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.
