You never think it could happen to you or a loved one

While I sit here this morning with tears in my eyes thinking what you would change to prevent a loved one from contracting meningococcal. The sad truth is there isant anything you can do or change it’s one of those terrible things that happens. In just s few weeks time it will be a year since my little boy overcome having meningococcal and what a life changing situation I was in. And the sad fact I was helpless to do anything other then sit and watch the nursing staff do there job. Looking for reassurance I asked frequently if he was going to be okay and there is nothing in this world that I wanted more then to hear this from there lips. Think what I’m trying to get across is that it is hard and draining and nothing in this world prepares you for this to happen

Thank you for reminding us all how precious life is and that our loved ones suffer too.

How old was he when it happened? How has he recovered? My 18 months old son just got bacterial meningitis last week... Yes, somehow I feel like a useless mother. What did I do wrong? But the odds of it happening are really really low...
