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.

Hopefully we will fare well through this year's bout. Thank you for your well wishes. It is a bit disconcerting to hear the stories of the deaths of young children and teens and then have your own become sick with the same illness blamed for those deaths.

My mother and I have been wondering why so many children have died. We both concluded that there must have been something along with the flu that caused these deaths. After all, you may feel like you are dying but just dropping dead because you have influenza isn't normal, is it?
