@ZDR1113 I am so sorry to here about your loss. My heart goes out to you! You are a strong person simply by talking about what happened. I wish you and your family all the best. Your son is watching you and I know he is in a happy place.

My 2 year old son just lost his life to pneumococcal meningitis on October 26 2010. It was very sudden an unexpected. He got sick on Monday the 25th and had a positive flu test at the Dr. so thats what we thought it was. On tuesday the 26th he wasnt better so his dr. admitted him. he was admitted at 3pm had a seizure at 5:30 and just got worse and quit breathing and passed away at 7:34pm. Its been horrible. . We had no idea that this could work so fast...we just thought it was the flu....

Reading all these comments and seeing this video makes me realize how lucky i am that i survived this disease when i was 7 it was bacterial gladly i didnt die although i lost my hearing and use a cochlear implant sometimes it annoys me ALOT but i do thank God for giving me the opportunity to hear again but now seeing this and i realize how very lucky i am that i survived nobody should have to go thru this ever its not safe and its very scary

I had meningitis when I was three, as a result of an accident. I did survive, but I wasn't the same afterwards - I became very nervous whereas I used to be very outgoing. I think it's important to raise awareness of the disease, not just of the physical symptoms - which can strike very quickly - but also the psychological effects it can have on its victims. Thank you for this video It was well thought out.

I was 2 and a half when I had Bacterial meningitis... I had a complete personality change.

Also my vision and hearing is bad, as well as being slightly behind in my learning ability.

I'm so grateful to the Doctors that saved my life!!! and the never ending supply of Icy-poles the Hospital had :D
