Just got a call from my wife who's visiting my daughter down in North Carolina. My daughter, who's six months pregnant, was just admitted to the hospital with chills, diarrhea, and severe body pain. She got a flu shot a couple weeks ago, and the doctors think that it may have been a contaminated batch. May want to think twice before getting yours.

Positive thoughts. keep us informed.

Best wishes, I sincerely hope all goes well.

dp- they will be in my prayers

Damn, dude, that sucks. I don't know how parents do it. It seems like you just never stop worrying about them. My admiration and prayers to you and your family.

Not joking here, I've long been aware of the fact that not wanting kids of my own has simplified my life in many ways. Lord knows it's complex and busy enough as it is. Maybe I'm looking at this via my OCD, but I honestly don't know how parents ever manage to sleep once the kids is born. Seems like an awfully demanding job.

^pacman......your fear is the result of some sort of mental issue.

of course we worry about kids.....sometimes we worry a LOT, but sane people somehow manage to fulfill life's simplest directive.

In other words.....you are a whacko.....and quite possibly a ****.

#6 LMAO...thanks. OCD is, by definition, irrational. That's where the D in the term comes from...Disorder.

For whatever reason, I've just never related to kids. Not even when I was a kid. Other kids would be watching cartoons, I'd watch Perry Mason and cooking shows (although I did play a number of sports growing up, enjoyed most of them, and was actually decent at a couple of them).

Pretty sure I'm not a ****, however. Mrs. Pacman says I'm not, we're in the house together right now, and whatever she says is always right inside the house, so...ergo, I cannot be a ****.

Some people say that I act like a big kid.

Stupid people.

Oh ****...........sorry for the threadjack dpnewell.

Positive joojoo sent for your daughter.

Very eloquent, Andrew. As a father, myself, I couldn't have said it better.

(well, I could have, but it wouldn't have been nearly as funny)

God bless.

#9 Just do what I do when faced with such accusations. Scream "I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not I'm not!" Then hold your breath until someone buys you something.

DP--I will keep your daughter and her baby and the rest of you in my prayers.

Please do keep us updated.

If your daughter got the shot 2 weeks ago, it may have not been enough time for her immunity to kick in fully. She may have caught the flu during this 2 week period.

In prayer,

Suzi

Thanks everyone for your prayers, thoughts and concerns (even Pacs, lol). They had to give her a morphine shot, just so she could sleep. Due to her pregnancy, she's in the maternity ward. The wife says that the room looks like a hotel room. There's a pull out couch that they made up for her to sleep on, and even a whirlpool bath. One thing I'll say about NC, their hospitals are some of the nicest in the nation. Let you know when I hear more.

Thoughts and prayers sent. H1N1 affect on pregnant women is one of the biggest concerns. Most docs/hospitals will treat a patient as if they have it if they have the symptoms. I have not doubt she is getting great care!

Done.

good luck, my thoughts will be with her

Again, thanks to everyone for prayers and thoughts. She was released today. They are now thinking that it was dehydration and not the flu shot. Thanks again for everyone‘s concern.

dpnewell regardles, the most imortant thing is her health as well as that of the little one.

continued prayers.
