My husband is very sick!

Last night my husband came down with a high fever of 103.7, stiff neck, shivering uncontrollably, severe back pain and a headache. I gave him ibuprofen and was able to get his temp back down to normal. It took 3-4 hours until he felt ok again. He woke up this morning having the same symptoms only he was really tired and I could barely get him to wake up. So I brought him to the hospital which is an hour away and the dr immediately was suspicious of meningitis after we told her his symptoms. After several tests and hours later the spinal fluid showed that he in fact has bacterial meningitis and has been admitted to the hospital. Normally we wouldn't ask for help because he would have vacation and sick days at work but he used those all up when his dad passed away in August. Right now we have no idea how long he is going to be in the hospital and off work with no pay. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
