As of this morning 7-31-2009 they have diagnosed Katy with Viral meningitis, which is the kind you would want to get if you get it. They are having to wait to see if there are any signs or bacterial in the culture. Katy is in A LOT of pain right now. She said her neck and back are being stabbed over and over. Please keep your prayers coming that she will pull through this quickly and that this does NOT turn into bacterial.
My very close friend Katy has been having severe headaches the last few days. The pain got so severe yesterday that she ended up having to go to the hospital. She was admitted and is now facing the diagnosis of meningitis.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. There are many types of meningisits:
Viral Meningitis
Bacterial Meningitis: which include the following
Meningococcal
Meningococcal Septicemia
Pneumococcal Meningitis
TB Meningitis
Fungal Meningitis
Amoebic Meningitis
At this point in time they do not know which type of meningitis Katy has. She is hooked up to IV's, on 2 antibiotics and pain medicine. Im very worried and concerend for her. She has a husband and 2 small boys at home. Please pray that she will get through this illness and recover quickly
