We are going through a serious emergency with my youngest grandson, please pray. His name is Cameron.Waiting on test results.UpDate below-sorry I am on phone and posted in wrong place.UPDATE 08-08-14 FRIDAY- Culture was not growing, so not bacterial meningitis, so that is good because that is the worse one. It is viral but they don't know which one. They tested for the most common viral one and it wasn't that one. The dr said this morning they would take him off the IV fluids and see how he did, if he didn't throw up or have fever guess he would have been released. Well, while the dr was still in the room, he started throwing up again. He was sick one other time, so they kept him another day. Good. He says he gets sick when his head hurts so much. He is only 7, did I say that already, IDK.-We will see if there is an improvement tomorrow. Hope so.Thanks for continued thoughts and prayers. Posting a photo in hospital, the one with Nora was just about 2 weeks ago. SUNDAY THE 10TH- Cam is home! He came home late yesterday. He still has headaches, that may last up to two weeks total, and when they get bad, thats when he gets sick. They did send him home with med for nausea and for headaches, he takes motrin alternating with tylenol. Other than that he just needs to stay hydrated, drinking plenty fluids. He was so happy to get home and play with his things, they had a hard time getting him to bed last night.-lol- that is a good sign.Thank you ALL for your thoughts and prayers. Unless there is a set back, I won't have to update,he should get well.He seems very normal, answering questions appropriately. We are very grateful for answered prayer.-Toogie

Oh my goodness!!! I will keep him in my prayers too. I hope and pray he's okay and no damage. How scarey!!!! My oldest was put in the hospital when he was 2 for probable meningitis. They gave him shots every day in his little legs and kept him in the hospital a few days. He had fever and his soft spot on his head was swollen. Other than that no other symptoms, he got over it, but we were sure scared for him. He's 39 now, technology has improved much since then. I will be thinking about you all and hoping for the best Toogie. Hugs, sharon

Oh! my goodness Toogie, what an absolute shock for Cam's parents. I do so pray that there is no permanent brain damage and that everything will be o.k. with him. God bless all your family, love and blessings Chris.

P.S. I'll add this little angel to my prayer list.

Toogie, Bless your heart. No, really, bless your heart. I'm sure you felt it pause a couple of times in all this. Kids are resilient, grands are not. Take care of you now that the worst is over. Praying for Cameron, his family and you.

Oh no, I hope he gets better very soon. He looks like a sweet boy, he should not be in a hospital bed. God be with all of you and give all the doctors the skills to make him better.

Just reading your updates. I hope he is feeling a bit better by now. It was good that the Dr was on hand when he was sick again to know for himself what is going on. Sending up prayers for a solution to be found.

It IS viral meningitis, not the most common form of viral, but one of the other viral ones. It is still a serious situation, but thank God, not the bacterial one.

This is such wonderful news Toogie and I hope they find out what is causing these headaches. I hope they've done a scan to check for any possibility. Love Chris

The headaches are caused by the viral meniginitis. It is a virus in the spinal fluid, surrounding the brain, and in the spine.
by jrob 11 Aug 2014
Thank goodness they have determined what it is and now to make sure he gets good nutrition, plenty of fluids and rest so that his little body can fight this.

He has had a headache since yesterday, so mom called hospital. They said give him 1/2 teaspoon more than she was giving. Haven't heard from them since she did this. Don't want to call in case they are sleeping.
