I didn't know where (or even if) to post this. My daughter (age 27) and her SO were traveling to Peru to see the Mayan ruins. On the flight between Orlando (they are from Fairbanks AK) and Panama (layover) my daughter became very ill on the flight.
Her bf rushed her to the hospital in Panama, and she is in ICU diagnosed with Reye's syndrome. This is the deadly disease usually associated with children who take aspirin during/ after a cold flu. My daughter had a cold while she was traveling.
I am in contact with her bf, and even got a call through (tenaciousness here) to the Panamanian hospital and spoke with my daughter. She sounded good, but she is most definitely not out of the woods yet.
I'm just reaching out for your good thoughts. Thank you.
Oh my gosh. I am soooo sorry. I hope she is in a good hospital and if not, maybe she can get to Miami! We are all sending you, your daughter and family good thoughts. How far do you live from panama? Can you go see her?
Thank you all. It's been stressful, but I'm in communication via FB chat with her boyfriend who has been dealing with all this. I did get to talk to her a couple times on the phone, but now hosp. staff says she cannot receive calls. I cannot financially travel there. Today she's getting a spinal tap, as her arms and legs are still weak due to spinal cord swelling. The earliest she can leave there is Thursday. Hoping for the best.
