Get Well Kellie

The chief called at 2200hrs and told me to report to Roger Williams medical Center. Kellie has Bacterial menningitis and I was exposed. I had hoped she didn’t have a bleed in her brain but I never expected this. Viral menningitis is bad, but not deadly. Bacterial menningitis kills. It seems every year I read in the paper some poor kid who came to college and caught this bacteria somehow and died. Kellie’s family is with her in the Itensive Care Unit. She is intubated and fighting the infection, but is in critical condition. I’ll find out tommorow if she lives or dies. As for me, I’ve taken a big dose of Cipro and should be allright. The medicine makes me sick, but not as bad as Kellie. I’m staying on duty until the morning.
