Baby - viral meningitis

[mon34]

Hi all,
First time posting on here as I'm stressing and everyone around me tells me I need to chill as viral meningitis isn't as bad.
My 3 week old was diagnosed with viral meningitis last week. Been on antibiotics and doing very well now. However I can't stop crying and stressing over how this might affect my baby in the future. So many unknowns. All the doctors seem Happy with the progress and we are now home however I can't sleep at all and keep worrying about the future and how this stupid illness might have affected my baby
I know lots of babies get it and recover fully but I can't help .. I'm so anxious

I'm glad your baby is recovering well from this - but you've had a really bad shock & it's only natural that you're worried about the long term. I think you just have to try to take things one day at a time. It's impossible to know what's going to happen, but you're fortunate that your baby is doing well on antibiotics & if the doctors are happy that's a great relief.

Whatever happens, you'll get through it - but hope for a bright future. x

Hi @mon34, how is your DD now? X
