So ds had his 'well' chest X-ray today.

And he has a shadow on his right lung. He hasn't got any infection at the moment, not even a cold. It was his regular paed, who reviewed the X-ray today, so he wants to pass it on to the specialist radiologist and chest paed to discuss, and then for ds to have a ct scan.

Hopefully it will all happen quickly, because waiting is horrible.

((((hugs)))) hazey, waiting is the worst thing!

Oh Hazey. I hope you get the further tests and some positive news very quickly.
Crossing everything for you all.

Poor little mite will need to be knocked out for the CT scan as well, even though it takes a minute or two to run.... I hope that you get answers soon - don't forget you can always seek a second opinion and I would rate GOSH Respiratory team really highly. They've been brilliant with DD. x

Honks and hugs from me, too, Hazey. Xx

Thankyou for the honks and hugs.

I kind of wish they would just get on with the ct scan, so we could get some idea of what is going on. I think ds's paed would have had one done a while ago, but he wanted a second opinion and we seemed to go back to square one.

Thankyou again.

Going to put it to one side today, another day, another appointment! Today's is ds's annual developmental assessment, so expect a thread later......

hope all goes well. Ask if they'll do a wheelchair referral too

Oh darn, I should have done! It was a really long and detailed appointment. I feel knackered!

SallyBear · 10/04/2013 19:36

Ring the Developmental Paed's secretary (or email if you can - paper trail etc.) and say that it was such a long appointment that you forgot to ask a really important and urgent thing which was for a referral to Wheelchair Services.

Ds has a physio appointment next week (it is appointment central round here!) so I might wait and ask her.

Have just written an 'offloading' thread about todays appointment!!

TheNinjaGooseIsOnAMission · 10/04/2013 19:45

sally's idea is a good one, ask the physio next week too! Off to look for thread
