To need help to stay calm

[OhDoAdmitMrsDeVere]

In a&e with dc5. He has cracked his head. He is chirpy but I may lose control.
I do not cope well although I am the picture of calm.
This is my least favourite place int the whole world

They are going to think I did it to him if I do not compose myself

Oh Mrs D

big hugs, deep breaths, positive calming thoughts.

Oh dear, sorry to hear that, I hope he's ok.

At least you're in the best place where they can deal with it.

With you on the least favourite place thing that's for sure.

Lots of calm sent your way (((((hugs)))))

Why are they going to think that? Because you're worried and a bit hysterical because your son cracked his head?

What else is going on?

Hello, ive seen your posts and ofen admired what you have to say. Hope I'll do 'til the big guns get here...but "chirpy" says it all really. He'll be fine. Just good to get the 'ok' box ticked. Play some games to stop you focussing on negative stuff...guess whitch person will touch their nose first, who will be called next, what kind of an accident has that man had etc.
Keep breathing. You'll be home soon.

Hugs.

They're not going to think you did it. They're going to think you're a mum. A caring, scared mum who wants to look after her little boy.

I hope you get seen soon. Until then... breathe...

They will not think you did it to him.

All visits to hospital will not end badly, little boys are accident prone, and this is perfectly normal.

You are an incredibly brave and strong lady.

I'll hold your hand if you like

Awe, hope he is ok - he will be I am sure.

Deep breaths. Understandable that you feel panicky. Tell the nurse that you hate the place, hopefully she will be nice and understanding

Deep breaths. Sod them, stay calm for DC. If he's chirpy that's good. Hopefully a bit of glue and you'll be home in no time.

Hope he's OK - just think of home and a nice warm bed and cuddling up iwth him when you get him home.

Good luck - tell us how it goes. xx

They won't think that don't be daft, read your OP through the eyes of someone else. You'd tell them he'll be fine and you'll be fine wouldn't you? All will be ok. I know that hospitals must be horrendous for you because of what happened with your gorgeous daughter but that isn't happening this time. He is going to be FINE.

Oh Mrs D :(

Really hope you are ok. If you DS is chirpy I am sure he is just fine - plus you are at the hospital where they will take great care of him.

No one will think you did it. Just breathe breathe breath

And have a hug x

Hospitals? mrsd
You will be fine,you have faced far worse.
It means nothing,she is at peace.

Hope both you and he are ok. About if you just want to talk.

Cuddle him close and find one of his favourite songs to sing softly to him. I used to do that and it calmed me as well as DS.

Hugs.

Have they given you an estimated wait time?

Just tell the Senior A&E nurse why you are anxious and they will look after you both.

Big hugs, they wont think that at all, but we have all thought the same, that's just normal caring parent behaviour. Xx

Have a quiet word with a nurse about why you don't cope so well. He will be OK. Boys do this sort of thing all the time. It will be an extra scar to show his girlfriends in the future :)

Playing games and singing is good.

Hope you get seen quickly and are home very soon. x

They won't think you did it. It's natural to be edgy, those places don't set you up to feel comfortable. I had a month when the DSs were in A&E 3 times for different reasons. Infected splinter in foot that our GP refused to remove, bus crash (badly bruised heads and chins) then finally mystery stomach problem. I swore they'd be coming for me but they never did.

I hope you've eaten/drunk something. If he's chirpy and hasn't gone woozy or vomited or anything I'm sure he's fine.

Sorry I seem to have started two threads I didn't mean to god I can't tell u how much I hate this place

And YY to letting them know how you feel.

Two threads are good - you can flick between them and we'll keep posting so you don't sit with nothing to do. Hope you aren't following Britain's got very limited and tedious talent.
