I just wanted to say thanks to all of you for your support and kind words. My niece has finally been discharged from hospital after almost two months due to pneumococcal meningitis and she is making an amazing recovery. She is crawling, laughing and shouting - a lot different from when the doctors told us she had 'substantial brain damage'. It just shows how amazing and resilient children can be :oxD:(

So happy for you all.

 

My nephew suffered with meningitis several years ago and even lost a leg. Now he is tipped for an appearance in the Paralympics so has definitely made the best of a very difficult time.

Fantastic news. I am so glad that all is now well and looking good. What a relief.

My son Philip had meningitis when he was 5 months old. It was a horrendous time but he is now 32, 6 foot 5 and totally OK ..er well he is a bit of a character but I expect that is him not the effects ;-)

How scary for you all, but she sounds like a determined little fighter! My mum was in LGI for/after a brain tumour and they were brilliant - though obviously she wasn't on the children's ward!

 

Good luck for your race x
