Young Bun
I have just got back from hospital where my daughter was admitted yesterday. My husband has been throwing up all day and is in bed so have nobody to talk to.... sorry it's not bunny related but general chat seems to be gone?!
My daughter had been ill with flu like illness and cough all weekend so first thing yesterday i called dr thinking she could do with antibiotics. Half an hour before i was due to take her in she came out in a rash that i instantly recognised as the meningitis rash on her neck and under her arms. I rushed her straight to the surgery where the gp administered emergency antibiotics and called an ambulance. The paramedics arrived and i had to leave my 4 month old baby at the surgery as they woudnt let him in the ambulance with me and my daughter (mum picked him up asap). My daughter was treated for suspected meningitis for 24hrs until her bloods came back negative. Thankfuly she is now home safe - apparently the rash was caused by her coughing bursting blood vessels, but even the gp thought it was meningitis.
Sorry i didn't mean to write an essay, i just feel a bit shaken up :?
