Spacecadet has asked me to get everyone who was concerned about her know, that she was admitted to hospital last night. she is currently in MAU, where she will be for up 48 hours depending on how she responds to treatment. She had another chest x-ray and is on IV antibiotics and also a drip as she was dehydrated.She has asked me to say thankyou to everyone who was concerned about her.

Mr Spacecadet
We had to BADGER her to go back to hospital! I was shocked when she was sent home the other day, too. Thought for sure they'd keep her there. Then when she rallied a bit I thought, 'Oh no! She's going to think she's better . . .'

Nurses are bad patients!

Glad she's at least being taken seriously now, tho.

Or a walkman with some quiet music, whale shagging music is good for getting you off to sleep.

Cod, she would look at the dishy doctors, no matter how ill she is! The doctor that treated her first was the same one that saw our four year old son a a few weeks ago when he had paper stuck up his nose.

Yes do tell us and then we can all send cards addressed to Space Cadet, and when she tells the doctors that the cards are from her friends on the internet, they will find her a nice soft room and a jacket that ties at the back.

It would certainly be interesting!
Are you allowed to give out details like that on MUMSNET?

Oh dear, I know exactly what you mean by MAU now - my gran was once on the same sort of ward for a day - as SC says, it's just really an extension of casualty (but doesn't count as casualty in their target figures for getting people beds), I can imagine Spacecadet is v.v.pissed off!

charliecat · 09/01/2006 10:20

Glad shes in hospital, shame she hasnt got any sleep. Hope they move her somewhere where she can rest.

I dont know whether she will be cross with me!
I will ask her her, im sure she wont mind though but will check when I go to visit, Im new to all this so I dont know what you are all comfortable telling each other!

Send her lots of love from all of us.

She needs looking after you know, please don't assume once she is out of hospital that she can be left at home with 4 children and no help, unless you want her to have a serious relapse.
Maybe you can use this time to think about what support she can be given once she is out of hospital as she will be weak for some time.

codthemod · 09/01/2006 10:22

oooh harsh matron

charliecat · 09/01/2006 10:23

Yep, I agree PrincessPeaHead, she really needs to have time to recover so she will be back to normal or it will drag on and on and she will never feel 100% right and will be more likely to get the same again at a later date.
She needs a full recovery.

codthemod · 09/01/2006 10:24

hire a nanny

BudaBabe · 09/01/2006 10:26

Hope SC starts to feel better - at least in hosp she is resting.

Can't believe what she has been throuhg over the last few months.

PrincessPeaHead - be as harsh as you like with Mr SC - he needs it I think. Having just read the other thread this may act as a wake-up call that a bit more support earlier on might have prevented SC getting quite so ill. Sorry MrSC but you do deserve a rap on the knuckles - at the very least!

I have been told off by E for not taking her seriously and yes I do feel absoloutely awful.
E doesnt know this but the doctor told me that had she not gone to hospital when she did, she could have been dead by the end of the week and I feel terrible. Thing is she can be a bit of a hypochondriac, for example if she has a headache, shes having a brain haemorrage, so I admit that I thought she was milking it a bit, non one can make me feel any worse than I already do.

Oh girls, go easy on him, he is feeling bad enough.

BudaBabe · 09/01/2006 10:34

That's OK then!!! I like husbands feeling bad!

OK Mr SC - you are off the hook for the moment - but you make sure you look after her! She needs lots of TLC.
