Please pray for him bee's...

My SIL just called and told me and my mom hasn't found out yet, but she's going to freak! Not only about me nephew but me getting it since I have a weak immune system...

My nephews are small for their ages. My brother and SIL are not big people so it's only natural that their children would be tiny. My little nephew is 7 but he still wears size 5 clothing and is only about 35 pounds. It's just super scary because he has been in the hospital more than a few times over the years for dehydration while being ill. They take care of him, it's just that he is so small everything hits him a little harder than a bigger child of the same age. And then if his older brother (he's almost 10 and only about 50 pounds) gets it....oh my I hope they are going to be alright :(

Thanks! My SIL said that like 1/2 the school was out with it last week. I was just around him over the weekend...yikes. Thanks for the advice and the reassurance that the regular flu is worse. I'm just worried about his size and his history with dehydrating

They just got back from the doctor and he DOESN'T have it! Phew. The school nurse told him them he does but the doctor tested and he doesn't...he has some other visus and needs to stay home the rest of the week. That's a good thing, but he still gets very sick. I'm glad it's not the swine flu...or flu in general.

Sorry for the freak out...he's just so little...Why would the school nurse tell my SIL that he has it when she doesn't know for sure? Getting people all worked up like that when she doesn't know for sure.

Awww poor kid! That's so awful! I have a weak immune system, too - I understand the extra-concern these things need! But at least it isn't the swine flu!

The school nurse is probably slightly mis-informed and under orders to send kids with certain symptoms home - and to warn them that it is could be swine flu which she took to mean "Tell them they have swine flu!"

You can't be sure until you're tested whether you have Swine Flu or not.  

So glad its not H1N1.  I hope he feels better soon!

Yea she called my SIL and said he has every symptom, has it, and to come get him right away. He has to stay room the rest of the week anyway and she has to stay with him (I offered to babysit since I'm off this week but she wont let me over). I thought they had the vaccine for H1N1 but my SIL said in PA they are only giving it to dr., nurses, babies, and like city school districts. I'm not sure if that is right but at least they had the regular flu vaccine.

thanks everyone. I hope he does too

I know. My SIL rarely gets worked up about stuff but I know she was freaking about this. He seemed fine yesterday when I was there and then the nurse called and said he had it...she just shouldn't have jumped the gun but warned and sent him home. Think of all the other parents she's probably freaking out of the weeks.

What a mess!!! SIL just called any my nephews cousin has the swine flu. SIL had called his mom to tell her she had to take my nephew to the doctor and so his cousins mom quick took him. Now the cousin DOES have it...my nephews just spent the weekend camping with him and sleeping in the same bed!!(sorry that was confusing)

Does anyone know if it could have been too early to test my nephew? Like I know mono has to be tested in a certain time frame to get an accurate result...

Yea he had ALL the signs...he didn't have the rash but over the weekend he had something that my SIL said looked like a rash, but other than that he has all the signs right now. I just hope he doesn't end up in the hospital! I'm sure he wont...being positive
