As for the flu shot, it does help but it doesn't protect against everything. This is the first year I have gotten it for Ashley, however she got the mist and not the shot. There are six kids that sit at Ashley's table at school... and last week there were five empty chairs and Ashley at the table. They all had the flu. Coincidence? Maybe I guess we won't know for sure, but I think the shot helped. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Coincidence? Maybe, but it could also be how each immune system is. Almost every kid in Kylie's class has been out this school year with the flu. Kylie has not had it at all (knock on wood). Her teacher commented to me recently that I must have gotten Kylie the flu shot, which I replied "no, we don't get them". Kylie has had sniffles, etc, but that's it. So I guess that could be coincidence too. Who knows.

My heart goes out to that family.

Yeah my mom did too and my DH gets it every year but he always has some weird side affect from it every year that he thinks is completely coincidental and I refuse to get it. My mom got it twice, and she's had the flu each time she's gotten it. I think it affects different people in different ways. I got Aubrey the first round of the flu shot this year because of her age, I didn't get the second round because ever since the first round she's been sick with a runny nose, cough, etc..
