Sometimes life tries to f@ck you up. Unexpectedly.
What started as a low fever, ended up being viral meningitis.
Let's go back 2 weeks.
Lauri came back home Wednesday the 19th feeling a bit down and with a low fever. The fever wouldn't go down. Saturday morning we went to a clinic, did a COVID test and the flu. All negative. Came back home, went to sleep, woke up with 103°. Straight to the hospital. In the hospital they did blood and urine work, X-ray, EKG all good. Send him home with Tylenol.
Monday we saw his doctor, same, Tylenol or ibuprofen.
He couldn't work, sleeping the whole day, and a fever.
Tuesday he did not look ok, Wednesday he looked lost, was not speaking well and scared the crap out of all of us💔
Back to the hospital.
Blood work, urine, x ray, CT scan, nothing!!!!
He was finally admitted. MRI, EEG and finally a lumber puncture.
Started him on antibiotics before finding what was wrong. We still don't have all the results back. But they did find an infection.
Viral meningitis.
I'm posting this not for pity, but awareness.
If you feel there's something wrong, keep pressuring. If you feel it in your gut, don't stop. Go back to the hospital. He was finally released last night, after a week of tests, countless poking, 3 IVs, that should be like 7 because they couldn't find the veins.
Life is so precious
"One day you are in, and the next day, you are out!"
Like Heidi would say.
Mi Lalito gave me a scare the past 2 weeks.
What would I do without him💔💔💔
