It has been a full on weekend at our house. My big boy (nearly six) complained of a sore hip on friday and i put it down to fridayitis and bundled him off to school with promises of checking up on him at lunch. He was fine at lunch, didn't do pe, but was still grizzly when he got home. By 1am and four wake ups in tears and owies we decided i would take him into A&E .... Best case scenario, nothing wrong and since it is the middle of the night we get seen quickly and are home for breakfast .... Worst case ... Well ... Turned out to be a case of blood tests, CAT scan and Xray ... Then off to theatre at 10am to have a germy appendix removed.
So thankful that we got in in time, as while it hadn't ruptured, it was leaking. He spent the next three nights in the children's ward, with my mum and DH taking turns and dh staying overnights. i was camping at home as we were down to one car (hopefully fixed soon) and Miss A is still breastfeed very regularly, day and night.
We are thankful for the care from the ED and Theatre and Ward, the doctors and nurses were amazing. Have a tired wee boy home now again ... Siblings all over the moon to have him back ... A week off school at least, so will be just hanging out here for a while longer.
