Work is very sober today. Two coworkers very suddenly lost their toddler to illness over the holiday.

No warning. He was fine Thursday morning, gone by Friday night. Two year old little boy.

Just suddenly spiked a fever that led to seizures and organ failure. They still don’t know why.

Ooof. >.<

Oh bless their hearts. I am so sorry.

Poor kid and poor parents. I hope they find out what happened.

We’re doing all we can for them, which is passing around a hat. They’re sure to have incidental expenses from this, we can make sure they don’t have to think about the small ones.

That's really kind. I'm sure they appreciate it.

oh gosh. How terrible. Glad they have support from their workplace but what a horrible thing to go through.

I don’t know them enough to know if they have close family. I’m hoping so.

oh no 8C that's so terrible

a fever into a seizure makes me thing febrile seizure? kiddo had one of those when she was younger and it was genuinely terrifying

*think, not thing

Def that from what we’ve been told, but the cause is unknown.

oh god, poor baby, that's horrifying

Oh man
