On tueday my cousin wasn't feeling so well. So she called in sick to work and just slept all day. The next day she decided to try and go to work. Barely into her shift, her head started POUNDING. She said it was the worst pain ever. Everytime she tried to talk, she threw up. That's how bad her head hurt. So her work called an ambulance and she went to the hospital.
She has now been there since wednesday. They say she has a bad case of West Nile. She still hasn't really spoke, because she still throws up when she tries to talk. They basically have kept her drugged up on pain meds so that she can relax. So she has been sleeping most of the time.
They say she will most likely be in the hospital for about a month.
It's just crazy, she is a 27 yr old healthy woman. Never really had any medical issues. Yet this still hit her sooo hard.
The point of this story is to make sure you all take West Nile seriously. It's no joke. Like I said she is a healthy 27 yr old. Not an immune system compramised 80 yr old.
Be careful, avoid mosquitos. Don't risk it.
Also prayers for my cousin would be appreciated.
