Last night I was fretting about SS15 coming over here with H1N1 because I did not want any of us gettng sick this weekend. We have huge plans to go to a charity benefit for my aunt with stage four breast cancer, she lives in florida and will be back in the midwest this weekend and would like to see her while she is back in case it is a long time before seh can make it back. And I would like if myself and my boys did not get it right now because we have asthma, and my 5yo has been attack free for over a year and currently off meds for asthma and I did not want this flu bringing on a new attack for him, or more attacks for me, I already have enough. I also dont want to bring the flu into my work I work with mentally and physically handicapped adults, they just got over one virus and some have fragile health and are elderly I would feel bad exposing them again.
I was hoping BM would be considerate of all this and keep him home. AND HOLY COW MARK YOUR CALANDERS SHE DID...not for our sake but so he could rest better at her house in his own room, without our 5 and 2 yo buggin him. We've been trying to tell the kids that when they are sick it is hard to rest here so If BM lets thems tay there, Stay there. Shit I would stay somewhere else when I was sick to get rest if I could but have to take care of the kids so I can't. And she kept him at her house!!! :):-):smile:
But the irony or bad karma on my part was two hours later my 5 yo spikesd a fever and lost his appetite. But today our 5yo is fine. Eating halloween candy, and driving me bonkers!!!But home sick becasue he has to be fever free for 24hours before returning to school. It just goes to show me that all my worrying is sometimes for nothing and not to get my panties in a bunch next time.

And maybe after 11 years BM has come to her senses and will be reasonable with the right amount to communication and encouragement. She actually considered her son first for once.
(and spared me all the gross germs flying all over my house for now...)
