Ugh....spent the night in the ER with . She had a high fever and

was vomiting a lot and had neck and head pain. They had to do a

lumbar puncture spinal tap to rule out bacterial meningitis and that

was no fun at all! Fortunately she has the viral version and while

that's no fun either, it's not dangerous. Just like a really bad flu

with a terrible headache and stiff neck. She's sleeping a lot and

not eating, but should feel better soon.

Thanks Debi. She was better for a couple of days, but had a bit of a

relapse today. More vomiting and she slept for 22 hours! That's like

a week's worth of sleep for her. She also looks like a skeleton now

since she is thin to begin with and has an incredibly high metabolism

and needs at least 3-4 thousand calories a day, and she hasn't eaten

in over 4 days now. I'm glad she's resting though because she

obviously needs it.

It's scary when they get like that. I have a pic of Allie laying in

her bed sick and she looks so emaciated with her rib cage sticking up

and her stomach so sunken. I hope the sleep is a good sign she's in

the home stretch. When my kids start getting better they always sleep

for a very long time then wake up recovered. Of course, while they are

sleeping all that time I'm panicking that they are in a coma, on

death's door, etc.

Debi many people tell of me that I to look like death rolled

over..... not sure what that means but you shared a phrase that had

of the death words to it too. '

Much tell of me I to also look like a toxic human dump when I to be

of sick because the dark rings get very black and the face very pale

and white and the skin very dry and the voice of me is of much shaky

and different when of recovering as my missy shares I to sound like a

much old granny person/ I to also be of very inattentive and stare

out as in a day dream trance like state.

But if one takes of me to the ER then I to be of given IV things and

even though I to hate them and they cause of me such panic the whole

body tends to react as if hyperventilating and shakes strongly as in

shock sorts of things. most think I to be of severely chilling during

that IV things but then most also share that after an IV I to be of

more connected than ever. they share I to be of more attentive than

my natural states, my language is of more clear and my thinking is of

more clear. Even among family members the eye to eye is of more noted

for a day or two after the IV so not know of why that is of that way

but this is of what others tell of me.

i to know for some of us on the spectrum we tend to be of forget of

to eat, and or drink and so for this tend to stay in dehydrated

states. which is of not a good things to be in but for self unaware

of it or doing it to self over and over. also this is of not good if

one is of to have of autoimmune issues.
