Went in with an ear infection that had burst. 24 hours in A&E Wednesday and Thursday this morning said it's now meningitis. I'm so scared.

My son has Men C with sepsis last month, he was in hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotics, the following week he had made a full recovery and back at school, very scary time but the hospital were great at treating him, he had the vaccine too last year so it's not always fool proof. I hope you son will also recover well, they will be monitoring him round the clock.

I should have said he's a fully grown adult. We've visited now. It's just such a shock. The hospital weren't worried too much at first he spent a day in A&E no beds available. They gave him morphine and antibiotics for an ear drum rupture. The meningitis wasn't expected. He deteriorated last night. Saw a consultant who changed his antibiotics, ordered a CT scan .

He's so poorly we're all feeling helpless. He's asleep most of the time, when awake is still in awful pain despite the oromorph.

Thank you for your words and prayers.
