Kelli Dupuy’s daughter is just 18 months old. At that age, there are a lot of firsts.

“First trip,” Dupuy said. “We went to the splash pad, and she loved it.”

Her first trip to a local splash pad also led to another first.

“The very next day, the next morning she up, and she was sick,” Dupuy said. “Never had been sick. Ever.”

Dupuy took her to the doctor.

“The test came back positive for E. coli,” she said. “It’s fecal matter. How terrifying is that?”
