This little piggie went to the doctor's office...

OK, not THIS one, but young David did. He woke up this morning with headache and fever. Coughing last night and a little this morning. Given his asthma history, they gave us an appointment today. Hooray!

At the appointment, Susie says they advised that yep, it's probably swine flu. Best to do, given his asthma, is treat him as though he's having a constant very mild asthma incident. That means regular use of the "rescue" inhaler every 4-6 hours, and a steriod inhaler for the duration of the flu. And, of course, fluids and rest and tylenol.

Fingers crossed...
