I was unable to keep food, water, or Tylenol down due to excessive vomiting. Almost every hour (for 48 hours) I was vomiting. I could not sleep. My temperature ranged from 101-104 over the course of 3 days, unrelieved by Tylenol,” Lobosco says.

I was in the hospital from April 8-May 4.” Although she has been discharged from the hospital, recovery still maintains its struggles. Even with the struggles, Lobosco maintains her positivity. continued on page 6
