Deadly Flu Charging Across the Nation
Had a flu shot? You'll be OK - Maybe
Flu: Saving your child's life
Flu deaths increasing in children
How does a parent NOT panic when all you hear are these headlines? You really have to dig deep to finally come up with a few that provide some, not much, but some comfort.
Cases down in some areas
But for me, it's just not comforting enough so I am here to admit....
I am THAT mom.
My headline wasn't a joke. If they sold bubbles I'd likely be one of the first few in line. I know there are others worse than I am but I have resorted to even having Teagan skip gymnastics and other sports where the facilities are just a bit too close for comfort. And this weekend? Yup, we're having a stay at home weekend! No playdates and limited shopping excursions. See? Told you I was THAT mom. :)
It seems to be such a fine line between just a cold or mild flu to the full blown flu curse. All the news stories talk of the quick attack and demise of the immune system. So I'm on alert and armed with lots of vitamin C, Zinc gummy bears, hand sanitizer and Clorox Wipes.
We will stay healthy! We will stay healthy!
Cheers to you and your health!
a votre santé
