Parents Rush to Hospital as 6yrs son Takes His Last Breath, but were stunned to discover this
Have you ever pondered how your child is so lovely when you are looking at them? Some kids simply have wisdom beyond their years.
One of those kids was Leland Shoemake. Sadly, on September 25, 2015, he passed away. Balamuthia mandrillaris, an ameba, is to blame for his meningitis. Leland’s mother, Amber, thinks he contracted the fatal virus while playing outside.
When Leland passed away, his parents went back to their house and discovered the note he had written to them. The note was discovered by Tim, Leland’s father, in the living room. He started crying after reading the note. Please read the following text; you will cry as well.
Leland was known for writing his parents short letters, but this one was obviously extremely different.
After reading their son’s note, Amber and Tim grieved while holding onto one another. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), balamuthia infection is a rare and frequently lethal illness. Balamuthia amebas are soil-dwelling organisms. Your risk of infection increases if you play in the dirt, work in the garden, or even merely breathe the soil where the amebas live.
These amebas can infect everyone; nobody is immune. Any open wound can serve as a bodily entrance. An infection may cause symptoms like nausea, vomiting, headaches, and trouble speaking and walking. Multiple medications are used as part of the treatment. The right diagnosis is made, in accordance with the CDC, soon before the patient passes away.
This makes it challenging for doctors to identify the ideal medicine combination to effectively treat it.
To raise awareness of this dangerous ameba, the Leland Shoemake Foundation was founded. Please let people know.
