“staying strong”

New Amy is what Adam lovingly refers to as the Amy who’s come so far and made so much progress. The Amy who doesn’t worry about things she has no control of. The Amy who is more in charge of her life. We like the new Amy.

Monday afternoon Adam called me after listening to a disturbing piece on NPR and reluctantly started talking about his concerned regarding the swine flu. This is not something he would normally bring up for fear I would get crazy, but his concerned for the flu forced him to share his thoughts. My low key, not worried reaction surprised him and he thanked the new Amy for being so rational. My thinking is what can we do about it, but be smart, watch for signs, and get to the doctor when necessary. I’ve devoted time to talking to and begging my girls to constantly wash their hands at school and not to share food.

Today however, feels different. I’ve been desperately trying to keep the old Amy at bay as the flu is spreading and words like pandemic are surfacing in the media…I can feel my own panic level rise.

Adam’s advice, stay strong.

Advice I’ve taken to heart. Instead of letting myself get consumed by watching the numbers rise I decided to channel the new Amy and turn my fears into action. I found myself at the grocery store this afternoon stocking up on items we might need (meds, cough drops, etc.). Also buying extra food so we feel no need to go on the outside if we don’t have to. I know it sounds sort of crazy, but I guess you just never know and I’d rather be doing something.
