Coughing...
both my children are coughing again. Ainsley started running a fever last night so I kept her home from school this morning. She has no fever this morning either but because the school recommends that there be no fever for 24 hours she is home. I have been second guessing myself...I know they just have colds, but I called the pediatricians office to double check. The nurse said it is not flu and just to keep an eye on her, push fluids, and don't be surprised if the fever comes back this afternoon. Aidan's teacher is once again giving him the 3rd degree about if he has fever and what medicines he has been taking. If I kept him home for every cold, he would miss school weeks at a time! This whole flu thing is driving me crazy. We are using our best precautions. The kids had the seasonal flu vaccine, but no H1N1 vaccines have been available. Frustrating.

I went back and forth on getting Kennedy the H1N1 vaccine. I knew I did not want her to get the live mist. I decided to go with the shot instead. Well, no doctor's offices have them. Only the health department does. They are free, but they have a limited number each day and they have certain guidelines for getting the shot. Luckily, Kennedy is the right age and since I work in a childcare facility, I was able to get one. They had 500 shots on Monday. Kennedy and I got there at 11ish and we were #92 and #93. In and out in less than 10 minutes. Check with your health department! Maybe they have some.
