My two month old niece was diagnosed with meningitis two days ago. The doctors performed a spinal tap to determine whether it was viral or bacterial. If it was bacterial she could have died or possibly had brain damage, hearing loss, or blindness. Thankfully it was viral and she is now home, smiling and laughing with her family.
I spent the night with my mother trying to keep her spirits up and sleeping in the place my recently deceased father slept so she could get some sleep. Not an easy task given how much I wanted to look out on the porch and see him there and not the box that holds his remaining ashes.
I thought there was a limit to the amount of tragedy that one family can go through like a limit one per every two weeks? But I guess we must be VIP with the big guy though because first it was a husband/ father and then a baby scare. We all got the memo that we need to be closer and are doing all that can be done to do that. How about some time to heal?
