Oh no, this is really horrible.

Who are the MN-ers who live near her?

Soupy, I think....Lou?

Janh · 10/11/2005 10:51

YG has tried soupy's phone, she's not in, may be with TS at hosp? And she says Lou is in Thailand right now, that soon came round, I didn't realise.

There are others in the general area but I'm not sure who and I don't know which hospital.

Hoping and praying he will be ok TS, we are all thinking of you.

I will be around this pm different part of Surrey, but happy to help. Will have DS in tow.

trace2 · 10/11/2005 10:57

hope ds ik thinking of them

Janh · 10/11/2005 10:58

Her DD will be at school today, but I think soupy would have had her last night if she could.

TS's parents are local too but not the most helpful kind.

wilbur · 10/11/2005 11:01

Just got another text:

"Rash still spreading, taking more tests. I still don't think he seems ill enough to be serious although he's tired and quiet obvs unlike him! am still worried though, apparently typical M rash"

Now he's in they will already be giving him meningitis antibiotics as a precaution, won't they?

GeorginaA · 10/11/2005 11:30

Thinking of TS and her boy. Soupy/Janh - let me know if there's anything I can do please.

trace2 · 10/11/2005 11:31

yes dh had this when she was two, and before tests come back they start treatment

trace2 · 10/11/2005 11:32

sorry dd

WigWamBam · 10/11/2005 11:33

Oh bugger, I was hoping for better news that that. Thinking about you both, here's hoping for better news later.

Gobbledigook · 10/11/2005 11:33

Fingers crossed and a million good wishes. Let's hope they can treat him very quickly and get him well soon.

BudaBabe · 10/11/2005 11:33

Fingers crossed they are treating him already.

I kep thinking of them. I don't "know" TS but do remember reading some of her posts under her previous name. How old is her DS?

hunkermunker · 10/11/2005 11:35

Am thinking of TS and her DS. Thanks for posting the update, Jan - just wish it had been better news Am hoping the fact he seems OK is good news.

Skyler · 10/11/2005 11:41

Oh blimey. I followed this last night and was hoping for good news today. Like someone else said though you can get a similar rash to M and it be something different. Really hoping for them.

zippitippitoes · 10/11/2005 11:41

hope he's ok, thinking of you..only quiet when you really don't want them to be ...

crunchie · 10/11/2005 11:42
