Minus all meningitis thoughts.The flu symptons were strong. 
 
Headache,burning fever and sore throat. So what does any natural 
 
mother do when their offspring takes ill. They smother him or her 
 
with a lot of TLC and would walk to the ends of the earth just to take 
 
away the pain and suffering.

Is a mother's love, medicine?

Despite all those motherly rituals mentioned above. There was no 
 
change in my nine year old son's condition. Meningitis still so 
 
distant in my thoughts..The lucozade was poured out in pints to quench 
 
his thirst and a saturated flannel to change every minute to wipe his 
 
brow. I prayed more times to god than that of any pope for my son to 
 
pull out of this other world he had elapsed into.

A mother's love is more of a cure than any cough medicines pills or 
 
tablets, so I thought..

Humming one of his favourite tunes as I held him up close in my arms 
 
rocking him back and too. 
 
Not even his favourite videos could pull him out of this alien world 
 
that he now belonged to

Was a mother's love? slowly killing her little boy.

Every mother's worst nightmare was to befall me with the inevitable 
 
happening. Purple like bruises began to appear on his chest followed 
 
by the loss of his voice.
 
With trembling hands I struggled to dial 999. Please god if your up 
 
there hear my prayers, let my little boy reach 10..

When the doctor arrived he said he couldnt rule out meningitis. And so 
 
my little boy was rushed off in an ambulance at a speed that would 
 
have given Nigel Mansell a run for his money. 
 
Thank god for flashing blue sirens.

In silence I prayed for god to give me back my son.

The curtain may well have been a brick wall that separated me and my 
 
little boy in the hospital. But he was in good hands I assured myself 
 
and that being the hands of god.

It seemed like a life time before that curtain came swishing back to 
 
have the doctor in his white coat appear before me. 
 
I gave him lucozade I wiped his brow. I even put on his favourite 
 
videos and smothered him with all the love I could possibly give. 
 
Where did I go wrong doctor? You did nothing wrong was his reply.

Just to hear those words that there was no cause for alarm and that my 
 
little boy was going to pull through, gave me back all the strength 
 
that seemed to have drained from my body while waiting for the outcome 
 
of this nightmare.

Meningitis symptons had a strong presence the doctor said. It was a 
 
virus on the inside trying to break out. 
 
Tears of happiness flowed like that of Niagra falls as I rushed to my 
 
little boys side.

Holding him tight kissing and cuddling him like any natural mother 
 
would do.

I had unfinished business to attend to and that was to thank the man 
 
himself up above for hearing my cry. Now to arrange a ten year olds 
 
birthday party.

The doctor approached me and asked if he could say something before I 
 
left.

Yes of course doctor? 
 
A mother's love is great medicine for comforting her children

but when it comes to curing them. please call a doctor.
