Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Oh Beth. I am just at a loss for words. Sending prayers across the miles. Im so sorry. BRittany Just thought I would let you all know that My daughter Brittany(Down Syndrome) died this last wednesday. Preleminarily they think that Croup shut down her airway(smaller passages and all that) during the middle of the night. I had taken her to the er the evening before that knew that she had croup. They sent her home with an oral steroid at 11:09pm. she wanted to sleep on the couch in theliving room and this is something she has done in the past during the summer so lket her. Her 13 year old brother found her. Came and got me. She was long gone. We found her between 3am and 3:30am. I plan on still reading and lurking....but I won't be replying for a while. I am still in shock I think. Hugs BEth http://www.tracheos <http://www.tracheostomy.com/trachkids/kids2/brittany.htm> tomy.com/trachkids/kids2/brittany.htm I am the " special needs " child. I am your teacher. If you allow me, I will teach you what is really important in life. I will give you and teach you unconditional love. I gift you with my innocent trust and my total dependency.

Most of all, I teach you hope and faith. ~Author Unknown~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 O Beth I can't imagine the shock and anguish you are going through. This is every parents worst nightmare. Micah gets the croup so badly also and we had to run just this past winter to the ER with him almost not breathing. Had a police escort. I so fear what you are now gong through. I so wish I could be there next to you to just sit and hold you. Know that you are in my prayers. Loree ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 My deepest sympathy Beth - remember you have plenty of friends on this site who will be there for you, in any way we can, sometimes just being able to vent your anger/feelings/disbelief with friends, who may not be in your exact position but do have an understanding of how you may be feeling can help with the healing process.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Darlene: You miss understood what I said. I said I had a similar case in which the young man died. He developed severe pneumonia, had bouts of anemia and pancytopenia during his illness. He died suddenly one morning. We was DOA. RealTime lab did the autopsy materials. We found several species of Aspergillus in brain, liver and lungs along with mycotoxins. We did not do Brittany . Also, Darlene, when I click on the reply to group in your email, the wrong address come up. You need to check this out. Dr. Thrasher, Are you saying here that RealTime lab did the testing and it was found that Brittany and her husband autopsy reveals Aspergillus species and mycotoxins from PCR DNA were found. If so, was this the cause of death. Thanks for your input. Darlene Jack-Dwayne: Thrasher, Ph.D. Toxicologist/Immunotoxicologist/Fetaltoxicologist www.drthrasher.org toxicologist1@...
