suspected meningitis!terrified
Hi girls, i've had the most awful 3 days. Olivia has been non stop poorly for 5 weeks since being in nursery including chicken pox!got rushed in an ambulance, blue lights flashing to hospital tues eve with suspected meningitis. Antibiotic drip in now so hopefully if it is we've caught it early. We had to her her down for 35 mins screaming till she farted and coughed at same time while 2 doctors tried to insert a canilar (sp?) into her tiny little veins. It was the worst 35 mins of my life!Just waiting for cultures to come back now to see if there is any bacterial growth. lovely ward and nurses.so frightened though.
I just knew something was wrong,she went limp in my arms and had a temperature of 38.7 after having calpol!took an hour for ambulance to turn up.
sorry about rushed typing
I just pray the results come back negative tom and if it is positive result, we caught it early and the anti biotics kick in!
A very worried mum xx

Can't believe it took the ambulance that long!!!! How awful it must've been for you. I've got my fingers crossed for you and hope Olivia feels better soon. Please let us know the outcome although I know you'll be busy snuggling your LO.
