Modern medicine has come a long way in recent decades and things never before thought possible are now everyday standard practices. Things like pre-natal surgeries, advances in prosthetics, even using animal anatomy for certain transplant purposes like pig valves in hearts.

It seems like it is rare these days to find something, be it an illness or an ailment, that we don’t know about or have a remedy for. Even using eastern medicine like acupuncture or herbal remedies. The options seem to be endless and we depend on our doctors or medical personnel to be able to help us when we aren’t feeling our best.

So what happens when you’ve been suffering for over a decade but no one can tell you what is wrong?

This is a true nightmare that happened to Kathi Wilson. At just 41 years of age Kathi began to suffer from flu-like symptoms like fatigue, muscle aches and just in general did not feel well. As the years went on she saw more and more doctors and specialists but her condition continued to decline.

As she declined it even got a point where she could barely walk. Her doctors ran every test they could think of from X-rays to MRI’s on her brain and spine, all to no avail. After so many years of decline, it got to a point where she could barely walk and would spend her days sleeping as the only escape from the pain. Yet still, no one could tell her what was wrong.

Finally as the years wore on and she did not improve Kathi decided to do something nice for herself and remodel her bathroom. She wanted to make it a kind of oasis to get away from her ailments. She was going to modernize by changing tile, redoing the shower, the vanity and replace her old hot water heater.

Little did she know, the decision to remodel her bathroom would change everything for Kathi.

After years of suffering, countless tests and doctors it would be a pair of contractors who came to redo her bathroom but would end up saving Kathi’s life. It was when they went to replace her water heater, these 2 heroes discovered what had been making her sick all along. A very small gas leak.

Slowly but surely over the course of 10 years, Kathi was being poisoned by carbon monoxide that was leaking from her water heater. It had been improperly installed and a tiny leak had been consistently pouring out into Kathi’s home causing all her symptoms and explaining why she was only getting worse. After all this time and suffering Kathi had the answer she had been praying for and now she could finally be optimistic about the future.

It wasn’t a medical specialist that saved Kathi but contractors who came to install a water heater who ended up saving a life.

As a clear, odorless gas carbon monoxide can be very dangerous and it’s important to check any appliances or elements that may have issues such as Kathi’s water heater. We are so glad to hear the mystery was solved and she can now move on to live her life all thanks to her neighborhood contractors!
