ocelotI really hate this flu, and none of us even have it.
Leif has something or other. When he's awake, he's pretty much his normal happy self, but he's been sleeping and nursing a ton, and he had a slight temperature yesterday. The worst part is that he's making this weird hooting sound when he's upset or excited or lying on his back. The doctor's office said not to bring him in unless he gets worse because they have so many flu patients right now.
So I've got a kid with some sort of breathing problem who can't even go to the doctor because of the flu :(
Admittedly, it doesn't seem life threatening. He's overall pretty happy, and doesn't seem upset by the hooting at all. But I have a feeling that, if it weren't for all the flu patients, they'd want to see him right away. The doctor we talked to yesterday initially said to take him to the emergency room, but we (the doctor and I) decided it made sense to wait and not risk exposing him to anything else.
I hope this goes away soon.
