Wish It Was Swine Flu

Miles woke up today with a fever and a cough. I made an appointment with the doctor for a flu test assuming he had finally gotten what 75% of his school already had. One of his teachers had warned me earlier in the week that the virus is quickly making its way through the school. We went in and got the swab, which was less than pleasant for Miles and then had to wait for his "negative" result. They also swabbed him for strep, poor kid, which also came back negative! It just figures that the H1N1 is infecting every school age child and my kid manages to still pick up some other random virus. Unfortunately, Miles usually gets 106 degree fevers with viruses and this one already started out with 102-103. They also usually last for a week or more. So now I say "I wish it was the swine flu" cause at least he would be better in 2-3 days with the Tamiflu. Now we just sit and wait...........

at least he's a good sport. (Miles wanted to rest in a "tent bed" under the coffee table.)
