PATIENT OF THE MONTH 

Elizabeth Stemporzewski

It was the summer of 1997 and I was eleven.  With middle school right around the corner and the summer quickly ending, I was spending the day at my grandparents’ house while my parents were at work. Having a small cold, my mom called to check in on me in the morning; I was fine.  When she called back a couple hours later, I was crying in pain.  My body was swollen, I had gained ten pounds in water weight, I could not get comfortable and whatever I had was no match for Benadryl.  My mom rushed home and eventually we were able to reach Children’s Hospital Boston, after failed attempts with our family physician and local hospital. Children’s wanted to see me the next morning.
