I honestly did everything I could. I wash my hands ALL the time, especially at work and have been through about 2,485 bottles of hand sanitizer in the last 6 months. I changed my toothbrush about every month and made it my morning routine to gulp down a huge 8 oz. glass of EMERGEN-C.

But I got it. Yep. The Swine has fully infected my being.

I was working this weekend and on saturday night we got an admit close to the end of the shift. A 6 yr. old male with cerebral palsy and and upper respiratory infection. Standard precaution. No biggie. Except that he had a horrible, hacking, barky cough. And yes he coughed and hacked all over me.

So yesterday I am struggling to make it through my monday 4 hour lecture. I was so tired and just feeling yucky. I went out to my mom's for our 3-day dinner (Only 5 weeks left!) and was starting this random cough thing. I thought it was just a random tickle so I brushed it off. Then came the body aches and the fever. Awesome. I knew I had it, and I knew that kid had it too.

So I called the hospital and sure enough, he and his mother were both diagnosed yesterday. Oh the joys of working with the ill.

So Now I am at home in bed, missing school, which I desperately tried to avoid. I am so afraid of failing and having to repeat. Ugh. I won't worry though. I know God will take care of me.
