The flu: type A

Well Paige has the flu! It is type A!  When they said that my first thought was " oh good it's not h1n1"  Then they said that h1n1 is a strain of the type a flu and that she probably has that strain!  So i thought that there were 3 types of flu but still there is only two!  I don't think that she has it to bad because a couple of years ago alex had type a flu and he was A LOT worse than she is!  This puts a huge damper on our halloween plans!  She may or may not be feeling well enough to go out on sat.  If she's not i think i will still dress her up anyways and take her picture!  We will still be able to do some things like paint pumpkins and decorate cookies just no parties!  They said that it is highly contagious so keep her away from other children!  We will need to watch her close to make sure it doesn't get any worse because the flu can cause her to get a bacterial infection that would need to be treated with anitbiotics!  So i think if we just keep a close eye on her and keep her indoors we will be fine!  We already have been staying indoors for the most part and we kept both kids home sunday so i don't think that we have been spreading it really to much!  The only thing that i am really too concerned about now is Alex getting sick he had a cough last week but hasn't really coughed much since last week so i will just watch him and his symptoms and make sure everything is going okay!  Well that's really all the news for now i hope that paige will do better at least to go trick or treating around our neighbor hood!  We'll see!
