Update: Meningitis Scare Over. Little B Is Home.
Suzie’s account of what her family has been through is terrible and heartbreaking:
“When I took him to the hospital he was non-responsive he screamed in pain when touched and I grabbed him and ran through the streets covered in a blanket with no shoes and tried to grab a cab. He couldn’t turn his head the light from the TV hurt and he couldn’t open his eyes. His breathing became labored the driver shouted at me to run with him which I did.”
I was shocked and enraged to read that Suzie’s boss demanded that she keep working through this. We should all think long and hard about what it means to be an employee in America:
”Then the phone started ringing it was work. They were in a panic I was yelled at by my boss and treated so badly I still cannot wrap my head around the insensitivity. Sitting by my sons bedside I had to do a telephone conference.”
But little B is home now.
