Exposed to the flu :(

My brother, who lives with us, has what the dr said is the flu and bronchitis. (Never got his flu shot) He was exposed to it either Tuesday or Wed. He came down with it on Friday. My 3 year old spent a lot of time with him on Thursday and Friday. My son got his flu shot. How long does it normally take for the symptoms to appear once you are exposed? I read it can be any where from 1-4 days... I have barely been around him neither has my husband. So I am not too worried about us getting it. I am very worried for my son though...
