Title: 7 yo possible anaphylaxis death
Post by: Jessica on November 05, 2014, 02:45:53 AM
This is all over the FB groups. Here is his mom's last facebook post (not sure if non FB people can see it-probably not).

This is the little boy in our prayer thread. My heart aches for his family and friends. :'(

What strength his mother is showing.  I am crying.  What a tragic loss.

This reminded me of this article.

DS had a reaction that presented as persistent asthma, too. It's really scary to think we might not reconcile it, but the family  who lost their little boy did recognize that it could be anaphylaxis.

This is the boy I posted about in the prayer thread.  He was the good friend of a HS acquaintances son.  It's just awful.  She told me the Epi jammed :(. I've been weepy for the past few days and praying for the family.

I shared the link (to the original post, not our thread here) on our FB page. I wasn't going to, but as it 'so been shared 128 times, I  think it's OK.
