Baby Crimson Survives After Near Fatal Meningitis Ordeal

Emmy and Cody’s baby Crimson faced brain infection and seizures after meningitis diagnosed post birth. Doctors warned the 7 week old might not survive as illness progressed, yet Crimson recovered and is thriving at five months. The family shares the journey online, credits persistent medical care, and advocates newborn testing for Group B streptococcus to avert similar futures.

Iowa faces scarce long-term mental health beds and care gaps

Laurie Mahoney-Willger of Cedar Rapids describes how her son, diagnosed with schizophrenia in his teens, struggles with instability and limited residential options. With over 84,000 Iowans affected by severe mental illness and only about 646 staffed psychiatric beds in hospitals, access to consistent food, medicine, and housing remains scarce. The state ranks last in pediatric and adult psychiatric beds per capita, forcing families into repeated hospitalizations and delayed treatment while legal processes and bed availability complicate commitments.
