Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
DD was up all night coughing and now has a fever of 102. I am ready to keep both my boys home from school today.
Am I the only paranoid one?
I am taking her to the ped at 11.

Re: Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
I wouldn't say I'm paranoid, but I am being overy cautious with DD (and I'm usually not like this). A rainy day like today I would go walk around the mall with her or something, but I'm not going to do that today.
I hope your DD feels better and it's nothing serious.

Well, I don't think you are paranoid given that DC is sick, this sounds like the smart thing to do.
I am not paranoid, but if DS had a cough and fever, I would call his doctor also.
Good luck, hopefully this is just a bad cold.

Yes, especially since I live a few blocks away from SFP & the public school that closed.

Re: Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
Paranoid no. Cautious, absolutely!
But I would be even if it was the regular flu.
I am not sure why people try to minimize the potential issue. IT IS an issue. And it would be an issue whether it's the regular flu or the Swine flu.

Re: Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
YES....
But I asked my Ped about it on Tuesday and she said not to worry about it. I am a total handwashing nazi anyway, and I don't let people touch or hold Sasha who have not been "sanitized".
I have warned DH to wash his hands a lot at work, and he is also traveling internationally next week and I am going to make sure he has a bottle of Purell in every pocket!

Not paranoid. DD also had fever and a lovely cough - turns out she has strep. I think it may be going around as the doctors office had a nice big box of strep tests sitting out on the desk in the room

Re: Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
Take her to the ped but let them know her symptoms before going in, they may want to bring you right in as to not have her in the waiitng room.
I am very concerned/worried about this. I have read enough to know this is a very serious health threat with a lot of severe potential (repeat - Potential, not so much what it IS now).

Re: Anyone else totally paranoid about Swine Flu?
I wasnt really, but then being PG and not being able to take much makes me nervous. I heard there was a possible "case" in Deeer Park ( no idea if this was confirmed) and DH's whole family lives there( including a ton of kids in the schools) and we are seeing them all on Sunday and Im actualy a bit worried. I'm usually very very laid back about these things. But When I'm PG, Im just scared about everything I come into contact with.
