Hi Scott,
Best wishes for you son's recovery. (I'm no doctor but it sounds very much like viral meningitis)
You have my and my family's prayers!
I know _exactly, precisely_ where you are mate. You are weary, sick in the stomach, and your head is running 15 to the dozen day and night.
I know it well:
My (one and only) daughter contracted neo-natal bacterial meningitis when she was just 24hrs old. She teetered on the brink of death for three days, and then spent a further 4 weeks in hospital (most in high-dependency). We spent several years watching, praying and hoping, (testing, scanning) to see what would result -- hoping for the best but expecting the worst.
She is now 17 years old (well, in two weeks time) and is totally unscathed -- so have hope! Bad results can happen but so equally can good ones! She is doing the HSC this year and with two high-level subjects she is aiming for the low to mid 90s. See, kids can go through these sorts of problems and come out fine. Keep your spirits up!!
Will be thinking of you (thought I don't know you) and praying.
Best,
Les D
