I read this website and cried and cried. I'm so sorry Justin did not survive this terrible lemierre's disease and I pray for your family to be able to get through all this.<BR/>My son Michael, 17 years old, just had lemierre's syndrome in February '08' and is still having complications from it because the infection infected many organs but it caused damage to his mitral valve & Michael had to have Open Heart Surgery last month (June 08). His valve is still leaking and he may need another heart surgery and maybe a replacement valve if it gets worse. Michael was at UCSF in San Francisco in the PICU for over 2 weeks in Feb. and was at Children's hospital in Oakland,CA for his heart surgery. I will email you and give you details about our experience with lemierre's. It is definately not that rare when I see all these people commenting on your website about having it. Thank you for getting the word out about this deadly and damaging infection. I'm sick about Justin passing, I'm so sorry, words cannot express my sorrow for your family. Your parents have endured more pain than any parent in their lifetime should. I hope we can talk sometime...

You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I just found out about this site yesterday from my mom. I've been reading it for about an hour now. My eyes are blood shot. I was told I had lemierres's in October of 2007. Most of the things I remember are from what people told me. They had to take my jugular vein out on the right side of my neck. I could still go blind from the clots in my head. Long story short, I have been spreading the word throughout the Baltimore, DC area. I will continue to remain updated with this page. My e-mail is cummings1095@hotmail.com. Feel free to keep in contact. <BR/>GordieGordieChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738757243232121172noreply@blogger.com
