All in all had to post because it (swine flu) hasn't been too bad. I was hysterical when I found out, we have been anxiously awaiting our inoculations (which arrived ironically yesterday at clinic.) Kelly is 6 months into LTM for ALL, has had a couple of rough months due to upped doses of chemo. Our troubles began Sunday - fever, trip to ER, bag of antibiotics but good counts ANC 1700, released. No fever after that, back to school on Tuesday, home at 12, 3 hour nap, woke with fever and major diarrhea. Back to ER - positive for pneumonia after chest xray, positive flu (they believe the pig variety) ANC of 200 (WBC only .9) and admitted yesterday. We've been on Tamiflu, antiobiotics, etc., but all said has not been that bad. Kelly's only complaint is having her "tubies" in, she loves having mom or dad or childlife playing with her, and she really other than a bad cough doesn't seem as sick as she is. Thought I would post because we have been terrified of the swine flu, but from the exact words of our oncologist - "look at this way, at least you get it overworth, done, out of the way, no more worry."
