Este -
Just keep an eye on her symptoms, keep her from getting chilled, you know ? minimize cold drafts in the home, day and night - a hooded pajama jumpsuit is good, make sure her socks are dry at all times , make certain that she's getting her daily allowance of fluids & nutrients and
give her a cherry flavored popsicle and tell her that she'll get another each day if she gets well like a good girl.

She WILL live to accept another popsicle ... trust me !
What symptoms has she exhibited thus far ? Is Runny Pooh one of them ? :o
No, I generally don't take a flu shot unless I get a notice from my personal physician saying that everything is kosh.
Yes he's a personal friend.
