Yes, my husband and I have seen the ground beef recall which is around the time I would have bought the ground beef (at Stop & Shop) but I don't know if MA is included in this recall. Time will tell.
We'll probably never know for sure whether it was the zoo or the ground beef in the Hamburger Helper (although no one else got sick). Unfortunately, I'll NEVER feel the same way about petting zoos or ground beef again. I'll probably end up being over protective till she's over this ordeal and a few years older too.
She's got an up hill battle still. Since we've been home, we've been to the ER twice for blood work and a urine test (she has a UTI from the cathider) and she's going again this Wednesday and next Wednesday for follow ups and more blood work.
She's still pale, weak and cranky. She still has puffy eyes in the mornings as I guess she still has excess fluids from her kidney being damaged. It's quite scary. I just pray they caught all of her problems and that she's completely on the mend.
I really just wanted to make other parents aware of the dangers of ground hamburg and zoos and how deadly they can be for a toddler. This syndrome, HUS, is rare but very serious and can be deadly. Most people have never even heard of it. It's quite a new desease. They only named it in 1955.
Her big sister (6) is finally coming home from her aunt's house so our family will be reunited again today, yeah!!!
I pray that I never hear of this happening to anyone else in my lifetime as it's absolutely horrific.
Thanks again for all the well wishes and pixie dust, she sure does need it!
Thank you.
