Disease: STEC (non 0157:h7, Shiga 1+2), Shigella, Campylobacter

Days hospitalized: 5

On July 7th we were sent to the hospital, on July 9th we were called back for admission, Jeremiah tested positive for STEC, Shigella, and Campylobacter that he contracted from Shoal Creek in Lawrenceburg, TN. We were discharged on July 13th. During our stay Morgan Stine (Parker’s Promise) was our saving grace, she was up with me all hours of the night, my mommy heart couldn’t take anymore she gave me the much needed hug any parent would need in this situation, and most of all her and other parents donated, clothes, food, and toys to get us by. We are forever grateful for Parker’s Promise.
