Hi.
Cian was v irritable fri and sat. Got temp sunday, gave calpol. Temp went to 38.2. Out of hours doc wanted to see him. While there went up to 39. They sent us to a and e. Still very irritable when awake but nearly always asleep. They admitted him for the night.
Monday morning they still weren't happy so wanted him to stay another day.
At this point he'd slept for 35 out of the previous 40 hours. Drinking about half normal milk. Yesterday afternoon I noticed his soft spot was bulging. So my poor little boy had a lumbar puncture. I was sobbing.
A bit after that the rash came up.
His initial results look good, bit full results won't be in til tomorrow. Because of all his symptoms he is being treated for meningitis and septicaemia.
Please pray for us. He seems a bit better today, but still only taking half milk, spot still bulging and rash still there bit not spreading.
Hoping it's nothing major and feel more positive than I did. He's just so little to go through all of this xx
