Measles and/or encephalitis: Advice & Support.

I feel like I'm sinking and DS4's health just seems to be endless.

DS4 (19w adj) has measles, which we were recently told, has develeped complications. He now has encephalitis too.

Anyone been in a similar situation that can offer some advice or support. I feel completely useless and the doctors have basically told us it's a wait and access the damage situation.

I've googled - couldn't help myself - and it's all mixed information. All information I could find is for children not infants, so I can find nothing to relate to beside symptoms. DS is very ill at the minute and I feel clueless and so uneducated.

How is your son? x

Hello, pepsi.

He's doing wonderful, thank you. He has gained all movement in his left leg but still having a few gripping difficulties in his left hand. He has full head control and he's feeding really well.

He's just had the Mitral Valve & Ross Procedure done on his heart, so he's recovering from that but as for his encephalitis he's fully on the mend! :)
