Fiancé with the flu !!!! 😳
So we have a little girl she is one. I have tirelessly worked on keeping her from the flu. We wash hands constantly, she drinks Gatorade and probiotics like a champ, and we lysol and sanitize everything daily! If we go out we stay away from crowds and have sanitizing wipes and if she gets a fever I push probiotics and cuddle with her until she sleeps. Her fever broke yesterday and that was her only symptom. She and I haven’t been exposed to the flu that I know of. All her classmates are still at school. Her doctors tell us not to come in unless we have more than a fever that responds to meds since we haven’t been exposed. Well my fiancé comes home and says he has mucos running down his nose and his throat hurts it started this morning and one of his buddies child is in the hospital for the flu and they worked together this week so he’s been exposed...... good thing he asked to go to Arkansas to a hunting club to hunt because he isn’t staying here with us 😂 no germs until Thursday! Don’t worry he will only be in contact with work buddies unless it gets worse then he will go to an urgent care as long as he isn’t dehydrated! I’m so thankful he’s been on the 3pm-11pm shift and hasn’t seen our baby since Wednesday! He better be glad he asked to go on this trip because otherwise I was sending his ass to his moms until he was better! This mama is keeping her baby well!!!!!!! And I dealt with him having food poisoning a month ago and honestly he is an AWFUL PATIENT!!!! I haven’t recovered enough to nurse him to health again!
Edit: I want to remain anonymous so I’m making an update. First and foremost I am not making my fiancé leave the house. He asked earlier while he was at his shift to go on a hunting trip for three days in Arkansas. He then told me he was sick once he got off work later in the evening. If anything if he did actually have the flu I would go to my mothers to be on the safe side. Or confine him to our room while he’s home at the same time we are. Secondly, my child is a child. She plays like a child, she’s eaten dirt before I could get to her the other day. On normal circumstances I wouldn’t disinfect everything so often. Usually I Lysol toys once every two weeks. I wash her stuffed animals once a month. The only reason I’m so uptight is she just had tubes put in her ears so she just had a surgery and now the flu outbreak. 32 people including some children have died in our state. I want my child’s immune system to grow. That’s why she goes to daycare and does other things. But just because when there’s an outbreak and I am staying on the safer side of my child who doesn’t have a full grown immune system and keeping her safe doesn’t mean I’m being overbearing or to much. Also in referring to the whole awful patient thing, he had food poisoning a month ago. I had a virus. My family lives 2 hrs away and was out of town that weekend. I had a virus along with his food poisoning. Not only did I have to take care of myself I had to solely take care of our little girl all while he got to lay in bed and be catered to whenever he wanted something. I finally had to explain I couldn’t walk let alone bring him stuff. And I asked his family if they would get our baby since my family was out of town and we were both sick. They told me absolutely not! And my family was trying to find a flight back to us so they could help me. They are selfish and I ended up having to let our baby play in the waterless tub while I threw up the entire day.
