My friends LO had the worst strain of meningitis at 2 months old. He was very very poorly, had to have antibiotics, lumber punctures the lot!

His was caught early too and he is now 14 months old and bright as a button. He still has check ups now!

I hope your LO is ok, my little man is called jack too and this really struck a nerve with me knowing what my friend went through.

Huge hugs and best wishes to you all

Massive to you and your LO. I hope he's feeling better soon!!

My stepson and my best friend's baby boy both had meningitis very young, less than 2 months old. And they're both absolutely fine now!

Hiya,sorry if not been on here to reply!this past week or so has been hell jack is a lot better

His blood cultures came back with a strain of bacterial meningitis which, thanks to the dr in the walk in centre, was spotted almost as soon as he saw the spots appearing. He ended up giving a high dose of penicillin into his leg.
If it wasn't for him he could have lost limbs or worse....

He was kept in for 48 hours, not allowed out of his room...he had IV antibiotics 4 times a day and 3 different once each time he had 4 lots of bloods done while he was in there too. He needed a bit of assistance breathing on the first night but he didn't need it for long thank god.

Honestly, we were so lucky. I'm so thankful to that doctor!
We only took him in for a quick check over...

Anyway, he came home n the Monday and 2 days after that he had more blood results back...he needed an oral course of antibiotics which he finished yesterday and today we've been back for yet more bloods done!
He needed his blood count doing again and to check his blood was clotting properly as it wasn't before.

It's all a bit of a blur really

Thank you so much to everyone for comments and posts on here, I'm really gratefull to you all xxx
