Back from camp & dealing with swine flu

We made it back from camp around 3am this morning.  The teens on the bus all began getting sick on our way home from Chattanooga, TN.  My son was one of the first.  We took him to the dr today and he apparantly has swine flu.  He tested positive for the flu & that is the only kind going around.  He has a congested cough, sinus drainage, headache, high fever (up to 104 degrees), body aches, sore throat, and nausea.  Thank the Lord, my two younger children are still at my mom's house and will stay there until we know my son, my husband and I are all fine.  We are all taking Tamiflu, so I'm praying my husband and I won't get it or will at least have a mild case.  All of the teens from our church were highly exposed and most of them are already sick.  Please remember them (Bethlehem Baptist Church) and my son in your prayers.

As far as my diet goes, it is on hold at the moment.  I'm having to take care of my son around the clock right now.  I was already totally exhausted from lack of sleep at camp this week.  I will do the best I can until this is all better.

Just said a prayer for you all. I will tell them in Sunday school to pray for you all too. The Lord will take care of you.

Staying 100% on plan isn't important right now -- you just need to care for your son. I hope the rest of you don't get it.

I'm a mom, too, and it's so easy to forget about our well-being when caring for others. You can still stick to portion size and focus on fruits, veggies and proteins that don't require a lot of time cooking. You're important, too, and you need to take care of yourself so you can be there for your son, right?

Hang in there -- I hope all the kids are better soon.

This will pass soon, and you will remember the trip as just good fun.. Get some rest yourself before you are down, when this happens the whole house collapses.. All of us Moms know that all too well.

I am sorry to hear that! I hope he gets better very soon and no one else comes down with it. I will remember your family and church in my prayers.
