Lilly has been diagnosed.

Crystalina wrote: Today was the Memorial service for Olivia. My sister has just called me to tell me that Olivia has been admitted to Children's Hospital. She has been diagnosed with
hemolytic uremic syndrome. That is what causes the kidney failure. Last night she was fine and last I checked she was coloring on my moms lap. I just wonder if there is something in there genetic makeup that is causing them to get this sick. My other sister has a newborn who has not caught it and he has been around them also. My sister is very upset and left a nasty message on my machine that I should be up there. If I had no kids I would! I'm getting so tired of saying the same thing to them. They are being so hateful about it. One child has died and the other is now in the same boat and all my sister (not their mother but my other one) can do is call and say how much I DON'T care about what happens to them. She should be worried about what's going on at the hospital and not so worried about leaving nasty messages on my machine. Like I've said before...her kids have already been exposed so it's easy for her to sit back and point fingers. She doesn't have to worry about it, they already have it.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Crystal I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure your sister is overwhelmed with grief (as you all are) and doesn't really know or understand what she is saying. I'm sure she normally would never mean to hurt you. I don't know how your other sister is coping, having lost one daughter and the other one being in the hospital, but she is in my prayers.

mom2my2cuties replied: Your poor family. I will keep all of you in my prayers.

Just make sure you take care of yourself and your little ones. When people are grieving they tend to say things they wouldn't normally. (Kind of like you do when you are angry) And I can see how your family could feel that you don't care because you aren't there. Even though that isn't the case. I have even felt that way by my own family when they wouldn't come see Andrea in the hospital when she was having surgery a few months ago. Although it was just they couldn't make the 2 hour trip.

Make sure they do know this can be spread by drinking after each other, touching, etc and that since your children haven't been exposed yet, that putting them (and yourself) in that enviornment is a risk you and your family aren't willing to take. And a risk they shouldn't expect you to take.

I didn't realize before today (after talking to the doctor at Children's) just how spreadable and dangerous E-Coli is and how widespread this latest outbreak of it has been.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Crystal, I am so sorry for all of this. From Olivia losing her battle, to Lilly now being officially diagnosed. To the disturbing recordings you are having to be subject to.

You are in my prayers, and will be. Thanks for keeping us posted.

MommyToAshley replied: I'm so sorry and feel awful for what your family is going through. But, I think you are doing the right thing... you have to protect your kids. I am sure when things settle down, they will realize this as well.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I'm so sorry you are going through this right now. My prayers are with you and your family!

I'm so sorry for everyone involved.

I agree that it is hard to watch a child suffer through sickness and i am sure that she doesn't know what she is thinking at the moment. I hope things improve
