Prospect Info: Tim Bozon released from hospital

Are we cursed or something ?

I don't care about "we" at this point. A kid's life is at stake. I don't care if he never plays hockey ever again, as long as he makes it.

Then for his sake hopefully he can survive and not have his life aspirations altered by it.

That too. But first things first.

1- His life
2- His quality of life
3- His life aspiration

Very sad. Poor kid.

Depending on how old you are, look at the white hairs on your parents head. A lot of them were caused from taking you to the doctor with a fever , having tests done, and the fear that it was meningitis .

I have my fair share of white hair from that very doctors visit.

My older sister got meningitis while she was 2 year old, and my mother was pregnant of me.

t'was not a fun tale. It ended well, all things considered, but she came really close to death a bunch of times.

Thoughts go out to #Habs prospect and Kootenay F Tim Bozon who is apparently in Saskatoon hospital with a case of meningitis.

Not good...could challenge his career

 

[Halifaxhab*]

Not good...could challenge his career

he actually should be fine. He is young, and in shape, with a good medical team, his recovery should be fast and unremarkable (as in no issues)

Viral Meningitis gets taken care of in about a week. Then he'll need a couple more weeks of rest before he can start to train again. Bacterial types take less time to recover from.


Basically, he could be playing in the playoffs. But may miss the rest of the year. But physically, he should be fine.

 

[FrontierPsyCHiatrist*]

Praying for him and his family.

 

[habitue*]

Any reaL confirmed news about him ?

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

no news is really scary. really pulling for the kid.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

I just did some research about this disease and it is very scary; 5% chance of dying, 20% chance of long term disability

L'Ice de Kootenay maintient encore ce matin sa politique de ne pas formuler de commentaires sur la santé de l'espoir des #Habs Tim Bozon

 

[Habskrieg]

Hope the kid's alright. :/

No, it's to be expected.

The man is being pumped to the brink with antibiotics, which takes a heavy toll on the body.

this.

The kid should focus on recovery. Either way, the year is done for him. He should deal with this and do what needs to be done after he is out of the woods

Really ?? What's your source of knowledge on this subject ??

 

[DogsFan*]

Our Timmy is keeping fighting but...thank you so much for your wonderful wishes.helene and Phil Bozon

From his Twitter.. Very scary sounding tweet.

From his Twitter.. Very scary sounding tweet.

Exactly my feelings when I read it too. Best wishes ti him and his family.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Isn't meningitis when the brain freezes or something like that?

There are two types of meningitis: bacterial and viral. The former is more serious.

 

[Hemlor]

I remember my grandma used to tell me to never walk outside when it's cold with wet hair because I could easily get this.

wet hair does not cause meningitis. If you were being sarcastic, then apologies

 

[habitue*]

That sounds very serious. Sad.

 

[Alexdaman]

There are two types of meningitis: bacterial and viral. The former is more serious.

Bacterial meningitis is probably what he has since:

In adults, Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae together cause 80% of bacterial meningitis cases

The risk of death:

Untreated, bacterial meningitis is almost always fatal. Viral meningitis, in contrast, tends to resolve spontaneously and is rarely fatal. With treatment, mortality (risk of death) from bacterial meningitis depends on the age of the person and the underlying cause. Of newborns, 20–30% may die from an episode of bacterial meningitis. This risk is much lower in older children, whose mortality is about 2%, but rises again to about 19–37% in adults

Possible effects of the illness:

Meningitis can lead to serious long-term consequences such as deafness, epilepsy, hydrocephalus and cognitive deficits, especially if not treated quickly

I personally know it can also lead to paralysis.

Well it's getting serious now. Best wishes Tim.

 

[PhysicX]

Sheeeet. Didn't take it as anything life-threatening at first, but damn me. Keep the fight kid!
