BB FANS

Last week my little boy fell ill. After deteriorating day after day he finally was admitted to hospital with all the symptoms of viral menigitis. By Sunday night he was delerious and was asking for his mummy while sitting on my lap! He had to have a lumber puncture (where fluid is drawn from the spine) and was then admitted to an isolation room. The whole thing was absolutely horrible and Sunday night was just the worst experience ever. Anyway the good news is he is over the worst and has been allowed home to sleep and has to return tomorrow. He still has his IV in so he can be given medicine as and when he needs it. Until now he hasn't wanted anyone near him whch is unusual for him as he is usually very cuddly. However tonight as I tucked him into bed I got my first kiss and cuddle from him since Thursday. Adrenaline rush is wearing off for me now and I feel a mixture of elation and tearfulness. Just glad to see the old Elliot starting to come back.

For those of you that knew and were praying thank you so much

It must have been very hard for you (hug)

Very glad that Elliot is on the mend.
Make sure that you look after yourself too.

Lots of hugs and kisses to Elliot and you BBoop. I even had my mother light a candle for you.

Consider another candle lit for you here as well.

Lots of love and hope Elliot makes a full recovery.

CC is right. Give yourself recovery time too.

(hugs)

Oh that is awful. I'm so glad he is on the mend now, you must have been beside yourself.

Good thoughts going to you all. Poor wee thing.

Hope Elliot gets better soon BBoop and allow yourself some time to recover as well.

Give Elliot a big hug from me Boopy and another one for yourself as you must have gone through a very traumatic time.

We hope he will soon be back to normal again

Hurrah for God answering prayers

and BIG hurrah that he's home with you guys

Glad Elliott is on the mend and ill say a prayer for both of you

Thank you all very much guys. All prayers welcome! Off to bed now and will keep you all posted on his progress.

Very sorry to hear about this, BBoop...

But great that he's on the mend.

Look after yourself in the days and weeks to come...you've been through the mill.

I remember when I was worried about my daughter (for various reasons during the past year), and knowing that people were praying (when I was incapable of it) was a great comfort indeed.

you are SO right and is one of the many blessings of being a Christian in my opinion

Give Elliot a big (((HUG))) from me BBoop and here's a big (((HUG))) for you.

Consider it done Foinavon

Elliot feeling much better today after a really good nights sleep. I think it ended up being about 14 hours solid sleep mind you having not slept properly since Wednesday last week he was probably glad of a decent kip. Back to hospital this afternoon but he is dressed and chatting away today. Amazing how he has bounced back

I was very shocked to hear this news bboop, but so glad that he is on the mend now. Meningitis is a terrible thing. As others have said, please make sure that you look after yourself as well.
