Get a call from the school that the six year old S is sick. For some reason they did not have my mobile number (which has been clearly writted a hundred times to the teacher) and they call up DH. I was with DH at the time and could hear him having a long conversation with someone from school. with random questions thrown in to me like "is it ok to give piriton?"
While i was making frantic gestures like give the phone to me or should i pick the kid up. He hangs up and says no they say its ok to leave him. Get home in the evening and take the kid to the doc. i have to dedicate a whole post about the paediatricians who have no sense of time (and the gynos)in colombo.
get him some medicine and get home to have a call from DH u know they have detected swine flu. I think we should not send the kids to school.
( arent we being a wee bit too careful) i laughed it off and said we cannot keep them under lock and key they might still catch dengue or anything.
Wake up this morning and get call from Bestfriend " God that swine thing is here what do u think?"
Me : well dont worry the flu will run when they have to attack us. and only the good die young or get serious diseases we are safe.
friend : what do u kow about this case
so i update her what i know and she thinks i know these people personally. I read it in the blooming papers. God!
friend : I think we should be careful and not take the kids out much.
Right another one who thinks the same.
DH calls : we should put off our vacation till this is sorted.
me : what sorted ? u mean to sort out where we are heading
DH : no till the swine flu is under control.
arghhh there goes the vacation postponed by a month with destination nowhere.....
