I believe entrapment will be proved but I could be getting ahead of myself on lots of details. I'll admit to filling in some blanks right now because I missed a ton of reading and television for the last six weeks or so. I've been back and forth to New York nursing my youngest daughter back to health. I know you've traveled a lot so you may find what happened to her interesting. She and her office manager went to India for two weeks and then to Bali for a week. After they were back in the US for about a week, my daughter came down with typhoid fever followed by sepsis. Ten days in the hospital with fevers spiking to 105 degrees. She lost 19 lbs. in the 3 week duration of the illness in spite of all the requisite IVs. I knew nothing about sepsis nor how dangerous it is. Typhoid fever is actually quite manageable, even untreated the survival rate is pretty high. But sepsis can overwhelm a young, healthy person and bring death in a just a few days. There were three days when I was too anxious and frightened to keep food down. My daughter came through fine and with no lasting damage, we think, to any major organ. Her office manager, though, wasn't as fortunate. She became symptomatic four days after my daughter and was treated at a different hospital, with a different initial diagnosis and different antibiotic regimen. She also became septic and it inflamed her liver and mildly damaged her heart muscle. Only 31 years old and will probably need to have her heart monitored for the rest of her life. Both of them had gotten a typhoid vaccine, but her doctor suggested the vaccine should have been gotten much farther ahead of the trip, something I didn't know made a difference.
