Called back to consultant after DS brain MRI

[nearlymumof5]

hello, my DS aged 7 has been having nausea, sickness and headaches since November and through lots of pushing managed to get an MRI which was on Monday eve - we were told to expect results in 2 weeks. Today I received a phone call from the paediatric consultants secretary asking myself and hubby to go in tomorrow at noon. I’m terrified. Has anyone else got experience of this? What’s scared me most is that they have asked me to bring hubby. They have requested that we don’t bring DS. I don’t even know what I’m asking for on this thread, maybe someone that has been in a similar situation? Thanks x

Really pleased to hear such a positive update. It is quite remarkable how quickly children recover from surgery compared to adults.

The waiting for results is difficult, we waited only hours for our first MRI scan results and it felt like days.

My DD bounced back so quickly after the first 24 hours had passed. She had a drain in her head which was taken out after a couple of days and made things a little easier.

Sending you lots of love and strength for the coming days and week 💗

Wonderful updates, OP. So glad they got it all xxx

Ive been quietly following as I’m sure so many people have and so so happy for this update. Wishing your son a smooth and speedy recovery.

Brilliant news OP, what a scary road it has been for you all.

Fantastic news. Your world has turned inside out and upside down in under a week. The shock might hit in a few weeks and months so take care of yourselves and I hope that your DS will recover well over the summertime.

Fantastic update. Hurrah in avoiding PFS and fingers crossed for a straightforward recovery.

*PFS being posterior fossa syndrome, not previous first born.

I suddenly realised that it could be very misread!!

I have been thinking about you and your son since you first posted. Thankyou for updating and really hope you have more good news next week.

I am so absolutely delighted to hear your updates, OP. Just be extra gentle with yourself. xxx
