No more information for you, but I don't know if I'd want them there either! Yikes!
No info for you. I'd suggest telling your cousin you'd love for her to be there, but you also want your guests to stay health and if they are still sick or contagious, you'd prefer for them to stay home.
Good luck!
I'm not a doctor, but I don't think I'd want them there either!
Who in their right mind would attend an event like that when they know full well they are sick and contagious? Not to mention their children too? I wouldn't allow that and you need to get someone with a strong backbone to get in touch with them.
I would check with the CDC recommendations on that one.
It depends on how long the person has had the flu and when they got it and if they're fever-ish I think.
Jmho.
I know at my job (hospital) we're bombarded with that stuff all the time.
I would just say nicely oh that is very kind of you but seriously you need to stay home and get well people are dying from the flu and i do not want some of the elders at my wedding getting sick along with others. I will bring you some pictures when you get well.
Not a doctor but have worked in healthcare long enough that I feel comfortable telling you that you don't want your cousin there-1) Tamiflu doesn't really do much, more of a sugar pill then anything else might shorten the symptoms by a day or two and can cause a whole list of bad side-effects, 2) usually it's 7 days or 24 hrs after the fever has been able to break without the use of anti-fever meds (tylenol, ibuprofen, etc.) these kids probably wouldn't be allowed in a daycare setting with symptoms so why would they want to bring them to a wedding?
Try to tell her, in the nicest way possible, to stay home and get better. Promise lots of pictrues and tell her she'll be missed but that you think it's more important that she feels 100%
I was told my son could go back to school after 24 hours with no fever.. he had a fever from tuesday night to thursday night/friday morning
So it differs for each person.. I would be a bit concerned if they planned on coming to my wedding too!
I wouldn't want them there, either, and I'd tell them as much. People are stupid about being sick and contagious in public places!
When it comes to worrying about your health, I'd say that's the good kind of selfish. But you're one out of many unsuspecting people who will be exposed to this illness this weekend. Ask her to stay home with her family and wish her well.
She can always see pictures. ;)
I just sent her this message, I tried to phrase it in the nicest way possible, "I understand if you can't make it. If your family is still sick it's probably best to stay home so others don't catch it too. But we would still love to have you if you feel better and aren't contagious by Saturday!"
FI and I have decided to carry hand sanitizer with us on the wedding day. And maybe we'll cancel activities where we have to be really close to people - like the dollar dance. We are already not doing the receiving line (for reasons other than the flu).
Just heard from my parents that my grandma is sick too, but probably not the flu. And she is going to be riding in a car with 4 other people for 13 hours to get here, then she is staying at my parents house for the next two days. Jeez, everyone is going to get sick. And I can't really stop my grandma from hugging me.
Stupid flu season! What a mess! Out of my control though. Seems the only thing I can do is wash my hands a lot and not touch my eyes or mouth.
i got the seasonal flu shot two weeks ago. so i should be protected for that. but h1n1 isn't available here yet unless you are a healthcare worker or a pediatric patient.
So today I went to drop my OOT welcome bags off at the hotel, and they told me this family had cancelled their room. Oh sh*t. I hope I didn't totally piss them off by sending her that message last night. I just wanted to make sure she didn't come contagious. She didn't have to completely cancel everything right away!
Am I overreacting? Do you think their family is still coming but just not staying in a hotel room anymore?
nah, they probably were looking for an out from you, and when you gave it to them, just cancelled their room. they don't want to be all snotty and gross in public any more than you want them to be snotting on you at the wedding. Good luck and congrats this weekend!
After reading your update: I would call her up. If she just canceled her room & didn't tell you... she's probably upset!
I actually wouldn't have asked her not to come. I'd be happy she wasn't bringing her kids, but unless she's showing symptoms (which she was probably looking out for already) she should come to the wedding! I've taken care of someone with the flu & I didn't get it... kids and seniors are more vulnerable than a healthy 20-30 something year old.
Nope. To be honest, I would have been really upset if I'd gotten that message. So she might be pissed. I'd call her.
I have to say that I spent all of last week and part of the weekend with a little girl who was diagnosed with H1N1 on Saturday and I'm totally fine. My daughter, her sister and both of her parents are as well. I think you'll be fine.
yeah she was sick too. She had the flu too. Maybe I'll see if I can get a hold of her.

FI's cousin posted on FB that her and her kids are sick at home with the flu. They tested positive for influenza A and were put on tamiflu. She said she was still going to try to come to my wedding.
Umm, are they still going to be contagious? The hospital I work at tells us not to come in for 7 days if we feel like we have the flu. We are supposed to stay at home in isolation that whole time. These people will not have been at home for 7 days by the time they come to my wedding. Or does the fact that they had tamiflu speed up that time? I just don't want them coming to my wedding still contagious and getting me or any other guests sick. The flu can be spread so easily, especially by 3 and 5 year olds.
Any doctors have any more info for me?
