I guess I jinxed myself by writing extensively about the H1N1 vaccine last week… Before we even had an opportunity to protect our family, my oldest daughter has become ill. My educated guess – the flu. Is it the seasonal flu or H1N1? I’m not entirely sure – but with the chart below I’ve come to the conclusion that there’s a very good chance it’s H1N1. Regardless, I’m monitoring her closely, and making sure she gets fluids and rest.
If anyone in your family becomes ill, below is a list of the key differences between the common cold, and H1N1. If you or someone in your family is diplaying the symptoms in the right column, then please ensure they stay home. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that your daughter is sick. Someone told me that if you’re getting flu symptoms it most likely is H1N1 as it is too early to be the seasonal flu.
Hope she feels better soon.

May I make a small suggestion? If you’re not too keen on taking her to a walk-in clinic or hospital emergency, call Tele-health. They too can determine whether she has the regular flu or H1N1 AND you can avoid the risk of her infecting others or getting infected from others if she has something else. Get better soon Sierra!!!
Hope your little one gets to feeling better soon. Thanks for sharing the info.
Hope she’s feeling better soon! We’re pretty sure J had h1n1, it’s taken a full week for her to get back to her usual self. Nasty little bug. Fortunately no one else seems to have picked it up (knock on wood!).
