UnlikelyAmazonian's DS is gravely ill

[PiranhaMorgana]

Please pray for UA's son,4yo ,who has just been diagnosed with Leukaemia and is on his way to Bristol Children's Hospital this evening.
UA is currently banned from MN after an altercation on Relationships,but she has continued lurking and really misses the support which helped keep her strong for her DS since her very abusive xh disappeared 4 years ago.
She is a very dear friend of mine and her DS is her entire life.She is absolutely devastated and has no family.

Thinking of you and your brave son UA

How is he doing, UA? And how are you too?

Is it this week he's having treatment? I have difficulties with dates, and get weeks mixed up. Iam sending healing white light to you in Bristol as wellas to Scotland.

"herds?" just noticed. "her ds", of course!

Still praying.

Thinking of you and sending positive vibes xx

:(

How is your ds? Hopefully no update is because all the news os good!

Hi and thanks for concern. DS is doing well. He's has been off chemo for two weeks as blood counts not good enough to start the next round. But today when we went to hospital his counts were good so he had the lumbar puncture and tonight has started next block of chemo. It means he has started what's called the 'Consolidation' phase.

Haven't felt like posting anything as have been on expat's thread and our problems with leukaemia are nought in comparison. My heart is with her.

Im so sorry for expat ua.
Nobody deserves.to have to cope with what you two have.to.
Your both in my thoughts.

It's been awful, asn't it? It must have been absolutely chilling for you though.

I do hope you and he don't find this next round of chemo too awful.

Hi UA, just wondering how you and DS are doing? x

Amother wonering how you are.

How is DS UA? ANd how are you??
xx

Hi UA, hope you and your DS are ok

Hi. I am v tired. My own fault as DS is a long slog all the day so when he has gone to bed I stay up far too late.

It's ground-hog day really. He is with me all day every day. But he is doing very well right now - we've started the second block of chemo, which I give to him an hour or more after his tea. Oral tablets. I have to wear gloves to handle them and give them to him in a teaspoon of jam. He swallows them easily and with a triumphant flourish and that's good as his experience of taking medicine up to now has been horrific.

So far no side-effects but it's only been four days so waiting for something to happen.

He plays on the Wii a lot and we play together. He's bloody amazing at it for four. Can do nearly all the Donkey Kong Country Returns levels.

haven't really been anywhere as weather is so hopeless. Solid rain here in N Devon for days - the odd sliver of sunshine but not much.

Also my lovely mini-schnauzer dog has been diagnosed with pancreatitis and chronic diabetes so am going to have him put to sleep next Monday when my friend can be with me from London.

Thanks for asking. Lots of people in RL have melted away now. They don't know what to say I suppose.

thinking of you UA xx

I am sorry to hear RL people have melted away. I hope that is temporary and they will step up. Don't be afraid to ask for help, if you need it. People might surprise you and they mighthave stepped back so as not to intrude iyswim?
Your DS sounds like a very brave little boy and is clearly a computer genius ;-)

Sad about your dog, it must be very hard.
Sorry I am not good at writing posts, just wanted to you to know people are still thinking of you and here to lend a holding hand x

Sorry about your dog, UA.

Glad DS is taking this round well so far, long may it continue! How long does this lot go on for?

Keep posting UA. You have friends here.

So sad about your dog - but it's obviously the fight thing to do. Have you had him long? Does DS know he's going to doggy-heaven??

X

right not fight

Great to hear your DS is tolerating the chemo so well.

I'm very sorry to hear your dog is so unwell.

Hope things improve for you very soon. I know what it's like when you have a child who is unwell and those in RL really don't know how to handle it

Take care.

Keep posting here ua.
So sorry about your dog. Mines ill and the vets are usless.

Sending you and your ds lots of love UA.

So sorry to hear about your dog too, like you've not got enough on your plate at the moment.

Keep posting, and please let us know if we can help at all from afar, food deliveries of salami, new wii games anything!

Hey UA, hope everything is going ok for you both. Your DS sounds like a trooper. I'm glad he is able to take his meds. Do hope you're getting support, but if people IRL are no good, then MN is here. so sorry about your poor dog.

Thinking of you and your son UA xx
