This beautiful little boy Zac, is in Temple St Hospital fighting meningitis. He's only 4 or so weeks old and he had only the mildest of symptoms on Sunday so his parents are totally shocked. He has had a brain scan today so they will know what type of meningitis it is tomorrow. If you can spare a moment to think of him and send him your prayers...
{UPDATE ON BABY ZAC- WEDNESDAY}
Zac is doing reasonably well today - at least he is responding. They have isolated the strain - pneumo coccal which is bacterial and therefore serious. From what I can gather the hospital staff are pleased with his progress. The next stage is to scan and identify how he has been affected if any. There's a high recovery rate with this particular strain but he still needs your prayers...
{Update on Baby Zac - a week later}
Thankfully Zac is doing really well this week. He is still in hospital but doing well on his antibiotics and his mum and dad hope to have him home next week. The great news is that his brain scan came back clear. Thanks for all the prayers...
Update 17th March'09
Yay for Zac - he got home last night and according to his mum you would never think he had been so sick this past few weeks. So happy for them! Miracles happen sometimes...
