    My Brothers daughter was rushed into hospital yesturday with suspected meningitis , which was confirmed today.
    She is only 21/2 years old.
    I don't know yet what type she has.

    It is a good thing they have lots of help from their congregation , who are looking after their other children for them.

    I don't know if blood transfusions are an issue with meningitis , apparently one type poisions the blood , this is the type they think shes got.

    I'm not familiar with any link between blood transfusions and meningitis. I had the bacterial kind which at the time required being packed in ice for the fever, antibiotics and a spinal tap.

    I've no doubt they'll have her on an IV with antibiotics. Big hugs and yes... Please keep us posted.

    So sorry to hear that. A little girl in my son's preschool had viral meningitis last year and made a full recovery. It's nice to have a support system when you need it.
