I met Trey Olds on Facebook several months ago. He emailed me about being a guest on Meningitis News so that he could share his story with the world and hopefully inspire other people experiencing the same challenges like he does on the day to day basis. Trey was born premature and at 3 months he fell ill with bacterial meningitis. His case was so bad that the doctors wouldn’t let his mother leave the hospital room to call her husband who worked out in the oil fields. Trey survived. Thanks so much for listening!

Welcome back to Meningitis News! Today I’m sitting down with Momona Samuel who I first met back in 2005. Momona suffered from meningitis as an infant. Her parents were told she made a full recovery with no signs of prolonged after effects. However growing up, Momona experienced auras which she didn’t attribute to a particular illness until she began having seizures. Momona had epilepsy. It then took several years for her to connect her infantile meningitis to her adult epilepsy. Thanks so much for listening!

Today we have an episode from our original series of Meningitis News. On April 16, 2011, Janice Gaskin’s 2-month-old son woke up in the middle of the night very ill. He was running a fever of 102, vomiting, bulging soft spot, and was very lethargic. After a doctor’s visit and a misdiagnosis from urgent care, a visit to Munroe Regional, and finally ending up at Shands ICU, Janice learned that Trent was suffering from a deadly form of Bacterial Meningitis called “Streptococcus Meningitis”. After a CAT scan and MRI, doctors informed us that Trent suffered a stroke from excess spinal fluid in the area of his brain. Trent was also suffering from seizures. Doctors drilled a burr hole to drain the excess spinal fluid in order to relieve the seizures. Trent also needed two blood transfusions. Janice wasn’t sure if Trent was going to survive but after four weeks in Shand’s, with the help of staff and proper care, Trent was eventually able to go home. On today’s episode, Janice shares with us some long-term effects Trent will have to live with after Streptococcus Meningitis. Support our show by visiting us on Patreon.
