tbe Encephalitis was caused by a sick cat that scratched my thumb. the scratch wasnt really any worse than a paper cut, but it sure caused some problems. It started outwith a swollen Lymph-node under my arm. my mom took me to my doctor about this, and we were told it would go away in time. i cant remember how long he said, but i do remember hating that id have to go all that time with that weird looking lump. my mom asked if i needed an Antibiotic and he said "no". so we went back home and i think it was within about a week later (i dont remember this part) i developed a high fever and was talking "out of my head", so my parents rushed me to the closest hospital. and from there i was taken by ambulance to a better Childrens Hospital. and during this time i went into the Coma.
after some tests, they found that about 75% of my brain was infected and told my family they would know with in 5 days if id live or die. and after 5 days i woke from the coma. my body was completely exhausted of all its strength, but i slowly but surely got itvall back and was goid to leave after about 2 weeks after the Coma.
None of this was really at all a tragic exoerience for me like it was for my family. like i said, i dont even remember the really bad parts.
