Jesus PK -

Spinal meningitis has a mortality rate I don't even want to think about. I would have shit my pants if that happened to me when my son was born.

I seriously can think of NOTHING worse than that. Spinal Taps are 100,000 X worse than a needle. Not only do they hurt worse than a broken bone, but then you get the headache from hell and you want to die. I have seen a spinal tap bring a grown man to tears.

Consider yourself BLESSED that he made it through.

I thought it was bad when my son was born and he had to have his stomach pumped. I almost passed out watching that. Having to go through watching my infant baby struggle with infant spinal meningitis would END ME.

Do they know where he got the infection from?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
