Another Sad day..........
Today we found out that at 4:55pm our friend Kitty lost her fight with H1N1. She started out not feeling too well and was taken to the hospital on Sept 15th and was put into the ICU. At first they diagnosed her with pneumonia. Then her cough got worse and her heart rate shot up and they took her to the ER. As time went on she got better and then would get thrown a cure ball and get worse. They finally came up with her having H1N1. The last I had heard she was getting better and then all of a sudden today I hear she had been on life support (she had been on Ventilator when she first went in and was never taken off it till today) and that the family was taking her off today. I couldn't believe it and I had to look every where to make sure I was reading the right things. I was the one who called and told my husband and he is taking it really hard. He had gotten to know her better then I had. They worked together for many years and got to know each other pretty well. He is now calling all his friends to let them know how much they mean to him. So I just want everyone out there to really think about going and getting all the flu shots you can. They say the H1N1 is nothing to fear, but then it hits close to home and you know it's no joke. RIP Kitty!!! You touched my heart and I will never forget you!!!
