More H1N1

This weekend wasn't the greatest weekend for us. Mike started having "complications" Friday night & we decided that we would hold off on anything until Saturday because we weren't quite sure if it was bad or just the antibotic doing its job. Saturday morning he was still having this problem, so we called the Dr. & he told us to go to either the Instacare or the ER. We had some neighbors come over & give Mike a blessing & then headed to the ER. I had to stay outside because I had Gavin & they wouldn't let him in. We called Mike's Mom & Sister & asked them to come down to get Gavin so I could be with Mike. They ran some tests, some of which turned out to be okay & others we haven't found the results of yet. They put an IV in him & released him about 2 telling him to rest, relax & liquids for 24 hours. He is still not feeling the best, but it seems he is on the upswing. Thankfully still, Gavin & I haven't gotten it & are still out of the clear. I am still sleeping on the air mattress in the Dining room, so hopefully by this weekend everything will be back to normal for our Family Pictures. Thanks again everyone for helping us & thinking of us & being there for us!

H1N1 Again

The H1N1 virus has officially hit the Wallenberg home. Remember this? Well, that was not officially H1N1 but on Wednesday, Mike called me & said he wasn't feeling very good. I was sick last weekend with a really bad sore throat & head cold & thought he might be getting that. He was progressively getting worse as the minutes, hours, day went on, so Thursday, I got him a Drs. Appt. The Dr. said he did have H1N1 & got him some meds. It is now Friday night & he is still not feeling any better! I have been sleeping on a blowup air mattress in the dining room, which really bites! Thanks to everyone for their kind works, support, thoughts, prayers at this time! Thanks Kelly for all the help this week. You help us out so much & I don't even know where we would be without you this week! You are awesome & we love you so much! Thanks for taking such good care of our LG & loving him as your own! Please, please continue to keep our Family in your prayers that Gavin & I don't get this nasty virus & that Mike will recover quickly!

H1N1

Guess who had to take the H1N1 (Swine Flu) test today...Yep...Me! It did come back negative, but it is the most uncomfortable "test" ever. I am still not feeling good & I am hoping & praying that I don't give it to Mike & Gavin, but we are getting through it...1 hour at a time.

It all started last night. I came home from work, played with Gavin for a while & about 6, started feeling dizzy, cold & sick. The room felt like it was spinning. I didn't think anything about it, took care of Gavin for the night & went straight to bed after I put Gavin down. Gavin woke up for a 2:15 feeding, I felt fine. He woke up again for a 5:15 feeding, again I felt fine. Mike came home about 6 & I started coughing. I got ready for the day & as I was driving to work, I started to feel more & more sick. I couldn't breathe & my chest was really tight. Almost 2 years ago I started to feel like this & we went to the Dr. & it was my asthma. As I was driving to work this morning, that is what came to my mind. I didn't have my inhaler with me, so I decided I would see how long I could make it. I talked to my boss & she reminded me that I had my nebulizer in the car. I did a treatment of that but it didn't seem to work. About 11 I called Mike & told him I needed to see the Dr. because I wasn't getting any better, it was getting worse. We went to the Dr. & were shocked to find out I had a fever & that the Dr. thought it was Swine Flu. The test did come back Negative, but with my asthma, the Dr didn't want to risk it so I am on meds & can't go back to work until my fever is gone & we know what kind of flu it is (according to my boss) I am still not feeling any better tonight, but haven't thrown up yet...YAY!

Please keep us in your prayers that I recover from this quickly & that Mike & Gavin don't get this!
