What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (3)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

What sad I am. This morning my little daughter had fever again around 100.2 degree Fahrenheit. It is the third time in one month. She is sleeping now after I gave her Tylenol. I cheked her temperature has been normal. Thanks God!

Though she will be fine this afternon, it doesn't mean I will let her do trick or treat. I'm still worried. I know she will be sad but I'm sure she will understand.

At the same time we also can not come to Family Day event which the college where our daughters go to study is holding it this afternoon. We hope next year we will come.

Now I would like to continue posting about 2009 H1N1 influenza. Thank you to everybody who still keep continuing to read this message.



WHO SHOULD NOT GET THE VACCINE AND WHO SHOULD WAIT?
* You should not get this vaccine if ou have as severe (life threatening) allergy to eggs, or to any other substance in the vaccine. Tell the person giving you the vaccine if you have any severe allergies.

Also tell them if you ever had:
- a life-threatening allergic reaction after a dose of seasonal flu vaccine
- Guillain Barre Syndrome (a severe paralytic illness also called GBS)

Those may not be reasons to avoid the vaccine, but the medical staff can help you decide.

If you are moderately or severely ill, you might be advised to wait until you recover before getting the vaccine. If you have a mild cold or other illness, there is usually no need to wait.

Pregnancy or breastfeeding are not reasons to avoid getting this vaccine.

2009 H1N1 vaccine may be given at the same tie as other vaccines, including seasonal influenza vaccine.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (2)

Hi Guys,

This early in the morning I have finished writing my novel. It surprised me when I peeped the time on my notebook screen, it was at 2.22 AM (good luck numbers for me, huh...?!). My eyes were very tired but I was very happy as I have completed my progress for this month. Next month I'll prepare to send all materials to the production team. They have waited for me little bit longer as I have been late two months from the original schedule I made before. I'm very excited.

As I mentioned yesterday that I would post the series of the information about 2009 H1N1 Influenza, I will continue to write them below. For everybody who has subscribed to this Blog, I would like to thank for attention and interest you have given. As you know this blog was created to spread the words with a simple hope, every message can give a great blessing to every reader. THANK YOU.



WHAT IS 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE?
* Vaccines are being made to protect against 2009 H1N1 influenza (my husband got it two days ago from the hospital where he works and I have registered my little daughter to get this vaccine at her school)

These vaccines are produced just like seasonal flu vaccines. They are expected to be as effective as seasonal flu vaccines, will not prevent 'influenza-like' illnesses caused by other viruses. They also won't prevent seasonal flu, so you should also get seasonal influenza vaccine, if recommended.

Inactivated (killed) vaccine is injected into the muscle, like the annual flu shot. A live, intranasal vaccine is also available.

Some inactivated H1N1 vaccine contains a preservative called thimerosal. While some people have suggested that it may be related to developmental problems in children. That theory has not been supported by research. Thimerosal-free vaccine is also available.

WHO SHOULD GET 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA VACCINE AND WHEN?
* WHO - Groups recommended to receive this vaccine first are:
Pregnant women, people who live with or care for infants younger than 6 months of age, health care and emergency personnel, anyone from 6 months through 24 years of age, anyone from 25 through 64 with certain chronic medical conditions or a weakened immune system

These groups should also be vaccinated: Healthy 25-64 year olds and adults 65 and older.

* WHEN - Get vaccinated as soon as the vaccine is available! Recommendations may change if we learn that other groups of people are at particularly high risk. Some people may need two doses of vaccine.

What You Need to Know about 2009 H1N1 Influenza (1)

Dear All,

Last weekend I had hard time. On Saturday and Sunday night I could not sleep at all. My little daughter had high fever, 104.8 degree Fahrenheit. Actually she had just healed two weeks ago. My eyes could not put away from her to make sure she was fine. I never stopped praying and changed the cold small towel on her forehead. She was absent in two days and yesterday on Wednesday, she had come back already to school. I thank to God she is fine now.

Yesterday when I helped Kid Writing lesson in her class, I heard from her teacher many students were absent because they were sick.

If you live whereever you are, either in USA, Europe, Asia, Australia or Africa, etc, you must be aware as you may have heard a new influenza virus, called the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus was first identified in USA in late April 2009. The virus has caused illness ranging from mild to severe, including hospitalizations and deaths in adults and children. Many children have gotten 2009 H1N1 infection and there have been large outbreaks in some schools across the country. The Centers for Disease Control and Preventions's (CDC) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has recommended that children and young adults aged 6 months through 24 years be vaccinated against this virus as soon as the vaccine available.

Vaccination is the best way to protect you and your child from this potentially serious disease. So, what do you know so far about this dangerous influenza??

In this post and in several upcoming posts, I will provide the important information I got from Pennsylvania Department of Health.

WHAT IS 2009 H1N1 INFLUENZA?
* It was earlier called Swine Flu, a type of flu caused by new strain of influenza virus. Because it has spread to many countries, it has been declared a pandemic influenza strain.

Like other flu viruses, it spreads from person to person through coughing, sneezing, nasal secretions, and sometimes through handling objects contaminated with the virus.

Signs of the type of this influenza can include: fatigue, chills, fever, caughing, sort throat, sneezing and muscle aches. Some poeple also have diarrhea and vomiting

Most people recover within a week but some people get pneumonia or other serious illnesses. Some people have to be hospitalized and some die.

HOW IS 2009 H1N1 DIFFERENT FROM REGULER (SEASONAL FLU)?
* Seasonal flu viruses change from year to year, but they are closely related to each other.

People who have had prior infections usually have some immunity to seasonal flu viruses.

This virus is a new virus strain. It is very different from seasonal flu viruses. Most people have little or no immunity to this new virus.

The Reviewers:

1. Cathy Mc Kittrick (MO)

Through the publishing of this book, Fida Abbott has shared her approach to American cooking through the eyes of someone fairly new to the United States. She brings forth fresh culinary ideas combined with personal tidbits that endear you to her and this ambitious effort.

2. Maria Coleman (TX)

A first look at this recipe book was a bit daunting. Maroon-brown hard cover with that crispy-but-juicy look of the turkey and all the trimmings will surely bring up your appetite. "Fabulous Leftover Turkey", really??

With so many turkey recipes out there what makes this one stand out? First, it's the creativity of the author, Fida Abbott, who smartly combine two great cultures: Indonesia, where she from, and America, where her husband from, into these recipes. The result? Ten great dishes that are easy to prepare. Second, not like others, the author also shares her story of how she came up with recipe ideas and it's background. This makes cooking more enjoyable. Third, pictures are nice. Even though they could be more attractive if they were more focussed and clearer. I personally like the setting and layout, even though in some pages margins are uneven. But it doesn't hurt much. Four, this book is for everyone. I'm vegetarian, but that doesn't mean I cannot use this recipe book. It gives me confidence to play around with non-meat ingredients.

That's what's fabulous! I definitely will recommend it to you. Can't wait for another series, Fida!

(This review can be read at Amazon.com)

3. Baikbear (PA)

Two words I can describe about this cookbook; attractive and creative. I enjoy the stories the author wrote. Photographs are great.

I hope she will publish the second book soon and keep supporting the others who are in need.

Parenting Divorce

DIVORCE, it is a frightened word for a family, especially for the children. No children in the family want their parent getting divorce. It will hurt their life seeing the broken relationship of their parent. Most of the children from the divorce parent will have its effect.

Thank to God I have three sweet children from my husband first married. You may believe or not, they are the sweetest American children I've ever seen, and they have been in part of my life and family. I ever gave a great compliment to my husband and his ex-wife how great they were in raising their kids after divorce.

It's not only that, even the relationship between her and me, between her and my husband are good. We both are like a sister, and she and my husband are like a friend.

If you are one of a couple who are getting divorce or have been getting divorce or have been divorced, there is a great website source about Parenting after Divorce you should know.

Remember, children are influenced by their parent's divorce in many subtle ways, and parenting after a divorce can be a completely fresh challenge.

If you're going through a parenting divorce, you will want to read their ground rules of parenting after divorce. And, especially if it is an angry divorce, you will also need to know the fundamental policies which both divorcing parents need to commit to, for the sake of your children.

I'm sure through Parenting after Divorce, they will help you to ensure emotional stability for your kids - and for you - to flourish in your new situation. Their website also gives you a perspectives about a course on parenting after divorce:
1. Commit to being consistent on certain house rules;
2. When your child gets upset and seems to tantrum or lose control of their feelings, react to your child's concerns even if they seem unreasonable;
3. Communicate and listen;
4. Build a stable, two-household routine and stay involved;
5. Deal with the anger, don't dismiss it

They also provide a link that will bring you to Supernany forum, an online forum place to join the conversation and share your parenting experience.

I hope through this great information, Parenting after Divorce will help you in facing a new challaging life.

Good Luck!

Celebrating Our 7th Anniversary

In celebrating our seventh Anniversary, I would like to give a great thank to Mariuca who gave Happy Anniversary wishes in the last post, Our 7th Anniversry, dated on Oct 4th, 2009. In appreciation of her wishes and attention, I would send her 200 EC this weekend.

What happened on the date of our 7th Anniversary, it was sad - my husband had diarrhea all day. Because too much liquid came out from his body, he got fever. The next day, he went to see the doctor and got antibiotic to take. It can kill the germs in his tummy.

Now my husband has to be in the tight diet because it happened twice already. It was a serious problem if he didn't take care and watch his diet. He gave me this link to help me arranging the foods he needs and avoid other foods he should not take.

Another sweet news, this morning after returning from his work, he gave me two surprised Anniversary gifts, Banana Parfait and A set of four Celtic CDs (yay!). He looked so cute when gave them to me and mentioned, "Happy Anniversary!!" (he, he...)

Now I'm very happy seeing him not sick anymore and I can concentrate to finish writing my novel soon. I have enjoyed writing it and now I will write the ending for chapter 21 and this weekend I will be ready to write chapter 22. If there is no change, chapter 22 will be the last chapter for my first novel. I'm very excited!!!
