So Herbie is now 20 months and still has 6 teeth at the bottom and 4 at the top. These are pretty weak and feeble teeth too. Poor little man. The others had loads of teeth by now. So I wondered is it the Meningitis?? I gave in to my nagging mind and called my HV Paula who I actually like (so many people moan about theirs). She totally put my mind at ease about it all.
As for the talking...well we have a few more words although I am sure only his nearest and dearest would understand them.
We got a Thank You card this week from the staff at the PHDU for all of the things we got with the fundraising £'s. Hana, the nurse who gave him the most care, has left to travel. I felt sad that other children (and parents) won't benefit from her being there. The others were fab too but she was the one that left an imprint, if you know what I mean.
So as we head into Autumn I feel like we are getting nearer the closing chapters of 2010 and I hope that in 2011 we look back on the nightmare without the awful feelings of panic and horror that we still feel now.
Anyone with an i-phone can download a signs and symptoms app for meningitis now, free of charge. I have it on my i-pod. I think it's great but hope I never have to use it!
