19. We almost lost our adult son to HUS as a result of E. coli
two years ago. We had to scour everything he touched with bleach to prevent transmission of the bacteria. We still don't know how he got it and CDC couldn't find out either. After several blood cleansings and many scary hours in ICU, he recovered...just in time to undergo 22 hours of brain surgery for a benign tumor.

Thank goodness he's healed and if not back 100% at least he's alive at 95%.
