Journal Entry for November 28, 2006 Mood
Tuesday, November 28, 2006
I'm wanting to start a support group for families affected by food borne illnesses. My middle daughter at age 5 contracted E. Coli which resulted in kidney failure last year. She had to undergo kidney dialysis and many other procedures while hospitalized for a month. I feel very fortunate that she survived, but finding it difficult to find support from other families with similar experience. Anybody out there who has gone through this?

    My daughter also contracted HUS in the fall of '05. She spent 34 days in the hospital, 18 days on dialysis, and a number of other difficulties. Anytime you would like to talk about life "after" let me know.

    Yes, I am out here we have been fighting HUS with my daughter for 2 1/2 years. It has been a very hard road. I would love to share with anyone.
