Hi TS, I hope you and DS are doing ok.
I wanted to let you know that my sister made a full recovery from meningitis.
When she became ill, we dithered for some hours before even contacting the GP, unsure of whether her symptoms were that of a bug or something more serious. She was vomiting and complained of a headache initially, when she eventually became delerious we contacted the GP and were sent to A+E.
A lumber puncture suggested meningitis, she then developed a rash, which to be honest looked like little more than three flea bites on her upper thigh!
She was admitted to a quarrantine room, put on IV anti-biotics and 10 days later returned home absolutely fine. It was an awful week or so for us but she didn't seem to realise what all the fuss had been about, enjoyed the lounging around and felt a bit bored! Ignorance is bliss.
(Meanwhile, the rest of us had to take antibiotic tablets which turned our pee to lucozade orange. If your DS is diagnosed with meningitis, you may well be given similar.)
Thinking positive thoughts for you all xx
