If you read the previous post about Lizzy being sick, I said she had a viral throat infection.  That was, until, her fever went up to 104 degrees and the other H1N1 (swine flu) symptoms kicked in.

Lizzy Battles H1N1

She had just been to the doctor on Tuesday morning where they ruled out H1N1 because of the lack of symptoms.  A couple hours later, she was textbook H1N1, according to the pediatrician.  They prescribed Tamiflu to fight the virus and we’re keeping up the Motrin and/or Tylenol for the fever.

When Lizzy get’s sick, she wants to be held and is very snugly.  While it’s nice to snuggle with your little girl, I wish it was under different circumstances.

Keep your fingers crossed and prayers coming, that she beats this thing quickly…
Soon enough, she’ll be back to normal…

Update:
November 14, 2009 – Lizzy still has a high fever and cough.  Fever seems to basically go away in the morning, but comes back later in the day.  Rest of the symptoms are pretty much gone, all that lasts is the fever and cough…  This is 4 days straight of high fevers, so hopefully it’s almost through…  Thanks for all the kind words…

Update 11/21/2009:
Lizzy is pretty much over H1N1 now. She has a cough that is still hanging around, but the fever and other symptoms are gone.  She’s back to her regular self again.  Thanks for all the kind thoughts and words…
