DD in hospital.Appendicitis [sad]

[supermama212]

Hi all. DD is in hospital with appendicitis :(.
i know that you cannot really do anything. But i feel alone as am a single mum and she is my only child.
Also as it was all so quick , what shall i take for her??

I never updated! she came home on friday. is back at school next monday. DR told me if i hadn`t got her in when i did she might be no longer here
Back to typical teen autopilot whingy self!

Thanks for the update supermama , so glad all is fine

Oh glad things turned out fine xx

I'm glad she is well again. I'm a bit that you weren't allowed to stay with her though. At our local children's hospital (Sheffield) the nurses prefer it if parents stay because it makes their job easier.

bun i thought that if i stayed it would make it easier. in the end i said " it is my child and i want to stay here. the doh website says until the age of 18 it is my opinion" i stayed :o

She was so unwell - its hard to see your child like that

Glad you have her home and pleased that you stood up to them and stayed. Well done you

i didnt know i had it in me! its me thats ill now! im in hospital!!

oh no, poor you. What a month you have had!!

what a horrific month! elf is this your xmas nn? i have a kidney infection and i have a thread in general health - i feel illl all the time

Oh yes, you can feel so rotten with that. No personal experience but my sis suffers. Yes, this is my Xmas nn, I'm normally LadyInPink, sorry for the confusion.

I hope you get it cleared up soon and ongoing help for feeling ill all the time.

elf i recognized you!
im in hospital now :( :(
Dr. seems to enjoy me wincing in pain when they insert drip grrrr
its a kidney infection and uti

I'm so sorry you are suffering It won't be long and you can write this year off ready to start a brand new healthy one

I hope you are home soon and have a lovely Christmas x

i am counting down the days!! i am home tomorrow anyway. then off work for a week ( i then am on holiday so no work for 3 week)

am home and recovering well (ish) if feel ill at all like i have done go back and quote his name and i will see him asap

Glad you are home. Stay well and rest loads. Thinking of you

thank u elf! DD is fine - going to have stitches out tomorrow. and review of antibiotics and school return day

I had dissolvable stitches but a couple of them buried down into my skin and i got an infection so it's just as well your DD had normal ones. She probably won't go back to school now before the Christmas break will she? There is so many colds around it may be as well if she stays away as she is recovering from an op.

I hope you both have a great Christmas and a muich healthier New year

i dont know - she is maybe going back on monday but it depends on DRs opinion - i want her back at school as she has missed over 3 weeks - she was off with a broken toe just before she had to go into hospital.
would it be a good idea to keep her off until after xmas hols? a week may not be worth it. and yes a healthier new year is what i want - its top of my xmas wish list x

I doubt they will be doing any proper work at school in the last week. I guess it depends, do you have snow? See what the Dr suggests and take your lead from him. Maybe she could go in the last couple of days just to give out her xmas cards if nothing else

i know but she wants to - if he says she can/ or its her choice shall i let her?

Sorry mama took DD to her choir engagement this evening and only just seen yr post.

Yes, if Dr says it's fine and she wants to then it will be fine. You may get some good resting done if you have the house to yourself too

he says yes! she is starting tomorrow but no PE until after holidays, she is glad to be going back. i am glad to see the back of her! i have enjoyed having 1 to 1 time with DD but its time she went

Glad you got the green light from the Dr. You need to indulge yourself now and really recoup while DD is at school. Take it easy x

i will recoup as much as i can - got all xmas stuff to do!!!!!!

Write a list and put all the 'must do' stuff at the top and the 'it can wait a bit' stuff under and just do what needs doing essentially first and take it from there. To be fair as your DD is a teenager she may want to wait for her big present after the sales start to get more for her money (if you buy her clothes that is) so present buying may not be essential. Your DD can decorate the house (she will probably really love doing it) while you lie and watch her so definitely take it easy.
