Swine Flu

The swine flu has come to the McCauley house! I got a call from the nurse at Jim Darcy School Wednesday morning so I had to go pick up our girl. She was absolutely miserable with a fever, sore throat and cough. After a couple days of alternating Motrin and Tylenol, I took her to the doctor this morning. I don't know why I was surprised about the diagnosis of swine flu considering Helena has been experiencing quite an epidemic the last couple weeks....but I was pretty surprised. She seemed to be getting much better this morning, but is back to feeling a little miserable this evening. The worst of it seems to be her sore throat....she is having a hard time eating and sleeping (and, by extension, so are Marc and I!). So, if you have a few minutes, could you please say a little prayer for my sweet girl? And, while you're at it, could you please add a little prayer that the rest of us don't catch this awful virus?
