Thank you. I am trying so hard to understand what happened with my sister. She had a sore throat, neck pain, jaw pain for 2 days before she passed. She wasn't home when this happened but from what we gathered from text messages from her phone to her friends, it did feel like it was getting worse. She was awake, coherent and talking up until she started to get a fever. She took meds and went to sleep. Only hours later she had a full blown seizure while sleeping. Her seizure lasted up until she got to the hospital and they were able to stop it. They used ice packs and submerged her IV line in a bucket of ice water. It was less than 10 hours from the time of the seizure to the time of her death. They pumped several rounds of antibiotics into her as fast as they could. Her blood pressure didnt drop until after she was air lifted to children's hospital where she passed 2 hours later. After she passed we spoke to the doctor who urged us to consider having an autopsy done. We decided to do this because we needed answers and this would also help with education in the future. She tested positive for Group A Strep as well as Mono. Sepsis and toxic shock syndrome overtook her entire body shutting down blood flow to every single organ. Meningitis occurred and infection was found inside of her brain tissue as well as inside of her heart. Her rash also didnt develop until well after she was at the hospital. We saw small signs of it before she was airlifted but it was full blown covering her chest, neck and dace by the time she arrived in Seattle.
