An American nurse is fighting for her life with a life-threatening illness after falling sick just two days into her honeymoon in Japan. Sarah Danh, 27, landed in San Antonio on Tuesday evening, April 21, following a grueling, 20-hour flight from the Asian country, where she was in a hospital with acute liver failure, according to People. The labor and delivery nurse and her partner of seven years, Luke Gradl, 28, exchanged vows on March 21 in Houstons Spring Branch neighbourhood in what he described as their dream wedding, before flying to Tokyo on April 8.When we arrived at the hotel the afternoon of April 8, she was not feeling well. So, we decided to rest that day because we had 16 total days in Japan, so we could afford to rest half a day, budding pilot Gradl told the outlet. April 9 things started to go bad very quickly, so I immediately took her to the hospital just before midnight, where we were admitted to the emergency room, and the next day moved to the ICU because of life-threatening health decline. Her symptoms included jaundice, body aches, and vomiting. Gradl said his wife didnt show any signs of illness before their trip abroad. Japanese doctors diagnosed Danh with acute liver failure but Gradl said she was also suffering from kidney failure and intracranial brain pressure, describing her battle as a test like no other. Danh, who works at Methodist Stone Oak Hospital, needs a liver transplant. Being away from home during such a vulnerable time has been incredibly difficult for Sarah and her husband, Luke, as they try to navigate the uncertainty and worry together, Ongmanchi said, documenting the couples ordeal. Gradls parents son-in-law even joined calls with doctors in Japan while Danh was in the hospital. I dont know how we would have survived without him, Gradls mom, Sally, told Fox San Antonio.The post Nurse airlifted back to US as she battles life threatening illness after falling sick on Japan honeymoon appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
