Colton Beasley was a college student and musician who contracted viral meningitis. I often refer to viral meningitis as the step-child of meningitis because I think the dangers from this are overlooked more so than from other types of meningitis.
It is also closer to my heart because I, too, was diagnosed with viral meningitis. And although I was not in a coma, I fell into a semi-conscious state, and doctors wouldn't have been surprised if I came out of it brain damaged.
Beasley made it out of his coma and resuming his music career. Below is a link to an article that appeared about him and his band.
Interview with Osara
In June 2012, I contracted viral meningitis. I ended up paralyzed and on a respirator. There was some doubt that I would walk again, and if so, it would take two years for me to walk "normal enough," but I was able to do so in one year. I am still improving, for I am not completely recovered. This blog is to chronicle my experience recovering from spinal cord injury and pass along inspirational stories of others who faced medical situations.
