My sister-in-law has been in Australia for the last 8 months or so and she was just admitted to a hospital in Perth with meningitis. They say that the first 48 hours are the most dangerous and she is at about 36 hours now since started on treatment. 1 in 10 diagnosed with meningitis don't make it, 1 in 5 have permanent disability.

We are all very worried and my mother-in-law is having a rough time. She is trying to get a flight out to Australia this week.

Any warm thoughts, prayers, or good vibes are appreciated.
