And I'm really really scared.

Is anyone up to hold my hand and tell me it'll be ok?

Hope all is going well. My friend had meningitis. She lost the hearing in one ear and temporarily all sense of balance but is now a musician and doing great. Only impact of her hearing loss is taking ABs whenever shes ill to prevent losing other ear. Aged 30 now and other ear is 100%

How are things this morning? Been thinking of you all nights, and little B. Get some coffee. xxx

good morning - hope you've managed some sleep and today will be a better day

Poor you. Ds was in hospital for six weeks as a baby so I understand a bit of the hellishness. The worst bits are the nights when your partner and visitors can't be there. I found talking to other parents on the ward got me through a bit. The care in picu/ hdu is generally excellent, if she does go there for a bit. Xx

Sending thoughts to you and B today.

Another big hug and sending a virtual mug of coffee. Don't be scared of the High Dependency Unit, or even PICU - it means your daughter is getting very, very specialised care and the best medical attention. Which hospital are you in?

MrsApplepants · 11/06/2012 09:42

Sending prayers and love xx
