H1N1 Has Taken Over Our House
Sweet Doodle
Would you pray for us? Early last week we were hit with H1N1 (it’s been confirmed with a swab test), and it’s still hanging on.
Pumpkin Doodle seems better at this point, but Sean just got it last night, and Monkey Doodle’s cough returned with a vengeance. I’m not sure if Sunshine Doodle’s is still progressing or if we’ve already seen the worst of it, but obviously we’re watching her very carefully.
I haven’t gotten a good night’s sleep all week, and I’m running on fumes. Prayer would be much appreciated.
My husband got this last week. He has been miserable! But I have amazingly kept my boys and I from getting it. My secret has been giving my two young boys (ages 2 & 3) Emergen-C powdered vitamin drinks. Their doctor gave the OK on this. These are at most major stores. I give them one a day and I take one or two. I am also taking Zicam for myself. That is a dose of zinc. I am also making sure the 3 of us get plenty of rest.
I don’t know if this will help you guys but everyone has been amazed that I have kept the 3 of us healthy for over a week living with someone who has H1N1. Hope that helps!!
Mandi, prayers are already said for your family! I’ve been watching my friends on FB drop like flies these past 2 weeks from H1N1. We have remained healthy. I pray we stay that way! Take care of those babies!!!
So sorry to hear that your family is sick! One thing you said in your post caught my attention–when you said that Monkey Doodle’s cough returned with a vengence. One of the things we were told to watch for is if the child seems to get better, but then gets much worse, that could mean they have a secondary infection in the lungs and should be checked out by a doctor right away. I am not sure if that is what happened with your little one, but thought I would pass on the information we were given. I hope everyone starts feeling better very soon.
Mandi, I’m to hear that you guys are all sick. Many prayers are coming your way.
Praying for you and all your little doodles.
Oh dear. Prayihg for your troops.
Praying.
Mandi,
Keeping you and those cute doodle girls in our thoughts and prayers. I know it’s hard but you try and get as much rest as you can. Take care of yourselves.

Thinking and praying for you. We have had the flu for two weeks and although I don’t know that it was H1N1, we have been truly miserable. Thankfully, we seem to be getting better now. Sending prayers your way that your family gets to feeling better soon!
