H1N1 - Really???

So we have been having a really good week so far. On Saturday we went to Tony's parents to watch the BYU game and then his mom watched our kids so we could go to dinner and a movie to celebrate our 6 year anniversary. A couple of Tony's sisters kids were there and Tyler just loves playing with them. A couple of their siblings had strep, so they didn't go to grandmas. Then on Sunday one of the kids that Tyler played the most with on Saturday said that he wasn't feeling good. So his parents took him in and he had strep and croup.
So I was watching Tyler to see if he was getting symptoms of either of these things. On Tuesday night he started getting a fever and then had a really hard time sleeping. So I called his doctor and she said to bring him in, so I got an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. She did a strep test and it came back negative. She checked his ears and they were fine and then she asked if I wanted her to do a flu test. I figured since we were there and he was already miserable that we might as well. Well, she came back and said that the flu test came back positive. So I said "When you say flu, what do you mean?" and then she said the Swine Flu. I started crying, I couldn't believe it. I have tried to be so careful and not take my kids many places so that they wouldn't get it and here I was at the doctors for strep and it come back swine flu. She said that I should keep the baby away from Tyler. She suggested that I take Tyler to a grandparents house, but I couldn't ask anyone to take my sick kid so that they can get sick too.
So Tony called his boss and took the next couple of days off and he is taking care of Josh and I am taking care of Tyler. I really hope that I don't get it too, but since I was the one exposed to him all day I thought it would be best. He is doing pretty okay for being sick. Mostly wants me to hold him and that is okay. The main problem is that he HATES taking medicine. We try to force it down him and he just spits it back up. So I have been putting it in his drink and trying to make him drink it all. He gets the medicine much slower, but I just don't know what else to do. We have already wasted two doses of the Tamaflu because he spit it back up when we gave it to him. That is expensive stuff - $36 for Tyler's prescription. I hear that it works really good, so that makes it worth every penny. It has been a long night with a lot of up an downs and now Tyler is wide awake and so am I. I sure hope he takes a couple naps today and starts feeling better.
I also hope that my mom doesn't get sick because she had Tyler at her house on Tuesday while I was at work. I would feel really bad if she got sick. If he had shown any symptoms of being sick I wouldn't have even gone into work, but of course he was his happy self the whole day. Lets just hope and pray that Josh doesn't get sick -- that would be the worst!
