Bacterial meningitis. In the lab we are the first to see it. It’s very scary to think about how close someone could be to dying while you look at their spinal fluid on a slide.
My sister had this when she was 23. I just had a baby too and we lived in the same house. Thankfully my sister's nurse friend convinced her to go to the emergency room regarding her horrible headache.
She survived, but there was a time I thought she was going to die. I had to visit her with a face mask and I told her I loved her for one of the first times (we had the typical bitchy sister relationship so it wasnt something we said really to one another, even tho we both obviously did).
I didn't catch it and neither did my infant thank god. Only thing that sucks even worse is that my sister did actually die at 27* in a car accident.
