Rotan boy, 14, dies after fighting the flu

A 14-year-old Rotan boy died Tuesday at Cook Children?s Medical Center in Fort Worth after battling flu symptoms for three weeks.
Michael Soliz, an eighth-grader at Rotan Junior High, was apparently suffering from swine flu and other illnesses.
?We were told he was suffering from swine flu, pneumonia and a staph infection,? said Rotan Superintendent Kent Ruffin.
He said the boy was a ?top-notch student? who was ?liked by everyone.?
?We hated to lose him,? Ruffin said.
Grief counselors were brought in Wednesday to help other students with the loss, he said.
?It was very helpful,? Ruffin said.
There have not been that many flu cases reported in Rotan this year, Ruffin said. Two elementary students came down with the flu, but it has not been diagnosed as H1N1.
?Both of the elementary students had to be hospitalized,? he said.
School officials have sent literature home to help parents recognize flu symptoms. And parents have been instructed not to bring children to school who are running fever.
Plus, measures are being taken to minimize the spread of germs.
?We are wiping down doorknobs and we have a plan should an outbreak occur,? he said.
Last week, the De Leon school district and the Comanche Paradigm school canceled classes because of the flu. Both reopened this week.
