Lindsey was born on March 14, 1985 and grew into a beautiful young lady. She loved her family and friends, spending time with her older Sister Alicia, her cousin Ashley and her friends, but most of all her 2 nephews Ryan and newborn Chuckie.
Our nightmare started right after Christmas in 1999. We had a wonderful Christmas, a new baby, little Chuckie, Ryan only 4 at the time and really into Christmas, what a wonderful time and how I wish that I could go back.
About a week or 2 before Christmas Lindsey had a lymph gland in front
of her right ear swell up, no other symptoms , just
a swollen gland. Off to the doctor we went the same
day, we were told that she had an ear infection that
had moved to the gland, she had a few ear
infections when she was younger so not alot
more thought was given to it, antibotics were
prescribed and taken. After about a week the
swelling had not gone down, so back to the doc we went. A change in antibotics was what was needed. So here we go with a new round of meds, not to alarming because when she was little at times we would have to change antibotics to get an ear infections cleared up. Other that the ear infections she was always pretty much healthy, except for bad migrains that she would get. Lindsey started taking the 2nd round of antibotics and the day that school was to return after Christmas break, she woke up for school and for the first time said that she did not feel well, so we went to the ER that time. After spending about 6 hours in the ER we were told that she would have to be admitted, the ER doc said that she had mono and that she would be treated with IV fluids and antibotics, He also contacted our family Doc, and he thought that an biospy should be done, so here is our journey.
