Student dies from Bacterial Meningitis

<p>ldmom,
Glad your daughter is ok. That's a scare. The pollen here has been replaced by unseasonably cold weather. Last week in the 80's . Tonight in the 20's (but no snow)!! Ahhh-- my newly planted lilies!</p>

<p>But, on the BRIGHT side, took younger s for his annual physical today. Turns out that Novartis is doing a study on a new version of the Menacta vaccine (looking at lot consistency). S qualified for the study. The study paid for his physical today, and pays him up to $100 for participation!. So, we got his physical, his meningitis vaccine (no possibility of a placebo) and he gets to pay for his prom tickets! Things are looking up!</p>

<p>jym - we are also supposed to get some chilly weather tomorrow. ldgirl got off the plane yesterday in a mini-skirt and flipflops with just a backpack for the long weekend. I think she was assuming we would have typical Texas heat...lol!</p>
