i love Depp so much

I think Lily had the exact same thing that I had this past summer. I got E. Coli and went to the hospital where they found out I had E. Coli. After being admitted it was confirmed that I had Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and I was in complete kidney failure along with fluid in my lungs, a heart murmur, panchreatitis, and more. I am 14, and I was told that it is extremely rare for smeone as old as me to get HUS, and most patients were under 10. I was transferred to a more advanced hospital by ambulance to undergo dialysis, blood transfusions, and more during my two week stay. I wasn’t given much chance of survival, but luckily, I’m still here today with no complications. To this day, we have never found out where I got the E. Coli from. Does anyone know if what Lily had was Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome also? I’m glad she was as lucky as I was and has recovered!

how sad i am really glad that she is feeling better and she has a great father and she is really pretty just like her dad and i am glad she is alive

I’m 17, I actually contracted E. Coli this past October (in 2006) from water in a local river. I read some of these stories and I realize I didn’t have it as bad as I may have thought. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and on dialysis for 5. I had 4 blood transfusions and blood pressure issues. I’m on some medication to keep my kidneys from scarring now, and I’ll probably need a transplant by the time I’m 40. Which isn’t too bad of an outcome compared to some others. Besides… by the time I’m 40 they’ll probably have a pill I can take to grow new ones…

Not a virus–definitely a bacterium

My daugher (10) contracted the E-COLI virus which let to Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) from drinking raw (unpasteurized milk) It is NOT rare to get this from milk. Raw milk is extremeely dangerous for children.

Im wondering what Johnny Depp’s daughter ate. It would be interesting to hear the reports on her. Im glad she is doing well because my daughter almost died and she stayed in the hospital for nearly 2 months. This is a scary, unpredictable disease.

My heart goes out to Johhny and his family.

In April of o5 my four tear old was admitted into ICU with e-coli. She ten developed hemalytic uremic syndrome. Her kidneys shut down and she was on dialysis. Her blood pressure would drop to 45/40 so they had her on 3 different blood pressure meds. She lost her ability to speak for 4 weeks and her ability to see for 2 weeks. her body temp. would drop to 94.7 so they had to keep heat lamps on her. Her pancreas shut down so she was on a insulin drip. Her bowel perforated and they had to remove 75% on her colon and she had a colostomy bag for 3 months. She had at least 10 blood transfusion and she was on ventalator because her lungs started closing. We were in Childrens Hospial for three months the first time then we were in there two weeks for the colostomy takedown. It has been almost two years yet it feels like it was yesterday. They think in about 7-10 years she’ll need a kidney transplant. she has sores on her brain that causes her to have severe migraines and petty mall seizers. She’s on insulin but her spirits are good. The renal doctor told me on the day we were released that she was the worst case he had ever seen and he didn’t think she would make it the first week. When I heard about Johnny’s little girl I wept for him. My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family.

My son contracted ecoli from the water at school in southeastern ontario. He was laid up in the hospital for almost 7 months – he needed blood transfusions – plasma transfusion – dialysis. it has been 4 years since the ecoli contamination and his kidneys are still deteriating. He is on meds for high blood pressure – kidney function – and to help his heart. Ecoli is a very dangerous virus.

I love how Johnny Depp is in love with his kids.

This quote of his always makes me warm and fuzzy inside:

“Anything I’ve done up till 27 May, 1999 was kind of an illusion, existing without living. My daughter, the birth of my daughter, gave me life.”

This is just my opinion, but I don’t think this should be discussed since the family has requested the media not to publish the cause of the illness. If CBB is not publishing pictures where the parents or children looked uncomfortable, information should be treated the same way too, especially for something this serious.
