My 14 y/o daughter has the flu. Been in bed for 1 day now, the usual symptoms - temp, congestion, dizzy, achy, and so on. Called the doctor who said to just treat it like any old flu - rest, fever-reducer, liquids.

My 10 y/o son has a very swollen lymph node under his jaw. Doctor says he has probably caught the flu too, his body is fighting back.

I think that any flu at this point is almost surely swine flu. (I've read that 90% of local flu cases currently are H1N1.)

Every family I know of, where a child has caught swine flu, the whole family gets it.

So, it seems a pretty good chance that I'll have the disease soon. Oh joy.
