Meningitis scare
ugh, our pt nanny just called. Her DH has meningitis, she babysat today. They are at the hospital now waiting to find out if it's viral or bacterial. DS hasn't really shown any of the symptoms, except for a couple that I had chalked up to some serious teething - he was a little warm earlier in the evening, but isn't now, and woke up about 90 minutes ago and hasn't yet gone back to sleep. (The waking up around now is normal, but usually I just nurse him back to sleep fairly quickly). He's up to date on his Hib and PCV vacs. He went to bed about 30 minutes early, but did the same yesterday. He ate a pretty good dinner and has nursed a ton. I really feel like his issues are teething things, but obviously I don't want to realize in hindsight there was something I should have noticed.
I'm trying not to freak out since we don't know if it's contagious or not. I don't *think* there's anything I can do other than keep an eye on our DS and wait to hear from our nanny, right?
