heart breaking
I met Megan when she was a little girl--her older brother played on the same little league team as my little brother. She was also my classmate's cousin.
She passed away this week, and I just wanted to share her story. She was such a sweet, happy person despite all the health problems she had. She was brave and kind, inspired and brought together an entire community.
My heart just breaks for her family and friends.
About Megan:
"I was born with Complex Congenital Heart Disease with three open heart surgeries to help me survive. Things went great and are still going great but sometimes in life we are faced with different paths to take in life whether we are ready for them or not. About 5 years ago, the doctors found that I am fighting a disease called Protein Losing Enteropathy (PLE), meaning that I gain fluid and lose protein. This has challenged my body when I was fighting any illness but with the strength of God we are able to get through a illness. In December, I started having high fevers feeling very fatigue. The fevers lasted approximately seven days. Thinking things were back to normal, I started going back to my normal life routines to find out that in 7 days these fevers would return. This time the fevers were still high and this time my PLE kicked in and I gained so much fluid that it was time for a trip to the hospital. After 7 days fevers stopped and fluid decreased. Hoping this was it for my fevers the doctors took me out school saying it was time to totally focus on my health. AS sad as I was to leave school, it needed to be done. About ten days later, the fevers came back and the doctors said it was time to come to the hospital and figure out what is going on. After lots of intense testing, they found that I had a mono-like virus that spread to its extreme state causing the cells to grow to an abnormal state, which is now diagnosed as Lymphoma. All we ask for is prayers."
