    • Barbara became ill just after her 3rd birthday.  Coline remembered her last words were "Mommy, my head wiggles funny".  Coline slept with Barb that night, the whole family was very ill with a bad flu.  Barb began convulsing during the night and had an extremely high fever.  Dillon put Barb into the bathtub with cool water to help bring the fever down.  he was so sick with the flu, he didn't recall doing that.  he was sick for a week. Seattle Childrens Hospital ran every test they knew of but were unable to pinpoint what she had. She continued to convulse and have high fevers for 6 months or so, by then she was in a nursing home and ended up with the mind of a 3 month old.
