get it out! thread 3

[littlemaemae]

I have moved this to child health board as I don't think aibu is appropriate anymore.
What began as a quick question has become 2 now 3
The support on these threads has highlighted the best qualities of mumsnet and I am so grateful to every lovely person who has supported me so far!

Poor wee thong, and poor you - having a child in hospital is so hard.
Glad they are taking it seriously.

Sorry, poor wee thing not thong

Can't believe you are still having to go through this. Poor little love.

They are only just starting to monitor her kidney output now ??

Good to hear she had a better night littlemae. If her tummy now is no better than the pictures you showed us, I wonder why your GP wasn't using language like 'grossly distended'? As I remember it, you were posting saying 'is this normal'? It was obviously never normal, and a HCP should have said so a long time ago.

So two more days of prep to go? It would be great if they could give you a plan for next week so you could make arrangements. It may be that you move to Leicester on Monday, but I would hope they have started planning the move by now, as it's the weekend. I'm pretty sure they will say 'let's wait and see how the next two days go'

I can't believe this is still unresolved! I hope that the successful resolution to this is in sight.

I can only imagine how terrified and exhausted you all are.

Wrt the term "grossly distended" that may very well be a medical classification, rather than an emotional one.

When my son got burnt, 13% of his body, the worst thing I have ever seen, they described it as superficial.

Superficial to us in everyday life appears inconsequential/not something to the seriously at all. But of course once I'd got over my initial shock I realise they meant surface and thankfully only to the top layer of skin.

You're in a good place, it may be that you need to go somewhere better, but at least finally you're on somebody's radar.

I'm glad to read that littlemae is in the most part cheerful throughout all of this.
I seriously hope this is your last thread!!

Never before have so many people been waiting for a po!

2000 posts and counting.

I agree that they really do sound a bit laissez faire about all this. She's been swollen for a day or so - shouldn't that have triggered some tests earlier?

Glad she's holding her own and you too OP.

When I first opened thread 1 I had no idea how invested I would become in a small persons poop! Fingers crossed for a resolution in thread 3 X

Sending you positive thoughts Littlemae
I don't know how I would be coping in your situation!
How is your dd6?

To give you hope that things can resolve, we ahem, had a good result yesterday after at least four weeks of movicol, enemas. We've been going at it the same time as you - as you know I've followed the thread...but I thought it might help you to know it's still possible to resolve.

Good luck in your case...hope it resolves soon!

Bravo to Small Hive!

Yes, well done SmallHive! Let's hope it's catching

and .

I hope that this is nearly over for you, both of you.

Hives 55- I have limited emojis on the app but lots of virtual party poppers and balloons for you and your family. Good news!!

The nurses are really concerned and looking very worried.
DD doesn't look like herself any more and can't even get out of bed to look at the snow. Not interested.

I feel physically sick. Will update later.

Thank you for the ongoing support. It is the only think keeping me going and strong xx

Oh LittleMaeMae.

Praying for you all xxx

If making a more public fuss can help your daughter , please don't let your partner's job ( whatever that is ) get in the way - it's not important now.

Lots of love to you all

I'm in awe of how you're coping
