Meningitis has become a word that guarantees headlines in newspapers and priority in TV news reports. Every parent must have asked themselves about whether they would recognise the symptoms in their own children - and what is likely to happen if they were to contract the disease. Jenny Wilson gives a moving and graphic account of how her family coped with this illness in their baby son. Together with the Wilson family you will go through the cycles of fear and hope - from initial suspicions and diagnosis to coping with the results. This is a helpful book for anyone who wants to know what really happens when your child gets Meningitis. It includes a chapter explaining what Meningitis is and what parents should do if they suspect their child has developed it. "Jenny writes with both sensitivity and humour...Well worth reading." -- BD, CLC Book Reviews
