Earlier this summer, my oldest son caught H1N1. He got over the flu, but got the post viral pneumonia. He developed serious complications from the pneumonia, and had to have two lung surgeries and was in the hospital a while. He came home from the hospital on a PICC line for a month. This was in August. Just yesterday, he was diagnosed with pleurisy, another complication of the H1N1/pneumonia fiasco.
Anyway, now my youngest has just been diagnosed with H1N1 and I am nervous and upset. I know it is silly, that he probably won't have the complications his brother had. But my two youngest boys have pretty bad asthma, so anything that could affect their lungs always scares me. We haven't been able to find any vaccine available, and H1N1 is hitting our school system pretty hard right now. I guess it is a waiting game to see how long it is until the other one gets it too.
Any positive vibes/thoughts/prayers would surely be appreciated!
Thanks,
Angela
