Life after swine flu

Yes - we got it, the dreaded H1N1 or SWINE FLU. It was everything they said it would be and worse. Porter and Charley got hit with it bad, Makenna had a little bit different symptoms - but I believe just a milder version. They had the whole list: high fever, chills, aches, pains, sore throats, constant moaning and groaning that turned into the coughing and runny nose, even some diarrhea, YIKES! We made it through though and now I believe there is life after swine flu (I wasn't so sure for a while there)! Porter was out of school for 7 days (that didn't include his sick time over the weekend) and Makenna was in and out of school over the course of a week and a half. Their coughs are finally cleared up and they are completely back to normal (as normal as we ever were). So here's a voice of warning coming from a once stressed out, exhausted Mom (I'm rested and relieved now) - do whatever you can to protect your family from this thing!
