Out of the woods and on the mend

Great news. The 48 hr culture test results came back and no bacterial meningitis, or indeed bacteria of any form. Hooray! She has been released for hospital alhough still has a canula so that the remainder of her course of antibiotics can be given intravenously as an out patient today and tomorrow. She isn't quite 100% yet, but not far off. It looks to have been an extremely bad viral infection.

We are so relieved. And knackered. :-)

Thank you to everyone who has posted or texted their support. Reading your messages really helped keep my spirits up. Thank you.

Good news mate. Still no fun for the little one, though. Neither for mum and dad. Head down for a good Christmas.xx

Hi Brian, missed your last couple of posts so did not know your news. It's great that your little girl is now looking OK, your relief must be immeasurable. No one ever tells you how tough being a parent can sometimes be. Take care, get some rest. Andy
