Prayers for your little guy! May God, in His mercy and kindness, grant him a full and complete recovery. Prayers for your entire family as well!
Heartfelt prayers, for your son, and for all of your family.

I too just got over IlI (influenza like illness) they stopped testing for H1N1...so I know the ups and downs of thinking your getting better and at night a new symptom comes on fast. I was out for about 7 days, meaning unable to get energy and control coughing and thick, thick discharge from my nose. It is an awful flu for some and not so bad for others...that is the danger...most people think...”What’s all the hipe, its just a flu” but when it hits the wrong person it can be bad....people all around me felt better within 2 days...i did not. So dont anyone take this lightly...someone in your family could be affected worse than you....
My prayers are for a complete recovery for your son and that he will be well soon. May I suggest another 4 days of rest after he feels well. Rest and fluids, hugs and lots of funny movies....God’s love always in abundance!
God Bless you
Prayers up. Godspeed to you and your family.
Have you read about vitamin D? Check into it. Will pray for your son.
Yes we have. I suggest it as well. He was on a good size maintenance dose and since everyone got sick we all been on megadoses.
Prayers right now and God Bless.
Keeping your son and family in our prayers. God Bless. Jean

I’ve read a personal account by a nurse in Texas that a patient in the USA was saved from the swineflu by Intravenous Relenza too ...

Intravenous Relenza saves swine flu woman
LONDON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - British doctors have saved the life of a woman with severe swine flu after giving her an unlicensed intravenous form of GlaxoSmithKline’s (GSK.L) drug Relenza, they reported on Friday.
Relenza, or zanamivir, is currently only approved as an inhaled medicine. This version, however, did not work in the 22-year-old patient, whose immune system was impaired due to recent chemotherapy.
She also did not respond to Roche’s (ROG.VX) Tamiflu, or oseltamivir, which is given as a pill.
Doctors at University College London therefore decided to try intravenous Relenza in combination with high-dose corticosteroids and her condition improved within 48 hours.
“Although this is a single case report and direct cause and effect cannot be confirmed, the improvement in clinical status following intravenous Relenza encourages prompt further investigation,” Michael Kidd and Mervyn Singer reported.
The new H1N1 swine flu was declared a pandemic in June and has been spreading globally since then.
Other flu drugs are under development to deal with seasonal and pandemic influenza. One that has shown promise in intravenous form is BioCryst Pharmaceuticals’s (BCRX.O) experimental product peramivir. (Reporting by Ben Hirschler; Editing by David Holmes)
