Announcement: 
Our sincere sympathies go  out to the family of Jim Becker, a popular West 
Coast Swing coach in Chicago, IL  for the death of his 2 year old daughter.  
Below is their story:

As some of you may  already know, our beautiful baby girl Jenna was  
admitted to the hospital at 1:30am on Friday  March 29th.  We are very sad to let 
you  know that Jenna passed away on June 2nd at  2:45pm.  She originally 
went to the  hospital for a high fever and seizure.  The  Dr.'s believed it was 
Febrile Seizure brought on  by the spike in her temperature which was  104. 
 She was put on a ventilator  until Friday afternoon.  When she woke up  
she was able to say a few things, Daddy, baby  and bark like a dog.  We 
thought things  were going to be fine.  She was  experiencing left side paralysis 
which can  happen after a seizure.  The Dr's were  confident that she would 
be fine the paralysis  would go away quickly.  Her fever continued  to be 
high but finally broke on Monday.   Jenna however had a really bad night.  She 
 was not alert anymore and started having more  seizures.  They were worse 
than the first  one.  She had about 20 seizures on Tuesday  night after 3 
differnt MRI's and was finally  moved back to ICU. Her respiratory system  
started to fail so they put her back on a  ventilator.  On Wednesday morning 
they did  another EEG and it showed that there was no  brain activity. The CT 
scan showed that there  was more swelling and a hernia.  After a  final 
brain death test she was pronounced dead  at 2:45 on June 2nd.  All tests were 
run  through Children's Memorial Hospital and all  came back okay.  They are 
yet to figure out  what exactly caused this to happen to her  brain.  
Hopefully, we will know more in a  few weeks. 

Jenna was a very sweet and  healthy little girl.  When she went to bed  
that night she was fine.  She was always  happy and the light of our life.  We 
are  going to miss her dearly.  Your thoughts  and prayers are all we ask 
for at this very  trying time. 

The wake will be held on  Friday at Malec and Sons Funeral Home, 6000 N.  
Milwaukee Ave., Chicago, IL  60646.  Visitation will be from 2-9pm.  The 
Funeral  will be on Saturday at 10:00am at Malec and Sons  Funeral Home. She 
will be buried at Arlington  Cemetery in  Elmhurst. 


Sincerely,

Jim Laurie &  Jenna Becker
