doctor appt friday for DS (sicky, off-balance, bad ears)

1000 replies

EdgarAleNPie · 23/02/2011 18:15

right - he's had an anti-biotic ear spray for two weeks. he has been particularly sick the past week so its doing bugger all

my plan for friday is to ask

-for heavy oral anti-bs to realy kick the infection (if it is bacterial, as if its in the inner ear an exterior spray won't touch it).
-for a referral to a paediatrician (which i can always cancel if he gets better before it coes through)

  • anti-emetics/ anti nausea pills? he's been keeping very little food down. quite thin.

how does that sound for a plan?

he already saw audiology, they said 'yes, there's fluid in his ear.' is there any point in seeing them again?

He's now been down with this since November. Gone from running and kicking a ball to staggering around the house and falling over. can't manage more than a few yards without support.

ok, any thoughts?

your boy sounds wonderful - such a strong character, adn thse memories are indeed fabulous ones.

I am so very sorry, thinking of you all.

Buda · 18/03/2011 15:32

Edgar I can't stop thinking of you. Have shed a lot of tears. Cannot imagine how you are coping but I really hope that you gain some comfort from the support on here.

On a practical level is there anything that we can do? I am a bit far away but I know there are lots of MNers closer to you.

trulymadlydeeply · 18/03/2011 15:35

Such a shocking and devastating turn of events. I'm so very sorry, Edgar. Massive hugs to you, your DH and your DDs. Will be thinking of you with much love.

awful. will be thinking of you all and praying for you

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 18/03/2011 15:50

I don't quite know what to say Edgar .... and I have been in your shoes.

I'm so so sorry. Your ds didn't deserve this, and neither did you, your dh or your dc.

I'm glad you were there when he passed away, he would have known you were there.

I imagine the flashbacks are pretty horrendous at the moment, but they will get better I promise.

When/if you feel ready please come and chat or lurk on the bereaved mums thread. At least one of us will hae been through every emotion you are feeling right now. It can be a hard place to come to because it means admitting you are now a member of our club, but we're there whenever you need us.

I'll be lighting a candle for your ds tonight and wishing him a safe and peaceful journey xxx

CaptainNancy · 18/03/2011 15:58

Edgar- I am so so sorry. There aren't any words... (am Jan 09er) please take care.

Much, much love x

Imnotaslimjim · 18/03/2011 16:17

I've just sat and read this thread from the start, and like silverfrog I as agreeing with the advice given. I was shocked to read it was a tumour, but was over the moon when he come through the operation adn was sat eating his cake!

I'm so so sorry to hear of your sad loss. I can't say I know how you feel and I have no words to make it better. I just wanted you to know there is one more person thinking of you at this horrifically sad time

TotalChaos · 18/03/2011 16:24

So very sorry about your little boy.

FourFortyFour · 18/03/2011 16:32

Oh Edgar Sad.

I had this in my threads but hadn't read or posted for a couple of days then I saw it said bereavement and assumed it was an error.

I am so so sorry for you all.

We haven't come across each other on here I don't think but as a mum I am so sorry for your loss. What a shock for you all. I just want to say if you want anything, anything at all, I will do my best to give you to you. I only wish I could give you what you really want SadSad.
