Hi my son had meningitis when he was 12 weeks old which has left him with cerebal palsy and epelepsy he is 6 years old now and though it was hard work it is worth it the only advice I can give is to treat him no diffrently than you would any other child his age do not make any allowance for any disabilitie he may have as kids pick up on this yes he may have to be pushed that little bit harder but with the right therapy he should lead a normal life good luck it is a hard road.You do,nt say where yyou are from in england they have a very good portage service which helps with mental development and lots of lights we used christmas tree lights they help to stimulate the mind. It may be worth getting his hearing tested and his eyesight. Did he suffer any seizures when he had meningitis?

It is a viral infection in the mengins in the brain and is 90% of the time fatal my boy was very lucky even with the problems it left him with.

ah I didn't want to ask what had happened before to one of the twins (incase it was none of my business). You, him and his twin are very lucky he's around!!!!!

we are very lucky he has stared death in the eyes 5 times in 6 years he is brilliant ( and he knows it :wink: )

hey I wanted to ask what their nickname (i know it's letters--lol) means!!!

well with them being twins we bought one got one free lol b.O.G.O.F

oh got it...

If I am correct, my bf had spinal menegitis (sp) when he was a baby and it left him w/ no hearing in his left ear. But as far as anything else, hes good. Helped me make two gorgeous lil boys.

Thank you all for sharing and for support. I am from macedonia not uk. Nice that your boy is doing fine! I like that he is a happy boy. If you ask me its soo important!
