Everyone's prayers have been answered.

We are going to go see them on Tuesday, I am printing this out to go in Fletcher's baby book. He has a lot of wonderful honorary Aunts and Uncles on this board.

Thanks again everyone.

Most of the panic was the howling scream mixed with a very stiff 'soft spot' which usually is a strong sign of meningitis. Then the rash, which we don't know yet what caused.

That's wonderful news - really glad to hear it. Once the dust settles a bit and your family catches their breath, it may be worth contacting the patient relations dept. or the office of the patient advocate (not sure what process they have in Sask.) but seems like that hospital needs to clean up some of their processes.

It's not about blame, but if it can lead to positive change for the next little Fletcher that comes in...

I have Brit compiling notes, you bet there is going to be a complaint filed.
