[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just read a few posts mentioning the tragedy of losing a baby and a couple posts mentioned meningitis losses. Whenever meningitis comes up I share our experience with a 17 month old who had a fever, clearly felt sick, but had no other symptoms. We took her to her Ped as we had with many other flus and viruses and heard the same things we always did. But then our Ped said something I'd never heard before: "Make sure she can move her head up and down. If she can't move her neck you need to call." ... We had never heard of a stiff neck being a symptom of this, and are forever grateful to our fab Ped (we miss her since moving to DC!) for noting how extra miserable our DD seemed and throwing in the detail about her neck. [/quote] Chances are good that your child's pediatrician lost a patient due to meningitis.[/quote]
