The pigs came to visit

and left Pierce with a case of H1N1. I am pretty convinced that what Madelyn had a couple of weeks ago was also H1N1. Pierce's symptoms were so similar, but much milder, that I dismissed the possibility that he could have it. JD took him to the doctor today because he had had a fever for over 4 days. They tested him and it came back positive. The test does have a 30% false negative rate, so I think it missed Madelyn's case. It really isn't that bad, and he hasn't had a fever all day, so hopefully the worst is over. Please pray that Isabel doesn't get it (or the rest of us either)!
