Paul Burtchell Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) My wife picked up our oldest grandaughter, (she's 8), early from school yesterday because of a severe headache. She started feeling very nauseated so, my daughter spent the night at our house with her. At about 4:00am this morning she was vomiting severly and was extremely sensitive to lights in the room. We took her to the Emergency Room and they performed a spinal tap. Results so far have shown elevated white cell count. The Dr.'s believe it is viral meningitis but, they are treating for bacterial meningitis as well. She was just transferred to a private room. All your prayers are greatly needed and appreciated.
