My ex SIL came over with her 4 month old tiny niece on Saturday. This baby - Mary was only born 4 lbs 11oz and is still very small. Today I was at Mum's house when Mum got a phone call from SIL.

Little Mary is in hospital with Bacterial Meningitis

This poor baby was in my home, I was cuddling her and I also had DP's family and his nieces over. My MIL was also cuddling little Mary. She has had a lumbar puncture and we are now waiting on the results to find out exactly what strain it it. My nieces who have spent alot of time with Mary over the last few days are on anti biotics already.

The infectious disease dept are in a meeting until 4 pm deciding what action will be taken. I also need to wait until they contact my mother to find out what I need to do with myself, my children and Mark's family.

Please keep little Mary in your prayers. The first 24 hours are critical for her and she is such a little bub.
