Test have proved that meningitis have stricken Glenn. Sinabi nya yung complete medical term nung pumunta kami ni happiman last Saturday kaso nalimutan ko lang.
If the result came out Sunday, he should be out today or tomorrow. Parang addict na braso ni Glenn, daming turok ng needles. Yung isa pang kumuha ng dugo di marunong labas pasok yung needle... di ba alam ng nurse masakit yun?!?
O nga pala, if you guys plan to visit him, don't be surprised if you find his room dark. The only light that is lit up is from the washroom. Masakit daw sa ulo yung ilaw ng room kaya nakapatay. :D

How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
Symptoms generally appear within 1 week of exposure. Illness usually lasts less than 10 days, and people usually recover completely without complications.
