Charlie had a cold for 5 days then he got a temperature so i phoned the nhs which told me to go to emergency dr cos it was the evening, they said just give him calpol see how he is tomoz, the next evening he got a rash phoned nhs again they told me to go emegency dr again which they then sent me to hospital they wanted me to stay the night as they didnt know what it was he went all drowsie the next morning and had trouble breathing so they put him on antibiotics incase it was meningitis or somthing else he had to have a lumber puncher the next day to find out what it is that was making him so ill they took ages with results and i finally found out 6 days later that it was viral meningitis but as soon as he was on antibiotics he started to get better so by the time we found out what it was hed had 6 days of medication and he was back to his normal self so we stayed in for 7 days all together for his full course of antibiotics, it was the worst week ever it was the not knowing that was the worst and seeing all the other ill babies at the hospital too was awfull, i stayed with him the whole time, im so glad to be home now and so glad hes ok xxx

Oh hun, sorry to hear how poorly he's been, glad he's on the mend though 
.
What was sad though is that he was misdiagnosed in their city the first 2 times and if he hadn't been he might have made it. But its hard to detect it in babies. 
I am so glad you have a happy outcome and just give Charlie an extra slobbery kiss from all of us
