Poor baby!

My grandson has been really fussy for the past week. He started running a fever the last couple of days. My daughter took him to the ER Sunday and they sent him home saying he had a cold even though he had no cold symptons. Thank goodness we are not as stupid as that hospital. She took him to his doctor yesterday morning and he was concerned that his white blood count up indicating he had some type of infection. But nobody could figure out what was wrong. He sent us to the Children's hospital, where we sat for seven hours before being seen. He has menningitis. They don't know if is viral or bacterial yet. The hospital is so full, he is being kept in the ER. My daughter is so tired. I am exhausted. They said he will probably home in a few days. But it can take weeks to fully recover. The poor baby was poked around all day. He finally got so tired, he quit fighting and went to sleep. How does a three month old baby get menningitis? The only thing I can think of is that we went to a Christmas party a few weeks ago and there were alot of people. I will be so glad when this is over.
