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....

Holding your child still while they endure a medical procedure is one of the hardest things a mum can ever do.

Fingers crossed for a result that brings an easy-to-fix explanation for the bruising.

We are all rooting for you ❤️

I hope everything turns out well

Fingers crossed

Thinking of you x

Keeping everything crossed for you and your DS

Oh God how terrifying! I hope the results come out ok, big hugs to you both xx

Got everything crossed for you OP.

Is it possible that DP is minimising it all because he's scared and doesn't want to admit it/worry you further etc?

I really hope your ds is ok. You are in my thoughts.

He will forget it long before you will

I hope your DS is okay OP, my fingers are crossed for you. x

So just got home and there was a police man waiting social has been involved. More stress fanfuckingtastic

What? Why?

Is that because of his bruise?

What on earth!?

Yeah because of his bruise. Think gp is just trying to cover her was really. We had a chat and I don't know what's going to happen next.

Oh good grief.

Sorry to hear about your DS. I'm also sorry to hear about the referral, GP is following procedure exactly as she should. It's a typical area where a 'grab type bruise' would appear. Try not to worry too much about their involvement. Wishing DS well. Hope you manage to get some rest tonight

Blimey! So stressful for you! Big hugs x

Thinking of you Op and hope the results all clear xx

I'm assuming the blood results came back negative then, which at least is something positive? I'm sorry you had the added stress of the police being there- that would have been horrible, but I can't imagine they will want to see you past the initial interview at the hospital?

Did they not tell you they were making a referral?

Lots of love 💕

Sorry, why was there a police officer with social services? I'm a PC and have never heard of this unless we are taking the child into immediate police protective custody. How is the little mite feeling now? Hope you get the results soon.

OP I didn't see your previous thread so apologies if I've missed things, but if a child is non mobile and has a bruise that isn't easily explained then its standard practice that social services and police are made aware so that they can discuss and agree next steps. That doesn't neccesarily mean there will be a role for police and social services but it's something that has to be a joint professional decision, not just left to medics on their own. That said it is unusual to find a policeman waiting to talk to you and I'm sorry it's happened in that way.

Results arnt even in yet and trust me DS is mobile as in running and climbing things. I didn't write clear it was one police man that the social has contacted to come round by himself. The social themselves wasn't here just him.
