    Help. My daughter in in Candelaria hospital with meningitis

    HELP feeling distraught , and helpless. My 5 week old granddaughter who was visiting us on holiday was taken to Candaleria hospital , she has meningitis. They were taken in yesterday Mum Dad and baby, the are in an isolation ward .Neither of them speak spanish. The baby is being breast fed, but my daughter was not provided or told where to get food so she has not eaten since yesterday morning. What can I do we are not allowed in to see them, and my spanish is not that good. They have been told they may be in for 12 days. We live in Torviscas and do not have a car, but could take bus up, but I dont know what we could do. Surely there must be some help in the hospital.

    You can download a google translator app to a smart phone that will allow you to speak English and the App will translate to Spanish for the Nurse and vice versa. This was recommended to a friend by a traffic policeman who stopped him. it worked well, worth a go. It works on text as well.

    I would think if its meningitis the baby would be put on a drip to feed. So please try not to worry about that.

    Thank you all for your kind wishes, we have managed to arrange a lift for Friday so can take change of clothes etc. Their insurance company has been really good with them,phoning and speaking to a nurse in spanish then translating for my daughter. So things are looking a bit brighter tonight.
