My baby is so poorly :(

[Olivias_mum]

Olivia had an outpatients appointment to see her consultant just as a general check up, whilst we were in the waiting room she got really hot and got a rash all over her body, just looked like a heat rash. When we went in too ser her consultant i asked her to check the rash, she like pushed it with her fingers nand it didnt turn white/disappear (same as the glass test) she ran with her from outpatients to the treatment room in childrens ICU, the nurse put her arm round me and said you dont need to watch this and took me out of the room. they kept saying she has a serious infection and in the end i just screamed at them to tell me what was wrong with her, she has meningcoccal septicemia (the worst kind of meningitis) and pneumonia in her right lung i cant believe it shes been through so much and her immune system is just too weak xxxxx

Just a Quick update!Shes ventilated with pretty high vent settings and sedated at the moment, its all just kind of wait and see what happens at the moment xxxx

All they are saying is that her chances of survival are very low and if she does survive that theres a very high chance she will have some if not all of her limbs amputated :S x

I'm so sorry hun.

My daughter was not premature but at 22 weeks old had meningococcal septicaemia caused by pneumonia too. She was diagnosed after a lumbar puncture and was very poorly (the first 48 hours being the worst). To this day (almost seven years on) it remains the most stressful experience of my life so I can empathise with how you are feeling.

My daughter is fit and well now although she does have a degree of hearing loss and is behind in her class (but this could be cos she's an August baby too) but otherwise has suffered no ill effects.

Your daughter is in the right place and getting the right care. She has fought so hard so far, she won't give up now. Keep going. Thinking of you.x
