LA CROSSE, Wis. -- A Cashton mother said there were no warning signs before her 21-month-old daughter died after contracting the H1N1 flu.
Her mother, Debra Komperud, said they attended a wedding in Wausau the day before her daughter, Aberianna Dunnam, died. That was about three weeks ago. Komperud said Aberianna was happy and energetic at the reception and fell asleep on the way home.
The next morning when she went to wake her daughter, she was cold, blue and breathing heavily. The toddler was medflighted from Cashton to La Crosse. First responders did CPR several times, but Aberianna's body couldn't fight any longer.
Komperud said the medical examiner called several days later and told her Aberianna had H1N1 flu.
Aberianna's parents are still waiting for the complete autopsy results to see if there was an unknown health condition that contributed to the child's death.
