DH back in hospital, i am worried /upset but kids blissfully unaware, thats autism for you

[onlyjoking9329]

DH went for a brain scan yesterday, he got a phone call at lunch time to say they had found some abnormalities and want him back in pronto,the nuero guy wanted the brain scan to check/rule out MS/ brain tumour.
he has gone back to hospital taken by his brother cos it ain't easy to find childcare for my three. meanwhile i am having to listen to the usual bizzare chats with my three waffling on about tescos blue milk. what time Beths imaginary baby needs to go to his imaginary nursery and what characters DS has unlocked on lego star wars, when all i really wanna do is curl up in a ball and sob
we were supposed to be going on holiday 15th feb so looks like we will have to cancel, which will not go down well with the kids.

Sorry to hear that. Waiting for news is hard.

it's all the waiting that gets me, visting hours very strict 2-8, they won't give much info on the phone and to be honest the amount of stress taking the kids to the hospital doesn't bear thinking about.

OMG OJ- I haven't logged onto the other place since yesterday. Hope you don't have to wait much longer.

am ok (ish) its just at times like this it really hits home how different the kids are, i know in the morning that all 3 will have a wobbler about dad not doing their breakfast and other stuff that is important to them, meanwhile i am still trying to sort out the girls school bus picking them up from the house and working out how i can be in 2 places at the same time.

i have talked to the hospital but they are less than helpful, he was sent in last week for an emergency brain scan but told the doctor he was fine so they sent him home in a taxi, it didn't matter to them that he didn't even know what day it was.

Really sorry to hear this - sorry for waffling on in e-mails - hope you get good news.

oh it pisses me off that hospitals show such lack of understanding about autism. Is he still telling all the drs he's OK (I hope if so they're not believing him now and will do all the necessary investiagtions).

Bloody hell, you've got a lot on your plate OJ . So sorry to read that. {{hugs}}

Thanks folks, will go to bed and try to sleep & hope that the kids sleep too.

really really sorry you are having such a difficult time. You are doing brilliantly to cope with it all.

have you had any more news yet OJ?

I hope its positive

((hugs))

onlyjoking, hope you get some good news. You may have to be very firm with the hospital about your needs.

I hope you get some positive news asap. xxx

only news that i have is that the nuero guy that he saw on thursday will be in to see him at some point today.

he has been seen by the neuro guy and he has told him he has a brain tumour,he will be having a biopsy shortly and once i have sorted out childcare i am off to hospital.

OMG OJ

onlyjoking I am sorry to read that. I hope you manage to get some childcare sorted and can get in to dh soon. I hope that it isn't as bad as it sounds

OJ, I am so sorry to hear that. I hope you, DH and family are alright. You seem like a fantastic person, who will find the strength to cope with whatever is thrown your way. I hope your DH makes a quick recovery now that they have found whats wrong. Sending you good wishes at this difficult time.

I'm so sorry, what a shock to hear thatHave you got family nearby that could help out with your children?
