DD has seen a consultant for tests recently, she is behind at school and seems emotionally immature. We had lots of academic tests done, took about 2 hours. She seemed to do ok.

We were then sent to the hospital for blood tests. I have no idea what for. The hospital just phoned me and said can the consultant come to the house one evening this week and speak to me about the results. They said they need my husband to be home too.

I am terrified. Has anyone else had a consultant come to the house? Am shaking and cant get hold of my husband or my mother.

She is coming tonight.

oh thankgoodness for DH.

at least then you can also get everyone fed and sorted before the consultant comes.

oh, is there any way that your mum can come too tonight to watch the children while you talk without interuptions??

Mrsjaffabiffa · 01/04/2008 14:33

Good, lg&t I'm glad N is on his way back.

I should have read your whole thread before phoning sorry if it was had talking but you didn't cry although I wouldn't have minded if you had. Thought I'd better get off phone in case N or your Mum phoned.

Time will fly now sweetie. xxx

loopylou6 · 01/04/2008 14:36

you poor poor thing i cant help thinking that was not very nice leaving you worrying like that but the one positive i have picked up is that you say the blood tests where a month ago yes? surely if anything awful was picked up they would of been in touch alot sooner?

frumpygrumpy · 01/04/2008 14:39

Right my dear, you get yourself on that school run and when you come back your darling husband will be home. Text me anything, anytime. xxx

Thank you all for your thoughts, the last hour has been much better than it would have been if i had been all alone.

Lovely, I'm sure it will be fine, sending lots of positive KK-type vibes. She is a poppet of a girl (amazing given she is surrounded by so many boys!). Fingers crossed.
