My son Tanner, 5 at the time of the accident, had always ridden with me while I mowed our lawn. Our lawn mower is a zero-turn mower with the deck below your feet. On Mon. Sept. 7, 2015 (Labor Day), Tanner was standing between my legs while we finished mowing the grass in our front yard down a small incline. For some unknown reason he jumped off the front of the mower. (He normally told me he wanted off and I would stop so he could.)

Meningitis is an infection that causes swelling of the tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord, so it can be a devastating illness. One of the most significant bacteria to cause this infection is Neisseria meningitidis. This germ kills 10-15 of every 100 people who contract the infection, and of the survivors, 10-20 of those 100 will be left with disabilities. That is why prevention is the key.
If you’ve been tuned into ThedaCare even a little bit, you know we’re focused on making health care better. Finding ways to improve has been in our DNA for more than 100 years. From cancer care to new imaging technology to open heart surgeries to neonatal intensive care and more, we’ve expanded services and tried new ideas.
