Jordan and Dad hit the State Fair of Texas
Matt wasn't feeling 100%, so Dad and Jordan took the DART light rail to Fair Park to experience the great State Fair of Texas while Mom and Matt hung out at home. Some pictures from the day:

Quick update
Jordan is doing much better. On Tuesday night, both Dondi and Matt became sick. According to the pediatrician, Matt definitely didn't have the flu (it was a viral upper respiratory infection); Dondi's doctor didn't test her for anything, saying she likely had the flu. But, as she is not a candidate to receive tamiflu, she was told to go home and rest. She was back up and moving pretty quickly, so I personally don't think she had the flu, but most of my medical training came from the 1980s sitcom Doogie Howser, M.D., so maybe I'm wrong.
I woke up this morning with a sore throat and bad cough; fortunately my allergist sees patients on Saturday mornings and I went in. I have a viral upper respiratory infection (like Matt), and the early stages of a bacterial sinus infection.
So we're a real fun bunch, though we're not contagious. But it sounds like lungs are forever being hacked up over here. :)

Jordan and the flu
Jordan was diagnosed with the flu this morning. Seasonal or H1N1 is really unimportant (and they'll only submit samples for testing for which one it is if he ends up in the hospital).
He's very grouchy, but fortunately has Tamiflu, so hopefully that will keep the virus from multiplying within his body.... Fortunately, too, we were referred to an excellent pharmacy in Mansfield - Ray's Pharmacy - that was able to make a compound of the Tamiflu for Jordan, since the kids' supply is nonexistent. It was strange to see real pharmacists doing real pharmacist kind of work. Usually, at CVS or Walgreen's, you just see them pulling big bottles of something and pouring it into small bottles...
Sad thing is, in the hour we were at Ray's, there were five other kids needing Tamiflu.
We'll post if anything else comes up. Fortunately, reports are that the flu is pretty mild and most people are doing just fine after a rough couple of days.
