Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands

Well, the swine flu has reached Cambridge, and it has reached our home. I don't know any statistics, but both of our schools have reported cases this week. Annie is currently being treated for the swine flu. The boys have had fevers during the past week, but haven't needed further treatment. Thankfully, it is a mild illness for Annie; she hasn't been miserable. Mike was in Italy all week, so it was stressful for me to have children staying home from school, being sent home from school, getting picked up from school, visiting the doctor and needing a prescription, all with no Daddy and no car. Fortunately, we are blessed with good friends and neighbors here, so the hardship was substantially eased by their help.

The best advice out there: Wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands.
