Hello everyone,
my one and only grandchild, little Jacob--only one month old-- died on May 16th. He got Strep B from my daughter when he was born and the dr.s said it turned into Meningitis. Has anyone else had this experience or knows about strep B Meningitis? We are devastated and will probably never recover from this loss.
