Telegraphed terror

Tuesday night rushed to ped ER with D, she has high fever, heartrate over 230 bpm, stop.

Blood taken, white cell count through roof, xrays of lungs & CT scan of brain done--negative, spinal tap done, stop.

Results come back "possible" positive (WTF?) for bacteria, stop. Docs think she has bacterial meningitis, stop.

Admitted to pediatric hospital from ER Wednesday, stop. IV antibiotics started while cerebral spinal fluid grows culture in lab for three days, stop.

No meningitis after 72 hours of culture growth, discharged home Saturday night, stop.

2007 can suck my ass, stop.

No seriously, how much more can be thrown at us this year? stop.

Laughing, insanely, stop.

Apparently, some dirty fucker in the hospital lab needs to wash their hands better before handling children's cerebral spinal fluid, thereby contaminating the sample with their staph, necessitating docs to think D is very sick, stop.

Dirty-handed dumb fuck, stop.
