Missoula Infant Dies After Probable Swine Flu Diagnosis
A Missoula infant dies after a battle with H1N1 influenza and other infections. According to the family spokesperson, Conner Hainer-Zavarelli passed away on October 18th at 1:30 PM at a Seattle Hospital. An autopsy will be performed. We're told that, most likely, the H1N1 influenza will be a secondary cause of death. Doctors tell the family that Conner's body was working overtime to fight the Swine flu when another infection set in. We're told that infection is Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis, or in other words, bacterial meningitis. That's when Conner's infection worsened to the point where he was life flighted to Seattle. We will continue to keep you updated as we learn more information.

A Missoula baby is fighting for his life in a Seattle hospital after being diagnosed with H1N1 influenza. The seven month old is now on life support. Conner Hainer-Zavarelli started showing flu-like symptoms last Tuesday and on Thursday, his aunt, Tiffany, took him to Community Medical Center. Doctors confirmed that he had the Swine flu. By Friday morning, Conner was vomiting blood and bile and had stopped breathing. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors had to resuscitate him three times before he was lifeflighted to Seattle. Doctors say that while he was fighting the flu, another infection set in. His aunt says before the flu, Conner was a completely healthy baby. The family is in desperate need of financial and moral support. If you would like to help, you can call Debra Dodge at 493-1297.
