At least it’s not the bird flu
February 28, 2008 on 3:35 pm | In random | 4 CommentsI took the day off yesterday to study for finals and write a paper. I’m really glad I did, because when I woke up yesterday morning, Brandon had a high fever and the classic signs of the flu. He never gets sick. Really, never. But apparently this was the sickest he’s ever been. So we drove to the student health clinic and he tested positive for the flu. Did you know they have a test for that? That’s so cool. We’re getting to a point in healthcare where it’s going to get hard for kids to fake illnesses. Good thing I escaped childhood before that happened or I would have had to go to school way more.
Anyway, so yeah. The flu really sucks. But Brandon was able to start taking Tamiflu within 24 hours of symptoms, so I’m hoping he gets better fast. Oh, and I hear that the flu shot I got in November is useless, because a different strand of the flu is going around than the three strands I was vaccinated against. At least I tried.
