Swine Flu...a little too close to home

I got a phone call today (yes, Sunday) from Christian's teacher.  She told me that there is a suspected case of swine flu in one of the students at Christian's school!  What?  Are you kidding me?  I guess she wouldn't be calling on a Sunday to joke with me.

She says that the school will be closed through Wednesday.  On the news they said "until further notice".  The school will be sanitized this week.  I guess we just have to wait for the CDC to determine the exact strain of the virus which could not be identified by the county labs.  If the results come back positive the school must remain closed for 14 days.

I guess it will be a long week...or maybe two.

Last week there were two suspected cases of kids in another school in the district who had contact with their grandmother from Mexico who was determined to have the positive strain of swine flu.  That school was closed all last week and will re-open tomorrow.  Their tests came back negative.
