Hong Kong Bird Flu

Joey has been excited to get the bird feeders up and running, but I fear all these birds have brought the H5N1 virus. Zach threw up on Eleanor's Birthday Thursday night. We were at the restaurant but I could tell he wasn't feeling good, so I took him outside so that if he threw up, he wouldn't wreck the evening for everyone else in the resturaunt. He perked up after a while, so we went back inside, but stopped off at the bathroom because I wanted him to try and go potty. As soon as we were in front of the toilet he threw up. Awesome! We went back outside after that, because I didn't want to stay in the bathroom, but I didn't trust him to know if he was going to throw up in time to make it to the toilet either.

Then yesterday afternoon, Squeezie started throwing up, then last night Zoe and Eleanor both threw up (once each in bed, and several times each in the toilet). It was a long night. Joey was going to go the the Stake women's conference, but decided to stay home and take care of the sick kids instead, because I am apparently not qualified.

Here what most of the family is up to this morning (its about 10:00 a.m.).







Its a pretty blah day.

I'm so sorry about all the sickness! That is no fun for the sick ones or their caretakers. I hope everyone will be healthy soon. Hang in there.

HOW DO YOU DO…
BIRD FLU

But it sounds so cute

Getting a bit bored with the scaremongering and need to know the unbiased facts of this rampaging global killer, from China?



Symptoms

With all the chicken shops in your local area, pretty much everyone could have the flu. Arghhhhhh! Oh god, your mum loves chicken nuggets and you always buy that gauntly thin value chicken from the supermarket that looks like it’s been sick. Nooooooo! And last night you had a very runny nose.

Just so you’re not hastily arranging a lefty mob meeting. Human symptoms of H5N1 are; a fever, coughing, really sore throat, and achy muscles, the WHO not the who; the World Health Organisation said bird flu has “influenza like symptoms.” Oh yeah like you know what influenza even looks like? Might as well say bird flu symptoms are like contracting the plague in super glue, riding dodo roller skates. You could also get really awful stuff happen like; eye infections, pneumonia, acute respiratory distress, and “other severe and life-threatening complications.” I think the last point translates to a gang of people intent on burning you alive before you give them a “contagious killer disease.”
