To go back to yesterday, after the dentist I went into town & met up with P. After scooting round the shops I got to school just in time to pick up J who then went home with Adam. Went home & checked emails - one from organiser of activity day to which P took group saying one of the children who was there has been diagnosed with swine flu. Contacted all parents of our group, said no need to panic, there were lots of children there, child concerned probably didn't come near our group. One mother then emailed me back & said her daughter had just been diagnosed with swine flu. So it's just a case of keeping an eye on the children & watching out for any symptoms. Apparently we should still send them to school if they seem healthy even if they've been in contact. There was only today left at school anyway.
A couple at church have already had swine flu, they were both ill but not allowed any visitors & confined to their house for 5 days with their healthy & lively children aged 3 & 11months. What a nightmare!
