October 1, 2005

It is now October 1st, your 21st birthday and we are here to celebrate with family and friends. You are under the weather and I am not sure what is going on. You are agitated and running a low grade temp. You seem very uncomfortable in the chair and Anna your nurse suggested we put you to bed. Your temp is 102 and climbing. You continue to be agitated and are very sweaty and moaning a lot. At 7 pm your temp climbed to 105.6 and it was decided to take you to the hospital. By the time we got there you were 107 and very lethargic. You ended up in ICU for a week, they did a spinal tap for Spinal Meningitas which was negative and blood, urine and chest ex-rays to check everything out. Nothing showed up but they have you on IV antibiotics and you stayed in ICU for one week.

We went back to Hartwyck and everything seemed to be going well and you continued to thrive.
