After complaining of a nagging pain in her hip, she ended up fighting for her life in the hospital in 2011.Here's an excerpt, beginning with her mother's recollection.I thought, well, you know, she's just finishing up softball.She had been to the track meet, you know, oh, kind of, well, it could have been an injury.I gave her some ibuprofen.As the night wore on, her pain got worse.She didn't sleep much that night, woke me up a couple times asking if she could take a hot bath or have another ibuprofen.The next morning, Tonya Rerecich, a nurse for 16 years, took Addie to a local hospital, where they said she had symptoms of a virus.But over the next two days, the pain spread and the fever got worse.I was afraid.At that point, I remember being very afraid.And so I packed a bag, and we went to another hospital that had -- specialized in children's care.I remember thinking, she looks bad.This is bad.Something's really, really wrong.They put her on antibiotics.Her blood pressure was dropping.They were making space in the ICU for her.
