One mother, like myself, is attempting to correct inaccurate information reported in the news. Ironically, I worked for this newspaper group several years ago in Lake Tahoe. Mother Laurie Quarnberg posted in a group I am a member of Lemierre's Syndrome Fighters and Survivors several corrections in the article that appreared in the Greely Tribune in Colorado. I want to make sure her voice is heard so inaccuracies are not replicated.
Here is a portion of the story:
When 16-year-old Madison Quarnberg of Greeley started showing symptoms of a sore throat, she didn’t know that it could almost cost her everything. Madison had symptoms of a sore throat and fever, so her mother, Laurie Quarnberg, took her to the hospital, where the doctor said that she had an infection. She was sent home with a round of antibiotics that was supposed to cure her. “I was really scared that first day,” Laurie said. “I knew something was wrong because she had a fever and wasn’t eating.”
