DS really need a hand hold

[NotSoThinLizzy]

I posted here before about my DS wierd bruise under his armpit went to a n e and they checked him over no problems. Got a call of the gp today asking us to go in checked him over and she's not happy with it. we've got to get a blood test done and going to the main hospital 112 miles away. They are going to be checking for leukaemia and blood disorders. I'm fucking shitting it. Thinking the worst of the worse. Waiting on phone call to tell us when to go hopefully today possibly tomorrow....

Hope you get positive news

When I was about 17 I woke up one day with large patches of bruises all over my legs. They weren’t painful and I hadn’t done anything to cause bruises. I looked like a black and white cow with such huge patchy bruises!
I had some tests and everything came back clear. I have no idea what it was!

In waiting room to be seen hopefully it won't take long. Thank you again everyone

That's good. Have they said how long you'll need to wait for results?

Thinking of you OP, my DS is a cancer sufferer, hope you get positive news

Thinking of you.

Thinking of you and hoping for the best.

I can almost guarantee you it's from picking him up if he's 14 months, we went through this with ds when he was around the same age. It took months before we made the connection but it was terrifying. Ds was a little chunker and I assume his weight contributing to me holding him a bit odd whw. I picked him up. Stopped picking him up under the arms (let him climb up himself if he wanted to be held or lifted) and the bruises stopped

I hope everything's OK. I'm so glad they're seeing him so quickly.

Just checking in, OP.

Really hoping it's nothing serious!! Sending hugs xx

I carry a particular trait of a blood disease which results in bruising and abnormally shaped blood cells. Hopefully it’s something harmless.

Thinking of you xx

Still in waiting room. He has magic cream on and I didn't ask how long results will be

They've not taken blood yet

Thinking of you OP. Hope everything is okay.

Thinking of you op. Hopefully you will have answers soon.

I never want to do that again 😭 my heart broke for him. Get result tomorrow

My son had bloods taken at 2 years old, they couldn't get a vein and he was literally pinned down. It was horrific.

Seeing love op

Oh dear

At least it's done. Now to get past tomorrow!

Please let us know the result OP.

Hi OP, hope you are both ok now, I was in the same situation when DS was 2.5 and it was so hard. You need a really skilled person to get blood from those tiny veins.

It turned out that he had a very low platelet count,and after a few days in hospital and a transfusion he made a full recovery. He is 18 now and is perfectly healthy.

Fingers crossed for you

They put the numbing cream on him but ended up taking blood where he wasn't numb 🙄 but they got it on 1st try so I'm thankful for that. He won't let me out of his sight now

Oh bless his little heart. Poor you and him. wishing you all the very best for tomorrow.

Oh it’s horrible. Keeping everything crossed it’s just a bruise.
