I did blame myself for a long time...but I never knew anybody who got this sick from flu.

Kaden’s mom describes seeing her finding her young son terribly ill and with pain in his legs. By the time she got him to the ER, his body was shutting down.  Kaden was saved by amputating part of both legs that had succumbed to sepsis, a complication of flu. His mom shares her guilt because she had not taken the time to get Kaden his flu shot. (Courtesy, Families Fighting Flu)
