['Have you ever dealt with someone being really really sick?  A few years back, my husband was diagnosed with meningitis.  He had to be quarantined and we all had to take medication.']
Oh wow. No I've never had to deal with that before. I hope your husband is ok!
My husband ended up with meningitis a few years back.  Our church really rallyed around us, brought food, and helped out with the kids - I'm so glad we have a church that is a family.
