Here’s the thing… it is hard not to be a hypochondriac in this day!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
H1N1… do my kids have it? There are so many misconceptions of it. It is scaring everyone silly.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The story of the little hockey player who died of it… it is stories like this that help with the panic.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Saturday… Zach is up and ready to play hockey. He is so excited. I watched him get all his equipment on. I loved watching his zest for life. He played. Had a great time. He gets in the car… and for whatever reason I feel him… he is burning up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just like that. He wasn’t sick as he was dressing. I would have picked it up. I was right beside him. Then you read this story. Hockey and H1N1 and the death shouldn’t be tied together. The boy sadly died of the H1N1. Hockey was a side line.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I hesitate to take my kids in… usually knowing it will be viral and there will be nothing that can be done. I took Josh in yesterday. Honestly… I was a little panic. He is so little. He is burning up for so many days in a row. He is so still. What if? He ends up having pneumonia.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then I wonder what about the other two? How will I know if they have pneumonia?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then there is me. As I understand it, H1N1 symptoms are fever, cough, headaches, much like the flu bug… but what set’s it apart is the respiratory distress. I have not been feeling well for a week. But I feel now like I have a low grade fever, still a headache and today…. my chest feels a bit full. I call my doc. As I repeat how I am feeling, she says you have the symptoms for H1N1. They can’t see me till Thursday. I am to give them a call and see how I feel by then.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Now as I am driving home, I feel wheezy. I can feel it. I feel asthmatic. Oh my gosh… I am gonna die?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
See what I mean? Panic. I call Sanj. He leaves on Thursday for Florida.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Can I wait till Thursday to see my doctor? Sanj is calm. “Try you puffer,” he tells me.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He doesn’t seem to worried. So I am going to be fine. If any one should worry, it would be him. Right? He would have to father and MOTHER his 6 sons if I am taken away.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Breathe. I am crazy. Yah. I know.<\/div>\n
