I want to start this entry with a thank you...a thank you to every single medical person involved in Herb's recovery. I think this thought EVERY day but rarely voice it or write it down. The reason I am prompted to do this is the memory of being close to losing him has been dragged back to the forefront of my mind this week with the tragic loss of a friend's son in a car accident. I looked at Herbie and thought it probably felt like only yesterday that Jackie would have been watching her son Sid as a 1 yr old and now he's gone. Life is so fragile and the line so fine. My thoughts are with Jackie, David, Grant, Marshall & Hannah xxx
This week Herbs has been under the weather & by Tuesday he had a rash & seemed irritable. UGH...it's so worrying. By Friday he was better but the rash was worse so we called to see the Dr. Thank god the duty Dr was Dr Santos...the best GP ever. He is so thorough (even though at times he gives so much info it's scary). He printed a copy of Herbs blood culture results from the Meningitis and also a letter 'just incase' anything got worse to show the next dr who saw him explaining the importance of quick action. He reiterated that Herb's immune system will take a year to recover and gave me powdered amoxcillyn in case he needed immediate antibiotics over the weekend...he covers every base!
Herb's is rashy but happy. Dr S said it was a virus, Kitty has the same, sore throat, coldy symptoms. I am sure he will be fine but it's another wake up call to how ill he was earlier in the year. dr S commented on his fantastic recovery!
