Hospital

Grrrrrr this is now my 3rd attempt at doing this entry and getting it to save...So fingers and everything crossed ROFL

Got to stay in bed a bit longer today as usually G has to be up at 7am and picked up for school at 7.30am <groan> ...M doesn't get up until 8am and G was able to do same today...Got a pleasant surprise at hossy as we found a parking space no problem, usually it is jam packed full even that early...Poor G towered above the others who were waiting in the childrens out patients dept...Will be his last visit there now as he is too old...We didn't wait too long to be seen which also makes a nice change...The doctor could hear that his nose was troubling him and said i see he has a massive allergy count...Thought eeks own GP said the allergy blood tests came back only testing positive for house dust mite and pollen...But phew by massive he meant the actual reaction to them not he tested postivie to heaps...Nothing i didn't know as he has asthma and was found to have chronic hayfever when only 5 weeks old...Poor lad has been on hayfever meds every march-sept since he was a baby...Back then at first we just thought was a sticky eye but it wouldn't clear up and then they realised it was hayfever...In the past before he went to high school he never had any problems all year round...Ever since he went to this school his nose is like permanently blocked all year round...The head of the base has never believed me that it is SOMETHING in the school he is reacting too...Well ner ner to her because the doctor today agreed with me <smug> ...I know that's not nice but when you have kids with disability and have to put up with so much crap only to end up being right to start with i think i can justify being a bit smug :o) ...So he asked what all had been tried and i said we're now on the last type of nasal steroid spray available...It's failing now too :o( ...So the doctor looked inside his nostril and G's *turbots* are massively inflammed...Also just below them inside is red where the spray has been going...Now is it just me or when someone mentions turbot don't you think of fish LOL...Upshot is he will be taken in as a day patient, put under anaesthetic and these turbot thingies drained...Then the nasal spray can reach where it needs to go to counteract the allergens he is reacting to...It won't be until beginning of next year and ineed to phone them on monday and tell them when his exam prelims are...Can't have them clashing with each other...After all the grief the head of his base gives him about his hair etc i would love it to be her perfume, deoderant or something she wears...Oh and know exactly what it was and be able to tell her so...Again i apoligise for not being very nice but hey ho...I have a post future needs review for him on monday morning and i know she will be asking why he was at hospital today...Quite frnakly it really is none of her business...She wouldn't demand to know if he was a regular mainstream kid so don't see why she has to know...Sometimes she can be very nosey and trys to order peoples home lives about to suit her views of our kids.

After dropping him back at school i went and visited a friend who lives near there...My temperature is back to normal today and i don't feel so washed out :o) ...Just got a dry cough now and bit of a headache but nowt bad...Popped into asda on way home and ended up buying myself 2 thin jumpers and a furry cardigan/jacket thing...Need them as my clothes from last year are way too big...In fact most of them are from 2 years ago and were big last year but wearable...I actually loathe and detest shopping but sometimes needs must...Got cards for K and posted them earlier so fingers crossed they arrive on monday...they do have 1st class stamps on them but these days that seems to be no guarantee...Thanks for all the comments about the jewellery i think i will get that particular collection for her...I know one of the shops here at least has the ring and pendant but not sure about the earrings.......Toodle pip for now xx

 

Again thanks to sara for the siggy tag :o)

Jan yeah she does have 2 kids...They're older than kerry and i dread to think how she made them have their hair and what clothes she dictated they wore...My bet is they went out with what she wanted them to wear on and changed at a mates into something trendy

I would have thought fish, never knew we had these things in our noses. Allegy's are a pain in the rear end trying to find the right thing.  Glad you're feeling a bit better and whoohoo!! you have done well on the diet. Rache xx

I wondered about having fish up our noses too...lol!  Poor G, hayfever isn`t very nice, mine is fairly mild so I can live with it thankfully, but for a young lad with Asthma too, it must be so miserable. It could be something the Head wears...who knows?   I hope you do find out what is causing it.  :-)

What a shame he has to go through all that but maybe he will be much better for it and yet I immediately thought of fish lol.

I actually started thinking of mini robots when you mentioned Turbots.  Hope the review thingy went alright today :-)
