Hope the little one gets better quickly. I have heard it is pretty nasty, but we have been so lucky thus far.
Have a lovely week. TTFN ~Marydon
Aww, I hope the poos little guy feels better soon!
Sorry to hear about your little cutie--hope his recovery is quick!
Melinda
Oh no!! Poor little guy! I hate it when the little ones are sick!
Hope the little ones gets better fast. He is a doll. Did they keep him in the hospital? I guess they are over run with cases because it seems they are sending them home even with 104 fever here.
No way if mine had Asama and I had insurance id through a fit.
I will be praying.
Joy,
I will keep Nicholas in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Hopefully the flu season won’t be as bad as predicted, but it is so important to take proper precautions. Thank you for the good information about the symptoms to watch for.

H1N1 is spooky, but I'm sure he will recover just fine. My daughter also had it, and while I admit I freaked out when I found out, it turned out to be not so bad.
Hi Joy,
Oh poor baby boy! It sure is going around. My God-Daughter was just diagnosed with the Swine-flu she lives is Colorado.
Thank you so much for visiting "Home is Where the Heart is". Its is wonderful to meet you and read your blog.
I will keep your sweetie in my prayers.

I hope he feels better soon! We have people coming down sick with it all around us -- lots of kids at school and now my niece. I'm just waiting for my own kids to come down with it :-(
So sorry to hear about your nephew. I am hoping he is on the mend soon. HINI is very scary.
