After three weeks of serious flu symptoms, I am acutely aware of how a 'normal' illness can be very serious for Kenny's weakened immune system.
It has been six months since his last treatments, but with so many complications, Kenny's reserves were bottomed out. He was just starting to feel a bit better and then 'wham!" - the flu put him back in bed for weeks. The suggestions made here about being extremely careful, even after treatements, is so very important. Thanks! Carol
