I am so scared of taking my baby out right now, especially with the flu season. I talk to pharmacy staff all day at my work , and so i have a reason or two to be nervous, man they are getting swamped with orders for the swine flu antibiotics! I was talking to a pharmacist from WV today and she stated they were out of the swine flu vaccine in the area and there was a school that was closed. I mean it felt like an outbreak.
Eli is 4 months old and his well baby checkup is on Thursday. I am freaking out about taking him to the Dr’s office. I like going there first thing in the morning when the waiting room isn’t that packed, but this appointment is in the afternoon. If it was my older one, i won’t be so paranoid, but this is the baby, his immune system is still not quite developed yet.
I walk past people in the stores, and they sneeze or cough and i get nervous… This swine flue is making me go crazy. Yeah, i know it isn’t really that different from the regular seasonal flu, but it is the buzz it is getting from all over the place . The other day i read on yahoo, CDC reported about 79 deaths on children. We haven’t had the swine flu vaccine yet, and I am not sure if they still have some left here in Missouri.
I plan on calling Children Mercy to find out if they still have it, so Julian can get it.
So far we have been taking our vitamins, Julian is taking Vitamin D daily, Eli is on the Trivisol. We are washing our hands religiously as well. So we are just doing what we can, but just like any disease, if we do get sick, we will just have to deal with it. Hopefully, they won’t run out of the Tummy Flu either.
Stay safe!
