My brother in law died from this 3 years ago on sept 6th...
Crazy thing is, on August 24th, he went to the doctor cause he didn't feel good all week ( he is normally REALLY healthy, NEVER took a sick day)
The doctor told him it was probably just the flu and go home.
The next day he was so sick my sister took him to the ER... they sent him home saying he had the flu really bad and just keep hydrated,
That night he collapsed on the bathroom floor.
Rushed to another hospital, and they FINALLY ran tests... and got the grim diagnosis.
It is an AWFUL disease and kills SO quickly it is scary!
It can be misdiagnosed or go unnoticed until just before the very end.
I am SOOOO sorry for you Maria, for your loss. ((((HUGS))))
