When my daughter was seven weeks old she had a fever and I took her to the local the ER. They tested her blood count and discovered that it had dropped. Upon follow up with the pediatrician later that day, we were sent to St. Jude in Peoria. While in the clinic, my daughter became unresponsive. She would no longer open her eyes. A pediatric emergency response team flooded our exam room and hooked her up to an IV. Dr. Ross immediately admitted my daughter. I held her as they wheeled me in a chair to her room. During this transport, she finally re-opened her blue eyes again, and I could see her looking up at me. Over the next 48 hours, the doctors at St. Jude administered two treatments of a blood transfusion and tested my infant daughter trying to figure out the cause of her symptoms. They administered a spinal tap, a cranial ultrasound, and a myriad of blood tests. At last, they discovered that she had contracted viral meningitis. The blood transfusion took and her blood count came back to an acceptable number. My husband and I stayed at the hospital for three days while friends and family took care of our other child and pets. Today, my daughter is 15 months old and has not had a significant health scare since. St. Jude saved my daughters life!
