Media / TV KGUN's Erin Christiansen Off the Air With Valley Fever

Posted by John Schuster on Thu, Jan 26, 2012 at 4:00 PM

KGUN is reporting that chief meteorologist Erin Christiansen has contracted Valley Fever. The ailment has sidelined her of late and KGUN management expects her to remain off television for at least another week. According to a statement, Christiansen is undergoing treatment and the prognosis is good.

In the interim, Aaron Brackett has been filling in. Brackett will transition to mornings starting next week and April Madison will handle the evening weather reports until Christiansen returns. Jessica Chapin will take care of weather updates during weekend newscasts.

I'm sorry to hear Erin contracted Valley Fever. Last year was the worst year ever for the epidemic of this disease and people might be interested in learning more about it. One site that helped me a lot was http://www.valleyfeversurvivor.com because they talk about it as seriously as what I was seeing in my life, not like I'd sneeze twice and get over it. That seems to be the way people talk about it sometimes! The message board there is AMAZING when you see how Valley Fever affects people. I hope Erin's case won't be nearly so bad.

I hope you get well soon Erin. I had Valley Fever and was flat in bed for 3 weeks. All I wanted to do was sleep. They had to force me to eat. My prayers are with you.
