I'm sorry to hear about the loss in your family. My son had a very mild case of H1N1 a couple of weeks ago. He ran a low-grade fever on and off for a few days and was very fatigued. But that was about all he experienced. H1N1, like the seasonal flu, can be so all over the board it's hard to tell what one person may experience vs another.
