I'm so sorry OP, but please know that most people who get meningitis make a great recovery.

Posted on your other thread. Try not to worry - you're in the right place. I had men b with septicaemia when I was 17 and I'm still here to tell the tale.
Meningitis research foundation are great for support.
Thinking of you

Thinking of you and your ds op, be strong

You are stronger than you think - you can do this.

What results are you waiting for OP? I know blood cultures and LP results can take a little while.
My DS2 was being treated for suspected meningitis when he was just 5 weeks old, it turned out in the end to be sepsis. He was very poorly and needed a lot of medication and it was absolutely terrifying. But he was completely better in a couple of weeks and now 5 months later you would have never of known.
They're tough little things, be kind to yourself OP

OP, ---->

Sending you and your DS strength and best wishes.

He is in the very safest of hands.

Oh you poor things. I am wishing your little DS a speedy recovery ((((((hugs)))))) for you both and for you..

(((hugs))), handholding and love and strength to you - he's in the right place and I'm absolutely sure they'll be going as fast as they can to work out what's to do.

for you both and everything tightly crossed for a full and fast recovery

Thank you all. We are waiting to find out if it is the bacterial or viral kind

Thank you all

The diagnosis and treatment of this has made leaps and bounds in the last 20+ years. It's amazing what they can do now. Your son is in the best place at the moment. Try to keep that in mind. Best wishes for the both of you.

Thinking of you and your ds. Best wishes.

I am so sorry! Best wishes to you all

Hand hold.

DD had suspected meningitis when she was 19 days old. Turned out to be sepsis and she was very ill for awhile. Hospital were absolutely fantastic and I owe her life to them.
She's nearly 3 now and you would never know that she'd once been ill.
Keep strong OP. Lots of hugs to you and your DS x
