyDeleteWe are really worried about the flu around here as well. Junior is already house bound this year and uses a mask for any necessary drs visits.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your video games Jojo.
