One cold night in Winnipeg,Canada, my mom got out of bed when she heard me moaning in pain on the floor of my bedroom. She told me we are going to the hospital, I begged her not to take me. I was so tired and cold and I wanted to wait to just see my family doctor in the morning.

My mom said “I don’t care if you’re in your pajamas, we are going to the hospital”

She saved my life that night.

I spent 5 days in the hospital I was about 16 years old. IV antibiotics and pain medication. I am lucky to be alive.
