My 15-year-old niece Brittany has been diagnosed with swine flu.

My sister, her husband, and son (my nephew) have all been given Tamiflu to hopefully prevent anyone else from catching it, but my sister was feeling fatigued and needed to stay home and rest today.

Prayers and positive energy for the whole family, please.

Yes ..prayers and energy.

I am glad there is a diagnosis..and an awareness.The young seem to be the target and those with pre existing conditions.

People who have been vacationing in Spain and the Spanish Islands are bringing Swine flu into Germany in epidemic numbers. But you know what? They are all better after a week. I think the worst thing about this Swine flu is the name! Really...and it doesn't even have anything to do with swines.

Wishing your niece a speedy recovery..positive energy is on its way.

Meredith of course your fmaily has my prayers. We all tend to think this flu isn't bac, but I still hear of tough conditions and people loosing their lives.

I'll keep them in my prayers. Keep us posted as to how they are doing. Blessings dear one.

Thanks everyone! The minute my sister said "swine flu" my heart started racing, because we all hear those stories when someone dies. She's keeping me updated so I'll be sure to tell you all about any changes.

Meredith, just read this post. So glad to know your niece is out of danger.

When my mom was admitted to the hospital, earlier this summer, she had 7 out of 8 symptoms of the swine flu. The lady sharing the room with her, died from the swine flu. I praise God that mom got better too.

It's scary, cause people are still dying of this.

Meredith, I've only just come to read your post as well and mighty relieved to know that Brittany recovered from her bout with the nasty swine flu.
