Update on page 1....Sister is in ER

Well, as far as I know, havent got a update in about an hour, that they are still in the ER. She did get the lumbar puntcture at about 7 this morning, and now they are waiting. Please keep her in your thoughts. I really wish I didnt have to go to work today I have had no sleep because I was up all night worrying.

My mom had to take Cassie to the ER tonight. She has been there since 9 they are putting in a IV and are checking her for Meningitis.

This is all I could find on it...
Meningitis is inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, known collectively as the meninges. Meningitis may develop in response to a number of causes, usually bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, but also physical injury, cancer or certain drugs. While some forms of meningitis are mild and resolve on their own, meningitis is a potentially life-threatening condition due to the proximity of the inflammation to the brain and spinal cord. The potential for serious neurological damage or even death necessitates prompt medical attention and evaluation. Infectious meningitis, the most common form, is typically treated with antibiotics and requires close observation. Some forms of meningitis (such as those associated with meningococcus, mumps virus or pneumococcus infections) may be prevented with immunization.


I am so worried. Please keep her in your prayers. I wish I could go up there but there is no way I can with Mackenzie.

I just said prayer for her, I hope she's ok!

yikes! are they doing a lumbar puncture?
my boyfriend had one last night and he's miserable  
I hope she gets well soon!

I have no idea. All i'm getting is small updates from stupid text messages. I wish I could be by her side.

She is in my prayers! I hope that she gets well soon!
