HOUSTON -- Two teenagers from Montgomery and Liberty counties have died, and a third is in critical condition. Health experts said all three shared similar symptoms. Now they are working together to figure out what is behind it all.
Tyler Lane Budro, 17, was the first case. He got sick in February and died on March 10. Tyler lived in Liberty County and was a junior at Hull-Daisetta High School. His mother said he first had a fever, and then violent seizures started days later. An infectious disease specialist in Montgomery County said Tyler, as well as a teenage girl and a teenage boy in that county had similar symptoms. The girl died on April 29. The boy is in critical condition at a Houston hospital. The specialist also said the teens' symptoms included a fever, coughing, pneumonia, seizures and respiratory failure. Dr. Syed Ibrahim is Montgomery County's epidemiologist. He said they ran 30 tests on the teens, including checks for rabies and meningitis. All tests came back with negative results, so health experts still have no idea what any of the teens came down with. Dr. Ibrahim and other area health experts are still looking for answers. "I'm really concerned. I'm sad as well because these are the cases of the teenagers in our county," said Dr. Ibrahim, MD, MPH. Parents and students at New Caney High School, where the teen who is in the hospital attends, are worried too. "I think they should have informed us about it more 'cuz it's not right that some kids don't know about it and other kids are spreading (rumors) making it worse," said student Courtney Villareal. School officials in New Caney ISD said they did not notify parents because they don't have enough information. They said they don't know what they're dealing with at this point. Dr. Ibrahim said the disease or diseases do not appear to be contagious." Some in New Caney ISD said they are afraid people might panic. Health experts stress there is no need for that. They're just stumped. Tyler's grieving mom is hoping experts can crack the case very soon. "I need a reason," said Janie Budro, "but right now I don't have a reason for him not to be here." |

Assuming that they also checked for influenza A and ruled it out, it could be coronavirus.

Well, it seems to have happened again. A small vial of a potentially deadly strain known as the Guanarito virus has went missing from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. It is not known how long the vial has been unaccounted for so it is anyone's guess as to where it is and what has been done with it.
The virus was discovered missing when an unidentified "official" noticed that one out of five vials was missing, even though they are "locked" in a bio-hazard freezer. As soon as it was noticed the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) was notified of the risk. It has been a week since it has been reported and we have heard very little about this potential hazard, in fact it was hardly reported at all despite the curious circumstances behind the incident. Why would a vial of a potentially dangerous virus be missing from a U.S laboratory and who would want something so hazardous in their possession? The Guanarito virus is part of a family of diseases that were discovered to have caused several deadly outbreaks in Venezuela and the government has made it a priority to study it, hence why the virus was apparently locked inside of a Texas University bio-hazard freezer in the first place. The reason the government has prioritized this virus to be studied is because "it can potentially be used by terrorists in a contagion attack". Therfore, reports of this virus being "potentially" dangerous is likely because if the individual or organization that possesses the vial has ill intentions it can be used to cause an outbreak on a targeted population. It would not be hard for an insider of any given enemy government to enroll in a class at a University to have access and obtain deadly viruses to use on the American population. If this were to happen, it is unknown how severe the consequences could be which is why these "deadly" strains should be studied in more secure locations, and not on University campuses. This would significantly decrease the risk of something like this happening. In fact, "deadly" viruses should never be at a school in the first place, as it should be high level graduates that have access to these materials as opposed to people who are not even in the field yet. This is just one example of how to avoid risks like this from occurring in the future. UTMB director Scott Weaver said that "Guanarito has been responsible for causing deadly diseases within the South American country (Venezuela)". The symptoms of the missing virus (aside from death, as it has been classed as "deadly"), is a severe hemorrhagic fever which could lead to death. Essentially, your brain starts to bleed which can lead to death if not treated and since it is still being studied as a priority it is unknown if there is a cure for this virus. If you have ever watched the movie "Outbreak", it has a similar plot to this real life event as a virus is released on the public that causes the exact symptom, "hemorrhagic fever". It was also showing on television around the time the vial was reported to be missing. Coincidence? The UTMB said that there was no security breach or break-in at the Texas facility, nor did they "believe" there was evidence of foul play and that the vial "could have" simply been broken during the labs cleaning process, all answers indicating they are clearly unsure of what exactly happened. It is not clear if we will ever find out the answers as to where it could have ended up however the government wanted it studied due to it's potential for being used by terrorists and this is a huge red flag for anyone who has followed the course of history even the slightest. Lyme disease was also released from a U.S laboratory (Plum Island) and was developed by a Nazi scientist who escaped persecution in a CIA plot called Project Paperclip, and was rewarded a new life in America to work on bio-hazard studies. He is now known for introducing Lyme disease on the population of the world as it escaped the laboratory in a similar unknown breach as the recent incident in Texas. Worth noting is that in December of 2012, an unknown epidemic hazard was announced in Northern Ontario in a report by the Family Survival Protocol. This report stated: "A woman was found dead on a Via Rail passenger train early Saturday morning. The company says the Vancouver-to-Toronto train stopped near Parry Sound, Ont., because four passengers were showing flu-like symptoms. Emergency crews boarded the train and confirmed that a woman who Via Rail described in a news release as elderly had died. The other three passengers were taken to hospital for treatment, according to the news release. The train was about six hours late getting to Toronto, according to the release. The train had left Vancouver on Christmas Day night. Via said a quarantine was placed on the two rooms the passengers were in, which is part of their standard procedures. It’s not believed anyone else was in those compartments, which will be sterilized. Health officials say it’s not believed that other passengers or the train’s crew were exposed to those taken off the train, which had 200 passengers and 13 crew members on board. The local coroner was trying to determine the cause of death and the Ontario Provincial Police say the woman’s identity was being withheld until all family members were notified." Similarly, in more recent reports (March 2013) it was claimed that a deadly new "Coronavirus" has been spreading throughout the Asia and Europe and has claimed lives in the Middle East, China, and has since worked its way North claiming lives in the UK as well. This virus is similar to, yet more deadly than SARS and originated from the Middle East. "The SARS coronavirus infected very few animal cell lines. It was finally traced to bats and civets. But we may have a very hard time, as this new virus seems to be much more promiscuous,", stated Yuen Kwok-yung, a microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong. "The SARS coronavirus infects very few human cell lines. But this new virus can infect many types of human cell lines, and kill cells rapidly...If the new virus mutates further, it could cause a deadly pandemic" he warned. One question remains...Why do laboratories "create" deadly viruses again? It just does not make any sense to me whatsoever |

Medical mystery: Unknown disease takes the lives of two area teens and leaves third in critical condition
By Tyler Rudick

12:56 pm
n unidentified illness has taken the lives of two area high school students, with a third teenager in critical condition. According to KHOU Channel 11, health officials report that all three have shared similar symptoms that appear to begin with pneumonia-like ailments before quickly devolving into seizures and respiratory failure. The medical mystery started in February when Liberty County resident Tyler Lane Budro developed a fever that was followed by violent seizures just days later. The 17-year-old junior at Hull-Daisetta High School died on March 10. Within the next month, two other unnamed Montgomery County students were treated with near-identical issues. One of victims, a teenaged girl, died on April 29, while the other remains in serious condition at a Houston hospital. Dr. Syed Ibrahim, an epidemiologist with the Montgomery County Public Heath Department, says upwards of 30 tests have been conducted on the students, including those for meningitis and rabies. All results have come back negative. "I'm really concerned. I'm sad as well because these are the cases of the teenagers in our county," Ibrahim said. "I've been working in this country for almost 10 years . . . It's very rare not to come up with any diagnosis." KHOU reports that the disease or diseases do not appear to be contagious. Autopsies are being performed, but results could take several months.

two teens die, one critical and still no answersOn February 19, 2013 Tyler Budro (Craigan) of Daisetta in nearby Liberty County picked her son Tyler from school after the nurse called advising Tyler had a fever and thinking it could have been Mono. The next day the fever continued to rise and Tyler’s family took him to the doctor at which point he tested positive for Mono.
On Thursday, February 21st they took him to another clinic as he hadn’t improved. ‘ On Friday February 22, Tyler’s father came home in the afternoon to find him on the floor in seizures. He immediately put him in his vehicle and started for Baptist Hospital in Beaumont again. Halfway there he was met by an ambulance as the seizures hadn’t stopped. That was the last time Tyler was conscious. Once there he was admitted and then sent to Hermann Hospital in Houston. Doctors were baffled by his condition \mono is not known to attack the brain as in Tyler’s case. . He once again tested positive for Mono but the symptoms were not that of Mono as . The seizures did slow after heavy medication. The swelling of the brain did not slow. Doctors had to remove more of the skull than they would a trauma patient to ease the pressure of the swelling brain. Tyler was a football player and sportsman. In November on a hunting trip he shot a pig and then found a small one and brought it home, making a pen for it. Doctors even looked at that as a source but still nothing. Cat Scratch Fever and negative results. Tyler passed away March 10th on the sixteenth day. Every day since then Tyler’s mother Janie has called the Harris County Medical Examiners Office for autopsy results and is told some of the tests could take months and nothing is back yet. She said she needed closure to know what caused her sons death.
On
April 11th, a beautiful healthy 17 year old girl came down with
symptoms of the flu. She had fever, body aches, malaise and it stood to
reason that Katie had the flu as there was a known diagnosis of the flu
in the immediate family just a few days earlier. She seemed to be
improving by the 2nd day and was out and about being a normal teenage
girl but that 3rd day she woke up again with the same symptoms. She took
her daughter to the doctor where she was diagnosed with the flu/strep
and was told she was a bit dehydrated and might want to consider going
to the ER for IV fluids if she didn’t feel Katie would be able to keep
herself hydrated enough while fighting strep/flu. Her mom took one look
at her and said might is not an option. Every mother knows when their
child isn’t their usual self and she took her straight to the ER. What
happened in the next few hours is every parents worse nightmare. Tyler’s mother had Tyler’s doctors send his medical file to Katie’s doctors in an effort to possibly find something. They didn’t. Katie died April 29, sixteen days after her first doctor visit.
A little over a month ago B.J Crawford, a New Caney High School student began feeling sick. For almost a week it persisted, vomiting and diarrhea and fever. He finally told his father about it and was taken to the doctor. Then on the same day Katie got sick B.J. Crawford was taken from class by MCHD after his fever spiked and his blood pressure dropped. He was transported to Kingwood Hospital and within hours was transferred to Texas Children’s. His symptom’s closely resemble the other cases except for the fact he has not had any seizures. He was friends with Katie Rios. He has not been placed into a medically induced coma but doctors are wanting to biopsy his lungs. However he is to medically fragile for this procedure. They do know there is a major infection in his lungs. He is very week and on dialysis. Yesterday his mother Kim Cutler tried to communicate with him but as much as he tried he was unable to speak. Only mumbling which then affected his breathing. He pointed to his cell phone and after his mother handed it to him he attempted to text her a message but his fingers were too weak. He then took a picture pad and pointed to a heart as a tear rolled out of his eye. When Kim asked if he was trying to tell her he loved her, he nodded yes. Today his lungs have totally given out and he is now on life support. Several different types of doctors from all over are meeting to discuss the possibility of doing a bone marrow test…the risk with the low platelets vs. the benefits of maybe an answer. They are looking for HLH a blood disease type of leukemia and starting him on chemo…but due to weakness that has been ruled out. His blood count is currently at 34 which on a normal person is 250. http://main.montgomerycountypolicereporter.com/?p=66546&cpage=1 |

that's what I was thinking when I saw it. We've had alot of ppl around here who have gotten a really really bad flu that hangs on and puts alot of them in the hospital and all of them have said that they have never had anything like it before and hope they never get anything like it ever again. Alot of the same symptoms as this middle east virus except it didn't kill them or shut down organs.
And now, here we have some teens in Texas dying from a flu that seems to have the same exact symptoms of the ME virus. Starting to make me think it's already here but not yet widespread. |

I wouldn't panic just yet. Without an intermediate patient that connects the dots between the outbreak in Saudi (or any of the satellite cases in the UK, France or Germany) and Texas we have no idea what caused the deaths, and if you look at the timeline of the onset of symptoms, they seems to predate many of the Saudi infections.

Well this is very scary. It is fare from being sue that it is the coronavirus from middle east; if they have carried all tests they must have bveen sampled for coronavirus as well. Would it be something else. Not good anyways.
Young healthy beautiful people going under these conditions is worrying and scary..

Mystery illness claims the life of 2 area teens, a third is critical
Posted on May 9, 2013 at 10:36 AM

yesterday at 4:41 PM
HOUSTON -- A hospital spokeswoman at Texas Children's in Houston said in a written statement that a 17-year-old boy in their facility is not believed, by them, to be connected two cases in which area teens died from a mystery illness. But the lead doctor in charge of Montgomery County's Health Department said all of the teens have similar symptoms. "Like fever, cough, like respiratory failure, pneumonia, seizures," said Dr. Syed Ibrahim, MD, MPH. "In the child who's admitted at Texas Children's Hospital now, he's having liver enlargment and spleen enlargment." The hospital confirmed that the teen is in critical condition. Two teenagers, one from Montgomery County and one from Liberty County, have died from an illness health experts have not been able to diagnose. Tyler Lane Budro, 17, was the first case. He got sick in February and died on March 10. Tyler lived in Liberty County and was a junior at Hull-Daisetta High School. His mother said he first had a fever, and then violent seizures started days later. The teenage girl who passed away died on April 29. Dr. Ibrahim is Montgomery County's top epidemiologist. He said doctors ran 30 tests on the teens, including checks for rabies and meningitis. All tests came back with negative results, so health experts still have no idea what any of the teens came down with. Dr. Ibrahim and other area health experts are still looking for answers. "I'm really concerned. I'm sad as well because these are the cases of the teenagers in our county," said Dr. Ibrahim, MD, MPH. Parents and students at New Caney High School, where the teen who is in the hospital attends, are worried too. "I think they should have informed us about it more 'cuz it's not right that some kids don't know about it and other kids are spreading (rumors) making it worse," said student Courtney Villareal.

"I need a reason," said Janie Budro, "but right now I don't have a reason for him not to be here." http://www.khou.com/news/health/Mystery-Illness-Claims-Two-Teens-Third-is-Critical-206702811.html |

Time to report on all things medically unusual, to try to catch that first inkling of something very amiss. Today, I have a friend in MN who is burying her 80 year old mother whose throat swelled so bad she had to be thracted, Dr.s saying they have never seen that in a adult. Also ran high fevers and virus went systemic no anti biotics or anti virals touched it, when it went systemic she went unconcious. So far no other family members or medical personel are ill.

Mercury vapors can cause a type of pneumonia. The alveoli are destroyed. Happens when people melt down dental fillings. Wonder if they smoked anything.

BENEFIT PAGE SET UP FOR B.J. CRAWFORDB.J. had been ill for 2 weeks at home, but he insisted on taking his junior level TAKS test at school. He was then taken by ambulance to Texas Children’s Hospital, where the doctors are still trying to agree on a diagnosis, as he lay in critical condition. Kim, his mom, lives in Utah, and struggled with the cost of getting to B.J., but nothing could keep her away from her son. No mother would ever be prepared to see her son in the condition he was in. Machines, tubes, screws in bones, inability to breathe, too weak to hold a cell phone, unable to talk for lack of air, and skeletal. All this, and no known reason. He was a normal perfectly healthy teenage boy before this. She is now not only struggling with the helplessness of not being able to help B.J., but also the expenses of parking, motel, gas, etc… just to be by his side.If you would like to help, the first thing requested from you is PRAYER!!! Please continue to pray for B.J. all day, that the doctors can solve the mystery of the infections in his lungs. His lungs have completely shut down, and his other organs are doing the same. He is on life support and dialysis. He is too medically fragile, now, for the tests to be done on him. If you would like to donate money to help B.J.’s family, just click
on the PayPal link. If you are associated with New Caney High School,
you may give donations to Connie Gregory, principal’s secretary. FROM B.J. MOM They are putting another tube next to his jugular in his coratid artery because he is just not getting enough oxygen…this is a major surgery with lots of risk which can cause blood clots, bleeding etc. This is so not what I wanted/needed to hear I am headed up there as soon as I can get it together if I can even get to the shower…so, off again for now…will update again later…scared to death mommy Kim, his mother who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah flew down to be with her son. She has been staying at a motel during the stay. She also has to drive back and forth and has the expense of parking. Please help all you can and pray for B.J.

The missing Virus Vial is from the same College where the professor that wants to end 90 percent of population
Doctor Doom, Eric Pianka, Receives Standing Ovation from Texas Academy of ScienceJonathan Witt April 3, 2006 3:15 PM | PermalinkThe following is excerpted from "Meeting Doctor Doom" by Forrest Mims, Chairman of the Environmental Science Section of the Texas Academy of Science: ... I watched in amazement as a few hundred members of the Texas Academy of Science rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation to a speech that enthusiastically advocated the elimination of 90 percent of Earth's population by airborne Ebola. The speech was given by Dr. Eric R. Pianka (Fig. 1), the University of Texas evolutionary ecologist and lizard expert who the Academy named the 2006 Distinguished Texas Scientist. Because of many years of experience as a writer and editor, Pianka's strange introduction and the TV camera incident raised a red flag in my mind. Suddenly I forgot that I was a member of the Texas Academy of Science and chairman of its Environmental Science Section. Instead, I grabbed a notepad so I could take on the role of science reporter. |

i tend to agree that a virus which takes about 70% of the world population , is the best way of
saving the the planet from our selfish way's the carbon in the atmosphere is at 400ppb the highest in 3 million years, people refuse to rein in there carbon output and to be honest it is impossible to get back to 50% of 1997 as per Kyoto when we 70% above that level, the glacier's are retreating at a rate never before seen millions are at risk of drought and starvation , a bird flu is the fairest and best way of thinning the population, it took over 100 years for the population to increase from 2 billion to 3 billion now the increase is about a billion every 7 years , and we now at 7 billion + what is the answer to this over population ??? |

Scientists call for action to tackle CO2 levels
The last time CO2 was regularly above 400ppm was three to five million years ago
Continue reading the main story
Related StoriesScientists are calling on world leaders to take action on climate change after carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere broke through a symbolic threshold. Daily CO2 readings at a US government agency lab on Hawaii have topped 400 parts per million for the first time. Sir Brian Hoskins, the head of climate change at the UK-based Royal Society, said the figure should "jolt governments into action". China and the US have made a commitment to co-operate on clean technology. But BBC environment analyst Roger Harrabin said the EU was backing off the issue, and cheap fossil fuels looked attractive to industries. The laboratory, which sits on the Mauna Loa volcano, feeds its numbers into a continuous record of the concentration of the by gas stretching back to 1958. 'Sense of urgency'Carbon dioxide is regarded as the most important of the manmade greenhouse gases blamed for raising the temperature on the planet over recent decades. Human sources come principally from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. Ministers in the UK have claimed global leadership in reducing CO2 emissions and urged other nations to follow suit.
Sir Brian Hoskins said a greater sense of urgency was needed
But the official Climate Change Committee (CCC) last month said that Britain's total contribution towards heating the climate had increased, because the UK is importing goods that produce CO2 in other countries. The last time CO2 was regularly above 400ppm was three to five million years ago - before modern humans existed. Scientists say the climate back then was also considerably warmer than it is today. Professor Sir Brian Hoskins, director of the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London, said a greater sense of urgency about tackling climate change was needed. "Before we started influencing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, over the last million years it went between about 180 and 280 parts per million," he said. "Now, since the Industrial Revolution and more in the last 50 years, we've taken that level up by more than 40% to a level of 400 and that hasn't been seen on this planet for probably four million years. "But around the world, there are things happening, it's not all doom and gloom," he added. "China is doing a lot. Its latest five year plan makes really great strides." China's plan for 2011-2015 includes reversing the damage done by 30 years of growth and increasing the use of renewable energy. |

They should test for coronavirus. I believe that seizures are a symptom, along with feeling better after a couple of days and then their health digressing quickly.

sounds a little similar to the Va death in april

Maybe we should get rymich14 on this one.
Although these young folk have certainly been tested for influenza and every other common disease. |

I did check into this yesterday in fact. They have tested for nCov and H7N9 etc and were negative. There is no exotic disease here but they wont say exactly what it is out of privacy, all they say its that is it something common in the area. |

Good job. It's also good to see they're checking for h7, which is news in itself.
Something common in the area sounds a little strange. Not sure the source was accurate on that one. Two of the teens knew each other, so that part doesn't make 100% sense. Hope the sources are being accurate, but good work. |

I emailed that writer from Roanoke and he said no word yet on that death but that he would get back to me in about a week or so. I told him it seemed related to the teens in Texas so perhaps he will look into that too. So strange this whole thing!

The doctors should check for high toxic chemical levels. Exposure to certain toxic materials could mimic a virus. Its no secrect that the government is spraying leathal doses of chemical agents on us. Please dont rule chemical exposure out.

Has anyone put together that the Guanarito virus viles that were "lost" at the University lab is in the county that is directly connected (Galveston County) to both Liberty and Montgomery counties (where the teenagers were). They are literally catty corner (msp). I looked up the symptoms of the Guanarito virus and compared it to the symptoms that are listed for these teenagers and they are identical. Isn't it possible that someone they were exposed to this virus from the missing vial. I am not a conspiracy theory person, but look up the county locations and you will see they are all right next to each other, and as I said the symptoms are identical...Do you think the doctors have checked for this and put any of that together and checked for that virus???

Hi everyone! This is my first post but I have been following potential human pandemic virus risks ever since I found myself in the middle of the 2001 Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Epidemic in the UK I lived on a sheep farm in an infected area and worked for the Ministry in those dark months and saw how this 'most infectious virus known to human or animal medicine' could spread - almost impossible to comprehend! Back then we were appalled at the prospect of a deadly virus that affected people.
See my FB pages 'Pandemic Twenty-Thirteen'. I picked up the few local reports and have been surprised that the CDC have not been involved and that Promed haven't picked up on itj. The current theory that it is a rare genetic syndrome called HLH would seem unlikely as they were older teens and Occam's Razor would baulk at two cases appearing coterminously! It is more likely given the fever and cytokine storm response described to be a new virus - the third Texas case seems different however from the Montgomery cases. Saudi SARS was first recorded in April 2012 in Saudi Arabia and on Sept 24 a brave Egyptian virologist working in Riyadh posted his findings on Promed and let the world know before the annual pilgrimage to Mecca began in late October - 2 million pilgrims converging for the largest human gathering on the planet and then dispersing back to every country in the world! The Saudis promptly deported him and the monitoring team sent out to Mecca led by Dr Ian Lipkin of Columbia University never reported their findings online the only reports of anything unusual - as thousands of elderly pilgrims die every year and are buried within 24 hours according to custom - was in the Egypt Independent where 24 young male pilgrims suddenly developed severe respiratory illness and died and complaints were made that the Saudi authorities would not assist! It was still early days for this new virus to be able to infect easily - and like vH7N9 in its present form it seems (thankfully) to be limited in that the receptor cells are found deep inside the lungs so someone has to inhale deeply for them to be able to infect. Now Saudi and Chinese men have something in common - they are typically heavy smokers but no data is available on this curiously because it is very easy and cheap to obtain! The other groups who would inhale deeply are of course athletes involved in exertion and relatives crying over loved ones - the sex bias in Saudi SARS is so marked (despite the small sample size) that the Saudi reluctance to divulge basic data on fatalities- age and sex may not be surprising. |

Hi - this is a reply to Carbon 20 at the top of this thread!
Although there are no certainties in the occult world of viruses past experience would suggest that even a pandemic virus possessed of the three necessary characteristic - totally new/highly contagious/causing serious illness - like the American Influenza of 1918 - only killed an estimated 2% of the then world population and possibly 15-20% of those who fell ill. The Black Death or the Great Plague was a bacterial disease and lasted longer (viruses have a habit of flaring up and then disappearing as suddenly as they came all within 12 months). It is a balance between infectivity and how long the infected person is able to remain active taking to their bed - hence Ebola kills too fast to be pandemic danger in its present form. So it is unlikely to be neat but one thing is certain - we humans will experience helplessness and horror whilst all around the birds keep singing and the wildlife carries on unaffected - it will actually be rather humiliating for many! Actually the most immediate consequence will be an explosion of the rat population and cats will come into their own!

Montgomery teTo clear things up, Kelsey was my sister. Kelsey went to her doctor Tuesday after feeling under the weather over the weekend. It is my understanding that she told the doctor that it was very painful when she swallowed and it felt like knives in her throat like a case of strep would feel. The doctor swabbed her nose for the flu test and it came back positive for the flu. She was given Tamiflu and sent home for bed rest. Thursday evening she stated she didn't feel right and she couldn't feel her lungs and was having trouble breathing. She was brought to the emergency room and shortly after being admitted she intubated and passed away later that night.
Blood work came back a few days ago and said Kelsey had Influenza B, Staph Pneumonia and Sepsis (blood poisioning.) The Flu is not what killed my sister it was actually the secondary bacterial infection that is common with the flu and can be treated in most cases if the proper precautions are taken. In Kelsey's case she was not given a strong course of anti-biotics like vancomycin to help boost her immune system to fight off the secondary bacterial infection that began as the sore throat that spread and eventually turned into staph pneumonia and sepsis that took her life. I still for the life of me can't understand why a doctor would let someone walk out of their office in a situation like Kelsey's without prescribing a strong course of antibiotics even more so when it is evident that they have an infection and throat issues as she explained to her doctor. Now there is no need for rumors. |

I found two more Sudden flu deaths
DALLAS -- The Dallas County Health Department confirmed Thursday that the recent deaths of a six-year-old girl and boy are both flu related. The Medical Examiner determined the cause of the deaths Thursday. Tahila Johnson died on Tuesdaysuffering from flu-related symptoms. Adam Lucero died on Nov. 30, just a day after being diagnosed with influenza, his mother said. Johnson, 6, was taken to the emergency room at Dallas Regional Medical Center in Mesquite on Monday night. Tahila's father, Earl Johnson, said his daughter was complaining of aches, pains and a sore throat. Johnson said his daughter was sent home with a prescription for Tylenol and Zyrtec. He said he was told his daughter had the flu, although she was never specifically tested for it. Tahila was found dead on her bed the next morning at 6:45 a.m. Johnson expressed concern that hospital officials did not do enough to help his six-year-old. Dallas Regional Hospital officials have said they cannot answer questions related to the case but they maintain all procedures were properly followed. On Nov. 29, Maria Garcia took her six-year-old boy, Adam Lucero, to Children's Medical Center. He was in pain; flu-like symptoms had grown into excruciating leg pain so severe that Garcia thought something was attacking her son's muscle tissue. The hospital diagnosed the boy with Type B influenza. He was sent home with a prescription of Tamiflu. The boy died in the pediatrician's waiting room the next day. Children's has not commented on the incident. In the wake of the Medical Examiner's ruling, Dallas County Health and Human Services Director Zachary Thompson is urging parents to get their children immunized against the flu. The Centers for Disease Control says the flu vaccine is the most effective way to prevent it. The Dallas County |

B.J. CRAWFORD PASSES
New Caney High School student B.J. Crawford who fell ill several months ago passed away early this afternoon. About the same time other students were getting sick and being admitted to area hospitals, B.J. was admitted to the hospital. At first it was thought to be related to the other illnesses but it was quickly determined it was not and he suffered from T-Cell Lymphoma Cancer. B.J. who had wanted to be a Marine Biologist fought hard for the past several months. |

sad news. Sorry to hear. RIP
There is a lot of talk of "mystery illness" here. I just wanted to say something about my personal experience. My Daughter during Christmas two years ago came down with a virus. She ended up in intensive care, drips, oxygen etc and almost died. The doctors were baffled. She eventually got better and is now fine. The point i want to make is, we pushed the doctors to run every test possible. This went on for days and the top doctors in the country were asked to help. In the end they gave up as she improved. They couldn't find anything wrong with her and said it was just some tropical illness. I spoke to the head of infectious diseases and she said they often have these odd ball cases which come and go. In many circumstances they cant figure out what is going on. Her comment to me was that the human body is a massively complex. We are at the limit of human knowledge which stops us from knowing everything. She went on to say the human body knows more about itself than we do. Its an interesting observation.
