A South Bosque Elementary School fourth-grader who had been suffering from complications related to the H1N1 virus died at a San Antonio hospital Monday, according to an obituary sent to the Tribune-Herald.
Nicholas Joe Bolin, who was 9, became sick about five weeks ago. He was treated for the virus, also known as swine flu, at Scott & White Hospital in Temple and CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Children?s Hospital in San Antonio.
The obituary says that Nicholas enjoyed baseball, wrestling, water skiing and pingpong. He also liked reading, piano lessons, school activities and spending time with his older brother. He would have turned 10 on Dec. 30.
Julie Henry, a spokeswoman for Midway Independent School District, said students at South Bosque observed a moment of silence Tuesday in honor of Nicholas. The school also had counselors on hand to talk to students, she said.
Nicholas had not been at school for more than a month, Henry said. She called the boy?s death ?really, really sad.?
