Well, if we were questioning whether or not Finn really has to be on lock down this flu/RSV season, we aren't any longer. Jim's mom unfortunately came down with the flu (regular influenza, not swine or H1N1) the day after watching Finn, which means we will be heading to the pharmacy shortly to get a precautionary prescription for Tamiflu. You just can't be careful enough with preemies and things like this happen even when you ARE careful. I hope that Jim's mom feels better soon and I really hope that Finn doesn't get it. No Target, no public settings, no groups, etc. I'm actually very bummed about going back on lock down (I can't run errands, I can't meet people, I can't go to lunch with anybody, I can't get out of the house other than for walks...which it will be too cold shortly for anyway...etc), but if I have a healthy baby, it is worth it. I just start to feel very claustrophobic and sometimes alone/lonely. Jim is great and takes my lists and gets what I need and on the weekend, pretty much pushes me out the door so I can get out. But it isn't the same. This too shall pass...
Get better, Lynn!

Our girls were on Tamiflu too when Maia came down with flulike symptoms. They never actually got the flu but they did get RSV so who knows - maybe that's what Maia had all along.
I'm sorry to hear that though! Hopefully Finn doesn't get sick and if he does, I pray it's just a "normal baby" cold.
