Saw this on the news before I got up this morning, meningitis seems such a huge problem in the UK, I do not think I know of a single child that had this terrible disease in SA
It is very sad to think that it can kill a child in such short a space of time, I am very pleased to know there are more signs to look out for.
When my grandchildren took ill last year, I was very concerned about meningitis, they had something even worse, encephalitis, but thank God, there were well qualified and trained doctors and both of them pulled through and are lively, healthy little ones today.... and only three nights of sleeping in the UK, one sleepless night in the air, and I will be seeing these two precious ones, cannot even think which one to hug first...
Or when to stop hugging them both
:lovef:
