The doctors will come and put the drugs into him for five days, but, although me and Mum haven't seen him, he's absolutely fine! His daddy will have to go back to Afghanistan in the next couple of days, but he is "only" there until early November. I know November is a long way away in the place he is, but it will soon pass Me and my family really appreciate all the support - hugs to all _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

JaneMarple Star Poster Registered: Fri Jan 30 2004 Posts: 14486 Loc: North West of England	Sorry I haven't updated you all for a few days! His Daddy went to the airport this morning, so should be flying back as we speak. Aparently the meningitis was started from a stomach bug or something. William goes to nursery three times a week, so it is possible that it started from there. So he is free to go out into the big wide world again - although we'll have to keep a eye on him for the next few weeks/months, as he will be vunable to pick up anything. He only has the drip in his chest at the moment, and seeming the doctor's don't need to come and give him the drugs any more, that will be removed soon. All in all, he's doing just fine. We'll probably look back over this worrying time in years to come and shake our heads _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.

He's going to have a operation to remove the chest drain today, a quick procedure, and then he should be a lot more comfortable hopefully! _________________________ My mind is like a parachute...it functions only when open.
