H poss has swine flu. He vommited twice this morning and so work sent him home. He has fluctuating temps, not really a continuing high fever, a hacking cough and a few aches. This is the first day that he vomited but he's had the other symptoms for a couple of days. He's not been sick since 8am. Am keeping him away from the children and me. He has got tamiflu today. He's currently holed up in the playroom.
I was supposed to be going to see my mum and dad tomorrow but on discussion with Dad, I'm not going. My mum has MND and is fully ventilated and so V. V. high risk. I'm disappointed as well as it's Dad's birthday on Tuesday and I have all his presents (and from Mum too as she obv can't get them herself).
However, My son is supposed to have his op on Tues (tonsils out). Part of me doesn't want to tell the hospital as I'm desperate for him to get rid of these tonsils (his last bout of tonsilitis ended up with him on a ventilator). I can't have him on a ventilator for that again. However I also don't want to risk him coming down with swine flu when he has a lower immunity and open wounds in his throat.
None of the rest of us have shown any symptoms at all. If I tell the hospital, do you think they'd be likely to say my son can't have his op? I don't want to put him at further risk either way but this op had already been cancelled before.He's v likely to get anti biotics after the op and so they may help the immune system too.
WWYD, tell the hosp or keep quiet as long as DS is healthy tomorrow and Tuesday morning?
Edited to add: Of course, I'd been so caught up thinking about DS, I'd not even thought about the other children. I'll give the hospital a ring in a few mins. Thanks.
