Help Mom has flu... likely H1N1

Hi.

My mom has the flu. She has fever close to 102 which is only just dampened by acetaminophen extra strength. She has nausea.

She has been vaccinated for Influenza A so if she had managed to contract that, it would be much milder. This is not mild. It is not Influenza A. And it is not a cold. So, even though she hasn't been swabbed... that pretty much leaves H1N1... which is going around. She and dad had to go to the doctor's last week - good chance she picked it up in the waiting room.

I'm a bit worried about her. She has a strong immune system in general so she should be ok. But still. My mom hardly ever gets sick and when she does not hardly with fever like this.

I'm a bit worried about dad too although he isn't showing signs for the moment. He has mild COPD i don't know why they didn't consider him in a risk bracket and give him the vaccine but... anyway.

I'm eating a lot of raw garlic i'm not really worried about getting sick. But i'm worried about them.

Please send good thoughts and prayers.
Thanks.
