Having said that there is no one else in his family with it.   I'm not really sure about a trigger, but my daughter had a stomach bug in February which led to pneumonia. My son had been fit and healthy right up to diagnosis.  I sometimes think it may have been triggered by MMR jab but it probably wasn't.  I know it won't help knowing, but it does bug me at times.  I also have another child aged 17 months so the worry is always there that she may get it.  I know there is nothing we can do to prevent that, but it is only natural as a parent to worry!  My sons starts school tomorrow so I'm now worrying about that too!!</blockquote>
