I had been caring for my 10 yr-old daughter who was sick with the flu all weekend, before I ever heard the news about this swine variety. Unfortunately she saw the news when we did and it really scared her. I was nervous enough to call the local clinic and they promptly told me that no case of swine flu has been reported in Illinois. I would've thought they would want me to bring her in to at least be tested, but they gave me the impression that I was overreacting and I felt kind' embarrassed for asking. My daughter's doing much better, not totally over it, but I've lost my share of sleep over it.
