(Deep breath)

OH admitted to hospital Thursday - because I made him go!!!- with pneumonia, taken a turn for worse, not sure if he will pull through.....

Can't cope......

Managed to cancel 1 mindee for Monday, can't get hold of other parents and really not able to do face-to-face at the moment without turning into a puffa fish Sad. Feel really bad about cancelling but can't possibly look after LO when cant look after myself. Would it be wrong to send a family member round to tell them? Have arranged cover with another cm child knows and has been minded by before.

Christ I feel shite!

On top of all this DS is 6 this wk and might not get to see daddy......

Sorry all, but at least you cant here me crying SadSad, phonecalls tonight to friends have ended in floods.

HE WILL BE HOME AT THE WEEKEND Grin Grin

Surgery went well and can believe the difference a day makes. Have to say when saw him in HDU yesterday I freaked a bit but the clouds have parted and the sun WILL shine tomorrow!!!!

Am so relieved and have learnt a valuable lesson - never EVER take those you love for granted. The thought that it would all be snatched away from me has made me reflect so hard on what I have and what is important - and that is my nearest and dearest, every time. In my darkest hours during the past few weeks I have drawn my strength from family, true friends and you wonderful people, even though I will never meet you in person.

Mumsnet is a wonderful way to gain support, hugs and advice - long may it continue Smile

LesbianMummy1 · 06/11/2010 09:38

sorry to hear he may need surgery but they would not be moving or operating on him if they had doubts it was in his best interests.

Hope ds had a great birthday thinking of you all.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 06/11/2010 09:05

sorry you are going through this hard time, thinking of you all!

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/11/2010 09:01

keep thinking positive thoughts - it must be a very scary time for you all ((HUGS))

least doctors know that he has empyema and can treat accordingly with surgery/drugs etc and good news hes being moved closer to you xx

nannynick · 06/11/2010 08:56

empyema is what the hospital thought my sister had at one stage. Fortunately she responded to the drugs and didn't need surgery. Surgery has risks so not surprised you are worried to death.
Keep looking on the positive side.
