An otherwise healthy, not at risk little boy in the county next to me died Saturday from complications of the flu. It was the first death due to the flu here in NC that I have heard about. I just got home from the doctor's office with my three boys. They all tested positive for the flu. I am not in a panic but I am concerned. My 17 yo seems especially hard hit.

Hopefully your family will "weather the storm" well and not suffer from a severe consequences from the flu. I'm glad that you CORRECTLY state that the child died from COMPLICATIONS, and not directly from the flu. Occasionally a healthy person does die from complications, but this isn't the norm; I would think that most flu deaths are in those who have underlying conditions.
