 Topic: he has mumps!!!
Posted: 18 October 2007 at 4:10pm |
DH face swelled up the other night so we went to the dr......diagnosis is mumps! 
so he's off work for 2wks and poor charli is away from daycare for a month because she isn't vaccinated yet 
jack is so he's ok.
it worked out well because we have our 2yr old neice staying this week and now i have help around the house 
DH feels ok, apart from looking like a freak with a fat face, he just has a sore throat....but of course he's a man so he feels like he's dying

Hope he is feeling better soon, but cool that you have some help around and that you can make it tomorrow.

Yeah, apparently it can cause infertility problems...
which is why we need to be careful if the kids catch it because Nat's only had it on one side (of his face). I'll be alright - I've had it twice, both sides both times.

Yep it is terrible for men! My Dad had it in his 40's and he was terribly ill for so long and I remember him saying the worst part was what pain it created "down there".
I feel so sorry for your DH!

Wow Vanessa, that's scary! I thought mumps was almost extinct these days! Hope your DH gets better soon, and that Charli is spared!

don't feel too sorry for him, he's fine. there is no pain apart from a sore throat which is fixed with panadol.
he doesn't have any probs *ahem* 'down there' they are both normal, it's all in his face....i call him 'my little chipmunk' because his cheeks are so puffed out.
everyone has said about the infertilty thing, but our GP said there was no evidence to back that up. wouldn't worry us if it did anyway, we are finished having kids......it would save $400 and an op
emma, i hope charli is spared too. the GP said that if she did get it, we may not even know because generally children her age don't get it that bad. fingers crossed eh! i just feel bad for her missing daycare for so long, she's just started to really get into it

We have just had a big out break at the hostel I work in at Waikatop Uni, apparently there was a huge outbreak in Samoa, and some of the students brought it back from there and passed it to others in the hall. An outbreak is classed by the Ministry of Health as more than 4 ppl having it, apparently.
