Families Fighting Flu

My daughter, Christina Bailey, age 27 was living away from home when she contracted the H1N1. Her father and step-mother did not understand the signs and thought she just had a cold. One night she passed out on the couch and her sister and seven year old daughter could not wake her up so, they called her father and when they got home she was already turning blue and unresponsive. Christina was taken by ambulance to the Fort Hamilton Hospital and later had to be transferred to University Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. She laid from September 2009 to April 2010. Months slowly went by and at one time we thought she was going to make it but, after the hospital had done everything they could she eventually developed double pneumonia and succumbed to this horrible disease on April 30,2010. It is so unfortunate that people do not learn the signs. Influenza throughout centuries has taken many precious lives for it does not discriminate. I lost my beautiful daughter to the lack of knowledge and I continue to pray that with the forms of communication we have today that people just listen. That is the most promising tool. Listen and then learn. BE A FRIEND ~ SAVE A LIFE.
