To everyone; mothers, fathers, grandparents...!!!!!?

My daughter developed a mild cough, without wanting to look past it, I made a doctor's appt. the next day. During the doctor's visit, she had a 102 fever! They recommended us to go to Children's Hospital. They tested her positive for Swine Flu, because it was caught in 48 hours (brought her in, less than 24 hours from her first sign), she has a better chance fighting it...

Please! Please! Do not look past a mild cough during this time of year, especially with Swine Flu. AND keep your children away from sick people!

Update:

My daughter has been sneezing since the day she born... but I don't think that has anything to do with it. She didn't have a runny nose. When she developed a mild cough, I knew THAT wasn't normal

Update 2:

She is doing GREAT actually! She does have a cough and feels warm. But she is taking Temiflu and mortin, and pedilyte. She's a sleepy baby, but still her same self. Trying to stand up when she is awake, talking (or trying to talk) and eats everythign in front of her (i think she gets that from her father). It's a waiting game, but so far so good.

    OMG thank you for posting this. i am scared to death of the swine flu and my baby catching it. he just recently had a bug and had a low grade fever for two days and it was really hard to see him like that, i too took him to the doctor right away because he'd never had a fever before and i knew that something was going on. thank god it was nothing major. i hope your little one is doing better and props to you for not ignoring her cough! some parents look past it.
