After 3 weeks of dealing with this hellish steroid treatment and the side effects I feel like I can't cope anymore. She's just screaming and screaming. Tomorrow she has an MRI booked to see if the steroids have damaged something. WTF?! They told me it wouldn't. so I ok'ed the treatment. What if she has a brain tumour?
I'm so tearful but can't break down because of my other kids. I catch a bus to the hospital at 8am, get back at 4 to deal with my boys. No-one here to talk to as DH is staying at the hozzie. My mum is old and deaf and all conversations with her are punctuated with 'what? pardon?' or her fucking barking dogs. In laws can't even be arsed to call to see how DD is. So I sit in doors every night and cry alone. I just can't cope anymore. There seems to be no support for parents going through this prolonged hospital stays and terrible treatment.
