C0C258AC-B866-4F23-8772-9E74A0040D31.jpeg Caleb is only 9 days old and is in hospital with suspected Sepsis. I’m so frightened. He’s been tested for Meningitis (4 lumbar punctures before it worked) and it’s looking like it’s not that. He was showing signs of being affected with Group B Strep after birth but they decided not to test him and discharged him. My daughter kept asking the community midwives for help but they kept dismissing her concerns.

Please pray for my precious grandbaby. I can’t bear this.
 
I'm so sorry Maisie. Prayers outgoing - for your daughter and little one, their medical team. And for you!
 
Maisie, my heart goes out to you. Will keep precious little Caleb in my prayers.
Sending you and your family healing thoughts and tons of PS dust!!!

Poor Caleb, that is a rough start to life. Once he is on the correct antibiotics I’m sure he will do very well. Look after yourself and your daughter while the meds do their work. Thinking of you all.
 
I’m so very sorry Maisie. Sending lots of dust to little Caleb and family that he receives the best care and is on the mend soon (((hugs))).
 
Sending healing thoughts, he’s so beautiful
 
Indeed I will pray for you and Caleb and your daughter, Maisie. You have not had an easy time with your children's health. I remember when your son was young and having problems. Please keep us posted.

Big hugs,
Deb
 
He is absolutely beautiful. I hope he gets well soon. I'm so sorry.
 
Lots of healing dust for your family @Maisie ♥ Very upsetting to hear what your grandson is going through and at such a young age:cry:
 
He is so beautiful. I hope he will be ok and this is just a little set back.
 
Aww, what a beautiful boy and a sad story. I will be sending healing and warm vibes to your family and grandson. I truly hope he is on his way to a speedy recovery.
 
Hi Maisie - I'm so sorry for the stress you are enduring. You and Caleb are in my thoughts.
 
Thank you so much everyone. I’m so grateful for your kind thoughts. It’s so hard to see such a little one suffering. I would change places in a heartbeat.
 
Oh Maisie, I am so sorry for you and your family. I will keep you all in my prayers!
 
Praying for Caleb! Please let us know how he is doing. Hugs.
 
Maisie, do they have him in the hospital? Sepsis requires intravenous antibiotics.. I may be missing something. I send you healing dust... Your grandsons are perfect.

Yes he’s in hospital. He was transferred from their local hospital to a larger one with a special care unit. He is having antibiotics and fluids intravenously. He’s had blood tests, lumbar punctures, a chest X-ray (clear) and a urine test (also clear).
 
Maisie, I'm so sorry! Lifting sweet Caleb up in prayer and hoping the doctors figure out what's wrong asap and can get him on the path to healing.
 
Maisie, I’m so sorry to hear this! A couple we know through friends had a baby in April. He fell ill the day they brought him home and it turned out to be sepsis. He spent a week in the hospital but is doing great now. I think the key is prompt treatment.

Here’s to a speedy recovery!
 
My word, lets pray for that dear Calab gets well & is home soon with his family.
 
Sending up prayers for your sweet little Calab! BIG HUGS to you @Maisie Such a beautiful little one and big bro too!
 
HI Maisie,

He is beautiful. He is in my prayers.
 
Prayers outgoing - he is precious Maisie! Surely with proper treatment he will survive and thrive!
 
So sorry to hear this....my thoughts and prayers are with you. Such precious little boys!! :::hugs:::
 
What a gorgeous little boy, I'm so sorry that this has happened to your family, lots of healing dust and positive thoughts being sent!!!!
 
Maisie
Big HUGS and dust for Caleb and your daughter. He will be fine!
 
Oh @Maisie I hope your grandson gets well soon. Prayers for him and your family.
 
I’m so sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers for strength and healing!
 
Praying for sweet and precious Caleb and your family as you get through this.
