Re: The dead children thread

Re: The dead children thread

Hi there, I'm a new member, and I must say at first I was appalled at the title of this thread. However, after reading it, I have to agree 100% with this thread. The number of children that are dying from this virus is heartbreaking. The neglect of the press, media, and government to give an accurate representaion of actual number of healthy kids that are dying from this virus is reprehensible. This issue hits especially close to home for me. On August 21st my HEALTHY 10 year old daughter went from perfectly healthy to critically ill on a ventilator within 13 hours from H1N1. (Initially that was not the diagnosis until 2 days into it). We were told that she would not survive numerous times. She developed septic shock, respiratory failure, pneumonia and pulmonary edema. Thankfully after 14 days in the intensive care unit she began her recovery, against all odds. Not without consequence however, she was left with a anoxic brain injury that has left devastating effects.


We have to spread the word that H1N1 is killing and destroying our healthy children!!! I commend what you are doing here, and am going to add a link to it on my H1N1 pediatric survivor page at facebook. Here is the link to my page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/H1N1-Pediatric-Survivors/159536069810 I have it open to view, you dont have to be a member of facebook to view it.

Also, I think you may have missed some New Mexico pediatric deaths, let me know if you would like me to get you info on those.

Thank you,
Stacie Nason

Re: The dead children thread

I hated to even have to start a thread like this, but am glad you became aware of it, but unfortunatly understand all too well what is at stake. :( I do hope your daughter get's well. Please post any stories of children from New Mexico. There are way too many cases that are swept under the rug. Best wishes for the holidays :)

Re: The dead children thread

Re: The dead children thread

Welcome oneladymedic. I am very sorry to learn of your daughter's severe illness.

I do not think that people generally know that children may be severely injured by this virus when they do manage to survive. Thank you for spreading the word through your Facebook page.
 
Re: The dead children thread

Re: The dead children thread

Thanks for all postings on this thread. I spent several hours yesterday reading through messages, and especially looking at the pictures

Its heartbreaking to think about all those children and youngsters. In a genuine way this thread pay deep respect to the memories of those who are no longer among us

We are also reminded of how fragile life can be

Yes. Very fragile.

As the H1N1 vaccine is becoming more and more available, please consult your medical practitioner to see if any of your near ones are candidates for the mist or inoculation. It is still effective against the current H1N1 strains.

Also, please take your children for a routine medical checkup if they have not been recently. Apparently minor bacterial infections can greatly complicate the progression of swine flu. To this end - please increase hand washing education among your circle of friends and family.

We are losing the effectiveness of tamiflu gradually. Do not depend on this treatment to help in the future.

Get involved in your school PTA and contact the administration to be sure they are closely monitoring the disease status in your area.

If temporary home schooling is necessary please refer to our references here:

Albuquerque, New Mexico (AP) 12-09

New Mexico Health Department officials say four more people have died from swine flu, bringing the statewide total this year to 40 deaths.The latest deaths include a baby boy from Quay County and a 49-year-old man from Bernalillo County, both without chronic medical conditions.

A 54-year-old woman from Curry County and a 74-year-old woman from Valencia County who had chronic medical conditions also died.

The state Health Department has found that American Indians are over-represented in deaths related to swine flu, also known as H1N1.

This ethnic group represents 10 percent of New Mexico?s population, but accounts for 20 percent of the deaths.

The department will target vaccination efforts toward American Indians.

A neighborhood in Blaine wants to install a climbing wall in honor of a 9-month-old boy who died from an H1N1-related illness.[/B]

The climbing wall for toddlers would be placed in South Lake Park in The Lakes development, resident Greg Broder told the Blaine Park Board on Tuesday, Nov. 24.

More than 45 families have contributed money toward the project, and a plaque would be placed about 6 feet from the climbing equipment, Broder said.

Commissioner Rex Markle proposed that staff work with Broder to develop a site plan that could be brought to the Park Board at a meeting in January or February.

Parks and Recreation Director Jim Kappelhoff said Broder submitted a description of the plan, which will be an agenda item at a January meeting. The Park Board will make a recommendation to the City Council after reviewing the proposal.

The City Council recently approved a policy for naming/renaming city facilities, such as building, parks and streets, which the Park Board supported. Kappelhoff said the city could move forward with the naming/renaming policy or a memorial policy, which is also in place.

- Kappelhoff updated the board on progress concerning Lakeside Commons Park, which is slated to open next May in The Lakes development. A walk through with the consultant, contractor and city staff was scheduled for Monday, Nov. 30, and an update will be presented to the board in January. Kappelhoff said all the facilities are constructed, with interior painting and flooring still to be completed.

5 die of swine flu in county (Washington State)

5-month-old boy among victims in recent weeks, health officials say

By Sharon Salyer
Herald Writer

Five more people have died of swine flu in Snohomish County in just the past several weeks, a sudden jump in deaths from a disease that health officials say is anything but benign.

All the deaths were announced by the Snohomish Health District late Wednesday evening.

The public health agency received test results over the past several days that confirmed the patients died from swine flu, said Dr. Gary Goldbaum, the county's health officer.

?We were receiving word that there were several (test results) pending,? Goldbaum said. ?We wanted to get all the information rather than announcing one after another after another.?

These are the first confirmed deaths from the virus since two men died in the spring, raising the total number of swine flu deaths in the county to seven.

The recent deaths include a 5-month-old boy from Tulalip, first suspected of having died from the virus last month.

The other deaths involved a Snohomish man in his 50s who died on Nov. 20; a Marysville man in his 50s who died on Nov. 24; a Bothell woman in her 60s who died on Nov. 24; and an Everett woman in her 20s who died on Dec. 2.

All but one had some underlying health condition, such as asthma, diabetes or heart problems, which increases the chances of people dying from swine flu.

CPH: Local 5-Year-Old Died After Contracting H1N1

By Donna Willis | Web Content Coordinator
Published: December 3, 2009
COLUMBUS, Ohio?The city of Columbus has had its second confirmed pediatric death with an association to H1N1 influenza.


A 5-year-old boy died last month, and Columbus Public Health confirmed Thursday that the boy had H1N1 influenza.

The 5-year-old died Friday, Nov 13.
The cause of death has not been filed currently.

Lab reports confirmed the child did have H1N1 influenza, but that doesn?t mean H1N1 was the cause of death, according to CPH?s Jose Rodriguez.


Fourteen-year-old Jon Fowler died Thursday, Oct. 8, after contracting the H1N1 virus.

Fowler?s death was the city?s first local pediatric death from the virus.

Protocol requires the reporting to the health department of any pediatric death in which the decedent was carrying H1N1. Adult deaths are not required to be reported.

The health department continues to monitor the factors that are the hallmarks for its evaluation of the disease.

Rodriguez said those indicators show a falling off of cases. There still is a strong possibility of a third wave of the flu in about eight weeks, if it were to follow the pattern of earlier outbreaks.

Confirmed death in Mesa County from H1N1

Posted: Dec 3, 2009 04:41 PM EST

Updated: Dec 3, 2009 04:41 PM EST

KJCT(Grand Junction, Co.)-We have learned of the first pediatric death in Mesa County from the H1N1 virus. The Mesa County Health Department says the victim is a teenager and had severe underlying medical conditions. To protect the family's privacy, the department will not release additional details about the case. The Health Department extends sympathy to the family.

Flu activity in Mesa County appears to have peaked the last week of October when 20 cases were hospitalized within that week. Last week, two cases were hospitalized. To date, there have been 95 hospitalized cases of influenza in Mesa County.

Dr. Aduddell, Director of Mesa County Health Department, says, "Although we have seen a significant decrease in H1N1 activity, I continue to encourage those in the high priority groups receive the vaccine."

7-year old child tragically dies of H1N1

FONTANA -- A West Heritage Elementary School student has died due to complications from the H1N1 flu.

Joey Holt, 7, of Fontana died Nov. 5 at San Antonio Community Hospital in Upland.

An autopsy released Monday by the San Bernardino County Coroner's Department to his parents indicated he had acquired the virus, the boy's mother Jessica Holt said.

Joey had been sent home from school on Nov. 2 with a fever, but it went away the next day, Jessica Holt said.

"But by that Wednesday morning, he woke up pale, lethargic and wasn't himself," she said.

Jessica Holt took her son on Nov. 4 to their peditrician and the boy came home later that day.

Jessica Holt said her son's health took a turn for the worse at 7:45 a.m. Nov. 5.

"That's when I called the ambulance and that's where it ended," she said.

"I'm just in so much shock ... my baby is gone."

Parents of girl who died from H1N1 want vaccines for all children
written by: Jeffrey Wolf
GRAND JUNCTION - The family of a 15-year-old girl who died from the H1N1 flu says they are begging everyone to get their children vaccinated against the virus.


Paige Maickel died on Nov. 27 at The Children's Hospital in Aurora. She is from Grand Junction and is the first reported pediatric death from H1N1 in Mesa County.

Her parents say she was a healthy girl before she was diagnosed with H1N1. After her diagnosis, doctors also discovered she had leukemia.

Since she was healthy before getting the flu, she did not meet the criteria to get a vaccine in Mesa County. Many clinics have now opened up their restrictions for who can get vaccines in Mesa County.
