So sad R.I.P.

How sad. I feel bad for Cameron.

Wow, he's so young, this is very sad.

I'm shocked. I wonder if he was a smoker. I've heard getting pneumonia can be quite common for those who've smoked.

Very sad indeed. Some strains of pneumonia can be very dangerous. It is not an illness to take lightly. I didn't know there were vaccines for it until this year when it was offered with my flu shot. I haven't had the flu in 20 years but decided this year to go for the shot...both of them.

I am currently sicker than a dog I know it isn't pneumonia because I've had it before and your lungs are very painful...but I have congestion deep in my lungs that will not come up. I'm going to the doc tomorrow.

Strange,isn't it? Took only one bout of flu for me to see the light! I was hoping for death just to feel better! I never,never will miss again.

Yep. Good for 5 years. I got the flu shot in one arm,pneumovax in the other & felt nothing. I always take an aspirin ,in case of reaction.

My sister got it a few years ago, and it took months for her to truly recover. It was nasty.
Pnemonia is no joke indeed! Never had it-never want it.

I'm so sad for Cameron. It is so hard to lose a parent, especially suddenly.

He sounded like too much of a health nut. You can develop it easily right after flu.

Good for you!

Allergy based,I'll bet. Eat lots of hot sauce-helps the lungs secrete the junk.

Poor Cameron. That's terrible news.

**buttmunch** · April 16th, 2008, 08:47 AM

I'm neutral about her but sorry if anyone looses a parent. It's not easy.

**SweetPea** · April 16th, 2008, 10:59 AM

He was so young. How sad for her.

**Merlot-N-Bali** · April 16th, 2008, 11:19 AM

That is so sad. My heart goes out to her.

Is it just my imagination, or does it seem like there have been an awful lot of pneumonia-related deaths this year?
