Life truly sux sometimes! *loss*

I found out yesterday that one of the babies from my mother's group died on Sunday from a rare strain of meningitis. He had turned 1 in October. I had spoken to his mum last Wednesday when she rang to say they wouldn't be at mother's group last week because he had a temp of 39.5 that she couldn't bring down. At that point she had taken him to two doctors who told her it was a virus and there was nothing they could do and she had been to the children's hospital when they sent her home and told her to keep up fluids and panadol.

He had a seizure Sunday morning and was admitted to hospital where he had another seizure and died in his mum's arms.

My heart is breaking for my friend. I don't know what to do or say. It all seems so inadequate. I spent yesterday evening calling all the other girls to let them know. Such a horrible conversation to have. We are all in such shock.

He was a lovely little boy.

Oh hun I'm so so sorry :hug:.
I guess just being there for her is all you can do.
How horrible for her, for you all!

Oh no. That is heart breaking and so traumatic for you and all your mothers' group and of course the family.

It is just tragic isn't it. Sending you lots of hugs.

Oh my goodness :( what a horrible shock!!! That poor mother :(

Could maybe all of the mothers group put in for flowers? Or cook her up a few meals for the family?

It's so hard to know what to do :hug: being a friend for her is the most important thing.

I agree with suggestion of cooking up meals and dropping over to family, and also just dome general things bread milk fruit and snacks.

Yeah, I'm going to drop by some meals this afternoon. Thanks Feeb for the suggestion of some basic groceries as well. We are going to put in to have a star named for him.
