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've seen the photos too ... such a beautiful wee lad :(

Am so so sorry. My thought and prayers are with you and your family x

Emmanana, there are some beautiful photos on EdgarismyDW's profile page.

What a truly gorgeous little boy. With a smile to match.

Thank you for sharing his pictures.

I am thinking of you all still. It doesn't seem to be enough, but I am thinking of you all, everyday and hugging my dc's more than ever.

winnybella · 22/03/2011 22:41

So very sorry.
Beautiful little boy.
Wishing you all the strength to get through this x

Emmanana · 22/03/2011 22:43

What a gorgeous happy child.
I'm amazed at the anount of money people have given in his memory. I hope in time Mr and Mrs Edgar gain some comfort from the way their beautiful boy has reached out and touched so many people. What a bright shining little star he is.
God bless you Little Leo xxxx

bristolcities · 22/03/2011 22:48

He is beautiful truly beautiful. The pictures have really knocked me for six. I don't know what to say. Again I'm so so sorry for your loss. You have not left my thoughts for days and I have really taken your message to heart. xxx

cloudydays · 22/03/2011 22:55

Just dropping in again to say that you haven't left my thoughts either. I just saw the pictures - Leo looks like a such a happy boy. He is adorable.

I'm grateful to you for 'sharing' him with us - I haven't stopped thinking of him (and know that I won't, for a very long time) and it is lovely to know his name and see what he looked like.

I hope that you can feel all the love and prayers/good wishes for strength and peace that are flowing your way.

Thank you for showing us those pictures. I will be honest and say they knocked the stuffing out of me. What a beautiful, vibrant little boy. The loss of him from the world is inexplicable.

I'm so so sorry.

I'll always think of Leo when I see tulips. They look like cheerful balloons bobbing about on green strings. I read he loved balloons. He looks so cheerful in the pictures and they are such spring time flowers.

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 22/03/2011 23:07

Edgar and Mr Edgar, I have just seen the photos of your DS, what a beautiful little boy. I wish I could express how sorry I am but words just don't cut it.

helibee · 22/03/2011 23:44

Edgar and Mr Edgar, what a beautiful wee boy. Today my ds (age 3) planted a sunflower for Leo as he said they are happy flowers and they have to make you smile.

Thank you for sharing his cheeky smile! I wish I had the words to make things better or to express how deeply sorry I am that you have lost your wee boy. Our loss is truly heavens gain, he is the brightest star tonight x

Am36butfeel66 · 23/03/2011 00:21

Thank you for sharing with us those precious photos of Leo. His smile melted my heart. I just wanted to let you know that you are all still in my thoughts and prayers.

Baffledandbewildered · 23/03/2011 00:24

I am so sorry for you all I've just read this thread with horror and pain at the horrific outcome of what seemed so harmless. In the morning I will be hugging all my children extra hard and thinking of your family. I am so sorry xxxxxxxx

Ponders · 23/03/2011 00:36

Oh good lord, what a beautiful beautiful smiley boy - thank you so much for sharing the photos, Mr & Mrs Edgar, but god, seeing them reinforces so much what an enormous & agonising loss this is for you all.

I am still looking back at Edgar's first post & finding it impossible to believe how quickly it all happened.

Love & sympathy to you all.

hazeyjane · 23/03/2011 09:13

Had not seen any of this.

Sat up last night with poorly ds, and read thread in stunned silence.

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. Sending all my thoughts and love to you and your lovely family.

DaftApeth · 23/03/2011 09:29

Such a scrumptious, scrumptious boy. My thoughts are still with you all x

shabbapinkfrog · 23/03/2011 10:43

What a beautiful little man. Similar age to my grandson. Thank you for sharing his smile with us. Wondering how you are doing, but not wanting to intrude. Sending my love xx

SlightlyJaded · 23/03/2011 10:47

Beautiful beautiful boy. Thank you for sharing the pictures with us.

He has truly touched all our hearts so deeply. Every time I revisit this thread I read something or see something that makes me cry.

You seem like wonderful people who should not have to endure this pain and my heart is broken for you.

Take care of each other xxx

StillSquiffy · 23/03/2011 10:48
