My son (6 years old) got really sick Fri. night/Sat. morning. I took him to urgent care yesterday - they did the test - and he tested positive for Swine Flu. He's a brittle asthmatic, so that's worrisome enough...they warned that the rest of the family will probably get it. Sure enough, as of last night, my other 2 sons (ages 10 and 3) have the same exact symptoms - fevers between 103-104 which are REALLY hard to get down even with meds, cool baths, etc., horrible hacking cough, all over pain, etc.
I know people will say it's no big deal - no differen than "regular" flu - but even if that's true (which it's not for my 6 year old) - what mom wants all 3 of her kids to have the flu at all, let alone at the same time?!
*sigh* want my babies better NOW. :(

I feel for you, I only have one child but she's already a handful when sick I can't imagine 3 sick kids at the same time!
Good thing about the swine flu is that most people recover within 3 to 4 days so hopefully that proves to be true for your boys and they will be better in no time.

Of course no one wants their child to be sick, ever, not sure what swine flu being just like regular flu has to do with anything.
I hope your LO's feel better asap.

I feel you.
My daughter was terribly sick last week. High fever for several days, all over pain, horrible cough, etc.
Now I have it and my son has it...

It's just that I posted last week about my 14 year old nephew having Swine Flu and someone posted that it's no big deal as it's no different than the "regular" flu - just felt like they were belittling my right to be worried. So, I was "nipping that in the bud" so to speak with this post.
Thanks everyone.
