2010, London, Laurel Co., KY Death
The Sentinel Echo, (London, KY) - June 10, 2010 [Thursday]
A sudden case of bacterial meningitis took the life of a Laurel
woman after she delivered twins over the weekend. Karin Rush Blankenship, 30, died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center late Sunday afternoon, just one
day after she delivered a son and a daughter by emergency C-section at Saint
Joseph-London.
Blankenship, who
was a nurse at the London hospital, was 32 weeks pregnant with the twins. Her
father, Calvin Rush, said Blankenship told her husband she had not been feeling
well the day before, and complained of a headache early Saturday morning.
"She called her mother around 7:15 that morning," Rush said.
"She wouldn't let Butch (her husband) miss work but told her
mother that she wasn't feeling well and told her that she needed to come over
there." Butch Blankenship said it was around 8:30 a.m. when Karin's
mother, Hazel Rush, called him. "I thought they were going to the doctor,
but somewhere between they went to the emergency room," Butch said. "She (Hazel) called me and said they'd put Karin straight into the OB unit and that I needed to get up there."
Blankenship said doctors wanted to perform a C-section
because they suspected Karin had bacterial meningitis.
The babies, 5-pound Piper Noelle and
4-pound, 8-ounce Aaron Clay, were tested immediately after delivery,
stabilized and flown to UK Children's Hospital in Lexington, where they remain
in the neo-natal intensive care unit. Tests showed neither child had symptoms
of meningitis. "They are doing well," Blankenship
said. "They are breathing on their own and they are eating some. They had Piper on a respirator, but within hours she was breathing on her own.
She's feisty, like her mother."
Despite the loss of their only daughter, Calvin and Hazel Rush are
holding together as best they can. "It hurts. You lose a mother or a
father. But there is nothing to describe losing a child unless you've been
through it," he said. "But God took one angel and gave us two."
"She was one of the best people God ever put on the Earth," said her
mother. "In her job, she touched so many lives and she treated everyone
the same. It didn't matter what your status was. If you were the poorest person
on Earth, she would treat you just the same as she would a rich person."
Karin Blankenship
was a 1998 graduate of North Laurel High School and played the flute in the
high school band. Sharon Hershberger, public relations director for Saint
Joseph-London, said Karin had been employed at the hospital for
about five years. She had also been a nurse at Laurel Heights, her husband
said. Calvin Rush said he believes the meningitis evolved from a severe sinus
infection, coupled with strep. "That may have caused the bacteria, from
what I've gathered from the doctors," he said. "The infection got in
the blood stream and went to the brain. The brain started shutting down the
organs and that's why they had to take the babies, because there was no oxygen
getting to the babies." Bacterial meningitis "sets in so fast," Blankenship said. "Dr. Barton, who was her doctor, said that he'd
never seen anything like this," Blankenship said.
"He's been doing this for 12 years. By the time it (bacterial meningitis)
shows, it's too late."
According to WebMD.com, two out of every 100,000 Americans develop
bacterial meningitis each year. It develops from two types of bacteria —
Streptococcus pneumoniae or Neisseria meningitidis — which travel into the
bloodstream to the spinal cord and surrounding tissues. If the bacteria moves quickly, it can develop in 24 hours or less.
There is also a viral version of the disease, which is more common. According
to the site, between 5,000 and 7,000 people in the United States contract
bacterial meningitis every year — 20 percent of those end in death. The Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention recommend screening for group B streptococci
in all pregnant women at 35 to 37 weeks. Blankenship was 32
weeks pregnant. Rush said if the twins continue to improve, they will be able
to come home in two or three weeks.
Despite the loss of their daughter and wife, both Rush and Blankenship praised the staff at Saint Joseph-London, the UK Medical
Center and the UK Children's Hospital. "We could have taken her to Duke or
Cincinnati or the best hospitals in the world and the outcome would have been
the same," Blankenship said. "The infection had just got in
her system and there was nothing anyone could do, but all the doctors and
nurses did everything they possibly could to save her life. I can't say enough
about any of them, at Saint Joseph or at Lexington. They have my undying
gratitude for what they did for my wife and my babies." He added he knows
that caring for the twins and the couple's other two boys, 7-year-old Hayden and 5-year-old Evan, will be a group effort. "I'm very
fortunate that I have a really good family. Karin's mom and dad
will help and my mom and dad and family will help," he said. "It will
take all of us. It's going to take a village but we're going to do it for
her."

LOUISA, Ky. –
A Lawrence County, Ky., native was among three soldiers killed in a
targeted bombing in Pakistan earlier this week. Matthew Sluss-Tiller, a 1993
Lawrence County High School graduate, was among three American soldiers killed
in a bomb blast Wednesday outside a school in Pakistan. Three students also
were killed in the blast that apparently targeted the soldiers. "He was a
wonderful kid," said Brenda Thornbury, an art teacher at the high school
in Louisa. "He was one of my students. I heard about it last night. It's
been difficult." "He loved God," she said. "He loved his
family, and he loved his country.
When he was in high school, all he ever wanted to do was be in the
military." Sluss-Tiller called her last year and used her as a reference
for an overseas mission, she said. "He called me his school mom,"
Thornbury said. The military never called her to talk about her former student,
she said. "I knew it was dangerous," she said. Sluss-Tiller was based
out of Fort Bragg, N.C.
He is survived by his wife, Melissa, and a daughter, Hannah. His
mother, Jane Blankenship, moved to North Carolina to be close to
the family.

Dr. Steven M. Meader was born in Weirton, WV, on December 21, 1926.
He was the son of the late Stephen and Anna Copelean Meader. He departed this

Dr. Meader was a World War II Veteran, having served honorably in
the United States Navy. He entered the Navy at the age of 17 in 1943. He served
as a sonar operator on a submarine, and represented his sub and ship as a boxer
against other armed forces. Dr. Meader attended college on the G.I. bill and
was graduated as a member of the first class of the College of Stubenville, WV,
in 1949. He worked his way through dental school at the University of Pittsburgh

Association where he served as an executive board member. He was also a member
