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?

For all that we would change for you, we cannot, but let our love, thoughts and words be of some comfort to you and your family.

To know that all these people have their arms around you... Sad

It's all been said already, but so sorry to hear of your loss.

I promise Edgar that I will sponsor TSC's Dh as soon as I get paid. It's a wonderful thing to suggest. many eyars ago I briefly worked in an 9admin, no saint) role for Macmillan and am very aware of the good that ClicSargent do. We've also had leukaemia in our extended family so well aware of the efects of the illnesses, sadly.

I am so very, very sorry for you and your family.
I don't think we have ever posted on the same threads, and I am just a random stranger but I have been touched to tears.
You sound so loving and so strong, and your DS was clearly a wonderful little boy.
I have been thinking of you, holding my DC and feeling so thankful for all I have.
Words are useless, but I just wanted to post and let you know I am thinking of you all.
:(

CamperFan · 21/03/2011 12:10

pinkytheshrinky · 21/03/2011 13:15

I am so very sorry for you all.

Aims80 · 21/03/2011 13:43

So very sorry Edgar, I can't imagine what you're going through. Please remember all the good things about your beautiful baby boy.

A friend of mine lost her brother to a brain tumour and found this association enormously helpful in terms of emotional support, just in case here is their link.

He sounds like a fantastic and truly special boy.

Emmanana · 21/03/2011 14:58

Wow.
Just gone on to TSC DH fundraising site; over £600 been donated by Mumsnetters.

link here

What a special little lad to have inspired so many people to give so much to the charity in his name. I hope in time that Mr and Mrs Edgar see the fundraising page and can maybe take some comfort from seeing from how many hearts he has touched.

BaroqueAroundTheClock · 21/03/2011 15:01

I know Emmanana - it's incredible isn't it. I got the link of TSC on Friday night, though only went back to donate this morning (as was waiting for money in my account) I was amazed at how generous MNers had been in that time.

jamaisjedors · 21/03/2011 15:07

I totally missed this last week, and am shocked for you at the outcome of what seemed to be an ear problem.

I am so so sorry for your loss, it was so out of the blue, I am sure you are still reeling from it.

You sound so dignified, you are a very special family.

love

melezka · 21/03/2011 16:00

So sorry Edgar Family - was away from MN last week and missed the developments. We have never chatted on MN but I have read many of your posts - I'm so so sorry Sad

ALovelyBunchOfCoconuts · 21/03/2011 16:02

I am so so sorry. I have only just seen this thread.

Your family and your precious little boy will be in my thoughts, I will light a candle for him.

Love to you all.

kizzie · 21/03/2011 16:48

I am so very very sorry Sad.
Will of course make a donation as it seems like the only useful thing I can do.
Your dignity and love for your son just shine out in this thread. Thinking of you all x
