Hi Michelle,
I'm so sorry to hear that your son may have meningitis. I have a cousin who got it a few yrs. ago and his short term memory went down hill fast. He was in his 60's when he got the virus and the Dr found out he got it from a flock of pigeons that were by his house. The pigeons had a bacteria in them and the fumes from the bacteria went around the outside of the house where my cousin breathed the odors in and then the meningitis started. He's also had a lot of neuro problems but thank goodness no sz. I wish you and your son the best of luck and May God Bless You Both!

Well with viral meningitis, its nothing really serious. Its kinda like an extreme version of the flu. Bacterial meningitis is definitely something to worry about though, but its not a bacterial infection that he's got. I wish they would figure out a way to treat/cure viral infections.

He's seeming to be a bit better today. More alert and active. He's having pain in his left shoulder and won't move that arm much. His back is bothering him quite a bit, but at least he's attempting to get up and walk around. I'm encouraging him to do so to at least try and stretch his muscles.

michelle,

I was thinking as I was reading this, that is does sound like mening.....it is very serious, my next door neighbor has this right now as has been in the hospital for over a week.....if you suspect he has this he needs to be seen by a doctor.

I hope he is doing better....
