Last year in Texas, a young boy died from the same brain eating amoeba, Primary Amoebic Meningoecephalitis (PAM). This amoeba thrives in slow moving and stagnant water, including rivers. His parents have started a foundation in his name. The Kyle Lewis Amoeba Awareness Foundation.
Bless all these kids and their families. And bless Kyle's family for trying to protect others.
Let's hope no one who's "Tubing the Trinity" (or Rocking on the River) contracts this deadly disease which has no cure. Seems a "news" station was going to do a story on that very thing last year. Wonder WHO told them not to?
Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteWe wish we had known! We miss him with every breathe and hope other children will be protected with a simple swim mask or nose clip.
Julie,
