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

[EdgarAleNPie]

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?

Dearest Edgars,
What a truly gorgeous boy, and how you must all love him. I hope you will always feel he's never far away from you.
with lots of love to you all xxx

Yes, a gorgeous child, and more importantly, radiating joy. I hope you find the strength to get through this, as a family. You are in my thoughts.

link for donations once again

Dear Edgars,

You're very brave ... although I know you have no choice. The photos are heartbreakingly beautiful - what a lovely smiley boy.

Thinking of you with love.

A stunning little angel x

What a truly beautiful little boy. It is not right that he was taken so suddenly and cruelly from you. I hope one day you can think, without unbearable pain, of all the love he had and gave in his life. Wishing you all the strength in the world x

have posted several times already, have come back to say that the edgars are all still in my thoughts so much of the time. have now just seen the photos and shedding tears once again for a most beautiful, smiley, perfect little boy. once again, i am so very very sorry.

So sorry Edgar and Mr Edgar. It's utterly cruel and unfair, he looks so beautiful, full of life and promise. I can't begin to think how you will get through this, but I just want to say that you sound incredibly calm, loving and dignified and your DDs are so lucky to have the 2 of you.

Thinking of you

Edgars - I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts every single day. I know it seems like everyone else's life goes back to normal very quickly, whilst you are stuck in this hell on earth... but actually, it's not quite like that really... there are a lot of people who are here for you, who are thinking of you and who wish they could change what has happened. Please don't feel alone in your grief x

I don't know if you have seen it, but TSC's DP's 'Just Giving' page is up to about £3k now and a lot of that is in memory of DS x

Yes another Mner still thinking of you all and hoping you are doing as well as you can at this time x

THinking of you.

Just been and donated in your DS memory.

So very very sorry for your loss :(

I have only just come across this thread, and I am sat here in tears! I am so so sorry :( What a beautiful, smiley little boy x

I've only just come to this thread and I just wanted to add my voice to those who have offered their sympathies. Edgar your DS looks so adorable in those pictures and I am torn to bits to read that he is gone. I am in awe of the poise and grace that you and your DH have shown in such a difficult time and you, your DH and your children will be in my prayers.

TSC - have sponsored your DH. So amazing that he is doing that.

Another MNer just wanting to know that I am thinking of you.

Thank you for sharing his photos. What a beautiful little boy :)

I just wanted to say how very, very sorry I am to hear about your heartbreaking loss. What a beautiful, sunny little boy. Life can be so bloody unfair. Thinking of you.

thinking of you all, Mr and Mrs E, and your little girl and that beautiful boy.

You are on my mind a lot Edgar, I hope you are looking after yourself.

I don't know what to say... 'I'm sorry' just isn't enough. My ds2 is just a few weeks younger than your beautiful little boy... We were posting on pregnancy threads at the same time 2 years ago.

I'm holding him very tightly right now with tears flowing down my face at the thought of what's been stolen from you.

Have been thinking about you all weekend and I still cannot comprehend your loss. A couple of times today DS was pushing his luck, and instead of telling him off, I just hugged him as i was thinking of you. I may be sending him and DD slightly confusing messages for some time yet.

Just wanted to send you yet another virtual hug.

I've just seen the photos on MrEdgar's profile.

They honestly took my breath away. And I promptly burst into tears all over again.

How can a boy so happy, so beautiful be taken so cruelly from you.

Been thinking of you. Your story is so similar to my friend's. I have shared her this link, as she has said she'd like to message you (Her little boy died of a brain tumour a month after his second birthday). Both of you have lost a beautiful boy to a horrible disease, and I will raise money to try and find a cure for it until the day I die.

Here's another one carrying you in thought - was abroad last week and my thoughts were going out to you a lot.

I am not a regular poster but lurk a fair bit and have often seen you on threads Edgar.

I came to this thread late last night via another thread and my heart leapt into my throat when I read that you had lost your little boy, and with so little warning or time to prepare (not that having time to prepare would diminish any parent's grief, I realise). After reading the thread I went and stood outside and stared at the sky and wept for your loss and then I went upstairs and kissed and stroked my children.

I know my words can't change anything for you but I am thinking of you and your family. How can life be so very cruel?

I am so sorry for your loss.

Edgar, I've only just seen this thread and am sitting here with tears running down my face. I am so, so sorry for your loss.
