Sheila was just 26 when she contracted meningococcemia. She was in coma for 8 days but survived. She regained her strength but her limbs remained black and lifeless. Barely a month later, she had to make the most difficult decision in her life - face amputation of her limbs or die from the infection. This is her story.

Fight for Sheldon
I recently heard from Samantha Keller of London, Ontario. Her friends' 5-month old baby, Sheldon, has meningitis and is fighting for his life. Sheila, her mother, Piedad (my sister), and I have been in touch with her. Let's keep our fingers crossed for Sheldon. For those who want to keep track of his progress, Fight for Sheldon is on Facebook.

We were informed that little Sheldon passed away last night. Our thoughts and prayers are with his parents and loved ones.
