To feel like crying my eyes out???

[orangeflute]

Last night DS1 told me his side was hurting. I thought he might been feeling sore after rugby. He later told me that this pain was worse if he knocked or touched his testicles. I phoned his dad my exdh who said tell him to go lie down.So I rang my DH who came home from work. In the meantime I rang NHS direct who directed us to a&e. DH took him to a&e while I stayed home with other 4 children. DH got to hospital and exdh was there to meet him. They waited on diagnosis before DH came home and I went up to the hospital to be with my DS before and after surgery. I had to come home at 5 this morning to BF the baby. DH has just gone to work exdh has just texted saying DS is asking for me. I have no extended family and I want to be with my son. AIBU to feel like crying my eyes out???

Sirzy - not sure this would work as toddler is extremely active x

Youarewinning - thankyou xx

It was a genuine offer too. Not up to much today and your 2 year old would have played quite nicely with my 14 month old.

Your DS will be fine, he's probably eating toast and watching tv. Call the ward and insist on speaking to him or get them to pass a message on

Have a brew too OP

Call the ward and insist on speaking to him or get them to pass a message on

Good idea, or if he has a patientline TV phone him on that, or call his dads mobile.

If I was your next door neighbour I would take them for a bit so you could see your sick son. I once had to off load my kids onto someone I only vaguely knew while I accompanied DH to Hospital with Meningitus. Needs must sometimes.

hugs

How terrible.

O the bright side, your son is OK, He will get better, you can cry if you like, it will make you feel better.

Take all the kids and go see ds.

I was going to say the same as mummytime. If any of my friends - or in fact anyone I knew even slightly - asked me to help in this situation, I wouldn't hesitate. Any neighbours? School run acquaintances? You may be surprised who will help.

Have you talked to DS on the phone?
And if I understand it his father is with him, yes? - that's not to minimise your distress; of course you want to be there, and of course he'd like to see his mum, but if he has his father then everything is essentially fine.

ATruth - my best friend is at work and as my DS2 is ASD and seen as the naughty boy at school no one will touch us I am afraid xx

Anywhere near Sheffield Orange will help if can.

Take them all to he hospital with you
Then when you get there either let the I into playroom and let a nurse know or get them to play with a toy on the floor (as your son isn't wanting them crawling over his bed) while you talk to your son

Just go!

Ah charley thanks he's home now laid on sofa. So glad his little balls are saved xx

If you'rein London, I'll happily babysit if need be x

X-post, great news!
