I was born in 1960 Rh Incompatible, resulting in being born with Rh Disease.  I myself have one child, now a grown daughter.  When she was 3 years old she came down with the deadly, Bacterial Meningitis.   My daughter survived, but was left with some personality changes.  Up until a couple of years ago, I had never researched Bacterial Meningitis but when I did, I was stunned to learn something.  I learned that children of RH Disease Survivors have a higher incidence of Bacterial Meningitis.  Now, this brings up the question of our own children's health.  

There's been so little said to us from our doctor's about our own health, which has lead  us to be doing our own research.  Now, we have something else to research.  Rh Disease Survivors and their own children's health.  

Have any of your children had Bacterial Meningitis?  Have any of your children had any condition that you later discovered your previous Rh Disease contributed to?
