I know a lot of you know and care for my Wall Puppy, Samantha. She's very, very sick right now and I'd appreciate all of your positive thoughts and energy.
She was diagnosed yesterday with the H1N1 virus, aka swine flu. There was a case at her school which started back 2 weeks ago.
She basically has to be quarantined - can't leave the house for 7 days at least. Clay and I feel fine and we figure since we've been around her this whole time, we're probably not going to get it now.
The doctor was also concerned that she might be developing pneumonia on top of it so I'm waiting to hear back about that. Her cough is terrible and is just exhausting her.
I'll keep you posted.

I'm hoping to hear good news about Sam...what a special child. You all are blessed. I hate to hear of a sick young-un, but she'll get over it if all her aunts and uncles have anything to do with it.

Ive been keeping up to date on this virus. Not really any stronger than the regular flu, but seems to be spreading more. Also read today that they think it is transmitted more through contact than being the airborne type. I hope Samantha gets better soon, and it sounds like she is. God bless her and keep us informed.

NO WAY! It didn't have anything to do with that "devasting loss" by the Giants the other night. Seriously I hope Samantha gets back on track and will definately pray for that to happen.

Rich, Thank god she was so out of it with high fever that she didn't see that grand slam in the 14th. That was horrible.
Thanks everyone. Her fever is down and now she just has the cough and fatigue. Good news is she can't go anywhere until Monday so there's no stress to get back to school.

Now it's going to be getting past all of the soreness inside and out. That stuff just drains you physically and your spirit too. I'll be be glad to hear how Sam, is doing next week on wednesday.
BTW things are getting better for Matt, who I was calling Mark for some reason. He's getting spunky already with his parents. Also I said he was 25 but he is only 19. I'm just a mixed up old man.

Glad she's feeling better. It's running crazy here this week since school restarted. One high school football team had an outbreak and they stopped practices.
