get it out before she pops 2

Following on from aibu to take dd3 to a&e

Oh Mae I'm so pleased for you

I can only imagine what you're going through - fwiw I'd be worried too. But I'm so glad that you're being taken seriously.

If at a later stage you want to put in a complaint then I'm sure the MN collective will be able to help (I'll keep an eye open - I'm NHS looking at "when things go wrong", will help in any way I can)

Yeah. Get in there.

Brilliant news! Finally some answers.

Glad the consultant is making something happen. Hope the stay proves to be useful

I hope you get a bed very soon. Poor minimae. But I think knowing she's had the relevant tests will be a relief.

Was thinking earlier that I've never felt such an interest in a thread. My partner just asked for an update about your little girl - she was hospitalised at a similar age with something similar.
Good luck - the nation (and beyond) is behind you!!!

That's great news about the admission, sounds like your consultant is doing great now.
Also want to second what others are saying about how much stronger you sound, you sound like a different confident person.

Good news

So very pleased that MiniMae is finally getting the investigative attention she's needed from the start MiniMaeMae.
It's been a long time coming but it sounds like you will finally get some answers as to why this is happening.

It's a scary situation when you don't know what's going on with your little ones,going back and forth different doctors & feeling unsure of your instincts is an awful experience for any parent to go through but you've done a fantastic job throughout it all!

It might help to write down any questions you'd like to ask as they come to you,it's so easy to forget things through lack of sleep & weeks of going from pillar to post.

Keeping everything crossed that Minimae will get her bed in hospital soon & all this will be over & done with.

Just dropping in to offer another voice of support. I commented on your first post and have been following your story since.

I'm glad they are taking the matter seriously now, and I hope that you're not too fearful of the admission. That mothers instinct has got you to where you are and you have come so far from your first post full of worry for your daughter and fear that you were just being neurotic. Sometimes our own mental health just doesn't help us see things as clearly as we could but you have come so far at overcoming that.

I hope a bed comes up very soon for you, that minimae is free of poop and you get answers for how it got to this and how things are going to be managed going forward, a diagnosis and so on.

Your oldest will be more resilient than you realise. But when this is all over would probably appreciate some time just the two of you, even if she doesn't say it. It's tough being a sibling when one of them takes up so much of a parents time and it is important, in my experience, to acknowledge this and redress the balance somewhat.
Thinking of you and your family.

Just read both threads and am delighted to see your DD is being admitted. This is them accepting that she can't go on like this - compared to their previous attitude, that is massive progress. Well done for making it happen op!

Good luck, fab news about admission even though its scary.

Thank you for the lovely messages. I can't thank you enough for your kindness can't really talk to anyone in RL

I was being silly about going in, we are now looking forward to getting things sorted. it's going to be the best thing that's happened for her and we are a stones throw from the hospital, so we are really fortunate.

DP spoke to the doctor so I think I was just a bit shocked when he told me because I didn't think anything else was going to happen soon.
Will make sure we are very comfy with all that we need. Will download everything I possible can on Iplayer onto her tablet

Hopefully DD6 is back at school when it happens, to take her mind off things.

Best of luck a cause can be pinpointed.

How wonderful that soon you'll know what's been causing all of this for your DD and will have a treatment plan that will improve her (well the whole family's) quality of life.

Hmm. sorry to be gloomy but I wouldn't celebrate yet - calling it now that that tsunami was just what they call 'overflow' and the issue is not resolved yet by a long way

Lubey, it is being resolved to the extent that it is now being taken seriously which, only a short time ago, it wasn't!

Lubey- you might be right. There is not much going on that end. Literally nothing is happening

We have been called in this morning

Oh goodness! Best of luck to you both - keep us posted!

That's good news

Thank goodness. Have been almost where you are, and it's many years on, won't be 100% resolved for us for a long time, but 95% now so much more manageable and straightforward and not painful, either for my DD or me. So glad you're getting it sorted.

Excellent news, will keep everything crossed that your DD us feeling much more comfortable very soon, and that they figure out the underlying cause so that it doesn't happen to her again bless her

Hi de lurking to goo good luck. Hope you get the answers you need .

I've been following your thread right from the start and I'm so glad she's finally getting sorted.
