We got back out of Hospital on Friday night but it takes a few days to get sorted and your head straight again.
We were kept in for two nights of the three and had to sleep there with her. Over that time she had blood tests, ultra sound on her hips and then on Friday she had to be sedated for a MRI scan (that was worse as it was nill by mouth for the day and the scan was much later than they said).
The doctors have come up with no real conclusions but they have eliminated many things that it's not (which is good). There is extra fluid on both her hip joints but that is normally accompanied by an infection and an unwell child whereas she's been fine in herself and other than the limp you'd never know anything was wrong.
We have another visit to hospital later this week and in the meantime we just have to hope it clears up on it's own.
My wife and I would like to say a big thank you for all your well wishes, it felt weird writing it as she's so well in herself, but the messages were lovely to read when we were sleep deprived and feeling down from being stuck in the hospital.
Thanks again
Missed out on this story Kev, only just now playing catch up. Very best of wishes from North Wales to you all.
ReplyDeleteCheers John, it's amazing how good all these people wishing my daughter well from around the world makes us feel. It was a real pick me up.
DeleteGlad to know they found nothing serious. At least you were able to eliminate the obvious issues off the list of probable causes. Perhaps she is just playing pirate and fooling with you.
ReplyDeleteIf she didn't do it all the time (even when playing) then you's almost think it was a put on. It's been worse today but then we're not sure if it's because they've made such a thing about it in hospital. Because she's only three it makes it so hard to work out what's wrong.
DeleteWhat a relief, have found myself wondering about your little one through the week.
ReplyDeleteWe couldn't help but worry about the worst things it could be. Thank you for your concern and sorry to keep everyone waiting, although because we're still not sure I felt that it's still a little open ended. Thanks again x
DeleteNice to have you back, such a stressful time for you all, I hope it all clears up soon and you can get on with normality again as a family :-)
ReplyDeleteso glad to hear some bad stuff was ruled out! i HATE time spent in the hospital but then i guess, who likes it? i hope this just goes away!
ReplyDeleteI'll pray they get it figured out, Kev.
ReplyDeleteI take that as good news because they didn't find anything and I'm sure they would have looked for the worst. Thanking of you. xx
ReplyDeleteIn my limited experience with kids
ReplyDeleteAll i know is that they bounce back as quickly as rubber balls
Best and good wishes kev
oh Kev - so happy to hear that she has had a bunch of tests and the bad stuff has been ruled out! you and your wife are raising such interesting and beautiful girls, i am sure that the docs will somehow figure out what is going on! i am glad that you all have held it together so well during this difficult time! and glad to have an update from you!
ReplyDeleteyou'll all be in our prayers and we send our warmest wishes your way! your friends,
kymber and jam
Horrible when your child is in hospital, thinking of you all xx
ReplyDeleteIts always slightly frustrating when there seems no obvious reason, but as you say she is well in herself and hope it all sorts itself out soon , get well soon wishes from Lincolnshirexx
ReplyDeletehey Kev, dont forget that through the NHS if you can find a better specialist anywhere in the country you can insist on seeing them. its called choose and book. Last month I took my Mum to see the top lady at Moorfield in London. She was the nicest person ever for what was an awful time.
ReplyDeleteStill beaming love. And I hope they get to the bottom of it all very quickly.
So pleased that they didn't find anything alarming. Hopefully with her good diet and healthy life style she is a healthy little tot overall and she will bounce back to full health quickly.
ReplyDeleteIt's so worrying though isn't it. Love to you all. xx
So happy that all is so much better than this time last week! xxxx
ReplyDeletePraying for your little one. Hopefully answers will come.
