Carson Soldier Gave Illness A Tough Fight
-----Original Message-----
From: Lacklenj@aol.com [mailto:Lacklenj@aol.com] Sent: Thursday, June 24, 2004 8:01 AM To: randice@modempool.com Subject: Just like our stroke victim Colorado Springs Gazette June 23, 2004 Pg. 1 Carson Soldier Gave Illness A Tough Fight By Tom Roeder, The Gazette It may have been the confidence that Cpl. Adam White always exuded. Even when he was in a hospital bed, unable to speak or move for half a year, his wife and family never thought White would lose his battle with encephalitis, a disease the Fort Carson soldier contracted in Iraq. But that hope turned to tears Saturday when the 24-year-old died. ?He was just a lovely person,? said his wife, Dorit, of Colorado Springs. Doctors still don?t know why White got sick and still can?t explain why he never got better. Theories range from insect-carried diseases to an adverse reaction to a flu shot. He?s the 46th Fort Carson soldier whose death is attributed to service in Iraq. White planned a surprise Christmas visit home to see his bride. But Dec. 7, after eight months in Iraq, he awoke unable to control the left side of his body. Doctors found swelling in White?s brain. The soldier came home from Iraq paralyzed.
