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?

I sat and hugged all my boys for you this evening, Edgar: I told them about the little boy whose mummy coudln't hug him any more and how important it as not to waste a single chance to cuddle together.

I only wish there was anything useful to do: it seems so sad that in a world where we can walk in space and split atoms small beleoved children can be lost so quickly.

Mumsnet comes into it's own when people are coping with immense pain; know that around the world, thousands of women are thinking of you tonight.

i'm am so sorry, words are not enough xxxx

Escallonia · 18/03/2011 18:51

I am so very sorry. There are no words that can do justice to your situation and to the loss of your beautiful son. He sounds utterly wonderful, hold onto those thoughts of him and all that he has added to your lives, and how happy his own life was.

Thinking of you, your DH and all your family and sending you strength.

GORGEOUSX · 18/03/2011 19:02

Edgar St.Georges is an excellent hospital so at least you don't have to worry about that.

Like Bibbity, I too am a SAHM and live 1/2 hour away from the hospital. Don't hesitate to PM if you need anything.

GORGEOUSX · 18/03/2011 19:03

OMG - I've missed something. I'm so sorry.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 18/03/2011 19:05
