Hey everyone.  The last Facebook entry 11 hours ago about the boy in New Caney with the mystery illness was very grim.  He is getting worse and his mom (I think it's she who posts) said "he is dying". Even though he is too weak to do biopsies, they are going to go ahead with them as it's thier only choice to find out how to help him. A friend of mine has set up a PayPal acccout that goes directly to his mother.  His mom and 3 siblings have been staying in a hotel, so that is a big expense all by itself. If you want info on the Pay Pal acct to donate pls PM me. I'm not sure if I am allowed to post it here. Am I?? 4951

I just can't fathom the thought of this. Is there a support page, like the Facebook page you mentioned. I think now is the time to do an awareness program, much like they did when Ryan Milley was diagnosed. With meningitis. Most people were not aware of the symptoms and when they would need medical attention. If the public is at least made aware then I think that it will cut down on some of the rumors and hysteria. JMO as a parent. 4951

@4psychos His started with stomach flu type symptoms, Katie's was Strep and the Dayton boy's was mono.  It's like thier bodies are going haywire instead of fighting these normal teen infections. Like I said, I'm terrified that my boys will get a cold... 4951

Since they all began differently it seems to be connected to the fact that they were in a state of low immunity while fighting off the illness.   I know that if you have allergies and your body is fighting off an allergen it leaves your immune system open to getting things it would not normally get ill from due to over taxing the immune system when it is looking elsewhere fighting something else.  So  some bug is gaining access while the immune system is low.  Just guessing.  4951

Last year my DD was admitted into Texas Children's. She was fine on Tuesday except a few symptoms of allergies which is not uncommon with given her asthma.
She woke Wednesday and 100% blind. At Texas children's the first doctor came in and said it was very very rare that a 9 year old would have MS, but looking at her Catscan and spinal fluids she has a very high possibility they were waiting on one test and two more doctors to review. The next doctor that came in (Neurologist) said he is going to run more test and another spinal they just want to make sure everything is confirmed but this is where it was headed. ***if you do not believe in prayers skip this segment of my post***
My DH uncle is a preacher and the one who married us heard about what was going on and came to see her. He began to pray with such passion and belief it was unreal feeling. He started singing hymnal songs and laying hands on her. It was very intense. When the optometrist came in about two hours later, he said he reviewed all of the test and all though they all looked to be positive they all met up again to look at the final test. It was negative!
She still had a long journey ahead of her, but we just knew she would be just fine. I tell you that because they believe what might of happened (because it was such an unusual case) that her immune system was weak from her allergies and it might have just been a regular kid cold, but her little body wasn't strong enough to fight. It attacked both of her optic nerves causing them to swell and loose her vision.
So many factors played into it, and it was a terrifying experience.
MS usually presents in people over 18 and have had other indications/symptoms.

This scares me terribly. We just heard about Katie.  What is this? What do they think it could be and why is it so fast.  Please keep us updated...... ):  Prayers to everyone in that family. 4951
