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?

Edgar, DH Edgar, DD's & family/friends - I am so so very sorry :( (I have only just seen your thread.)

My heart is breaking for you and I can't stop crying... I know that doesn't help you, but I hope we are all helping you feel somewhat less 'alone' in your grief. It can be hard feeling like life is going on as normal for everyone else - how can it be when he isn't here anymore? But it isn't, your loss has reached many of us.

Mr Edgar - the time stretching out in front of you, without him, seems just too much to bear doesn't it :( it has changed your life forever in a unimaginable way, but you will - in time - learn to live alongside it. But for now, you don't have to be strong & brave all the time - you can come and chat to us when you are falling apart too.

I am so very sorry for all of you and send you lots of love and hugs xxx

So so sorry for your loss Edgar and Mr Edgar. Words can't express.
Thinking and praying for your family.

You've been in my thoughts constantly - I so wish I could say something useful and of course no one can. But your DS sounds wonderful - and I know you'll see that spirit and love and positivity again in your DDs. You sound like wonderful parents.

I am so so sorry Edgar- I genuinely don't have the words to express how sorry I am . Your DS sounds like such a wonderful boy, a lovely character, full of love for everyone. You were with him the whole time and gave him the best possible care that you could. Remember how many fish fingers you gave him, hold on to the memories of stroking him and holding him. It will have made a world of difference to your little boy. Oh Edgar x

upyourdiva · 20/03/2011 09:19

Mr & Mrs Edgar,

Like most I have never met you and have probably never even walked past you in the streets but I can't begin to say how sad I am for the loss of your sweet darling son and would love nothing more than to be able to sit with you, hug you and hold your hands listening whilst you speak, shout, scream and cry but as I can't I will continue to hold you in my thoughts.

The emotion in all your posts came through raw the worry, joy and pain shone through each one and particularly when you came back and told us that your son was gone.

I cried but smiled through the tears when you shared some of your lovely memories with us. Your son sounds like he was, and is still very special, the love and affection showered upon him which in turn he passed on to his sisters really is a wonderful thought and I hope these memories will help you through both the present and the future.

Thinking of you and your family today x

Just come across this thread.

It's heartbreaking. Words cannot really express anything right now. Am so very, very sorry for the loss of your DS. No family should ever have to go what you have been through.

Thinking of you all xxxx

LouMacca · 20/03/2011 10:27
