i was dreading february coming round - its a year since my son was taken ill
ive been feeling anxious etc as the date come nearer - obviously im not expecting him to be ill - but hes due another scan around the same date!!! so the pre-scan worries and results starting to creep in
so this week - i was expecting to have a nice quiet weekend - chill - enjoy the peace n quiet - relax before the next couple of weeks comes crashing along.......
my son booked a trip back to the uk to see his nana n grandpa ,,,,,,,hes been worrying about them - theyre not ill - just old! so to put his mind at rest he booked flights etc etc for himself -helen and the kids
(hence me looking forward to some quiet days)
saturday mrN drops them off at airport - then toodles off to a local bar to catch up on his beloved football - he had to be back at airport 2 hour later to pick pauls mate up ,,,,,,,,,(yeah great timing kids!) halfway thro 2nd half of match
he gets a fonecall from paul - they cant fly - our g/daughter was taken ill and rushed into local hospital suspected appendicitus
her mum went with her in and paul was at airport with g/son - he was devastated
he had to arrange for someone else to come pick up his mate then mrN took them to the hospital .................... g/daughter had had xray and was waiting for blood tests then waiting echo .......
they had to go back to airport to pick up the suitcase which had to be unloaded off plane ................
back to hospital - then back to our house for the night - they finally got home around 11pm ............8+ hours after mr N had left for the trip!!!!!
helen stayed the nite at hospital with g/daugher ........ then foned this morning to say she was allowed home .............. she has had severe gastroenteritus and has swollen lymph nodes in her abdomin
to say we were worried was the understatement of the year - paul was rushed into hospital nearly 1 year ago with severe abdominal pains ...... they initially thought it was appendecitus ..............
last night i prayed and prayed for her to be ok .....i think HE is sick of listening to me (hey i even asked our friend skipper to help!) well i thank god -skipper and anyone else who helped ............... (up there!) and hope and pray they continue to help us and everyone else on here in macland
my son daughter in law feel totally gutted / wiped out - their little girl poorly now
theyve missed their holidays (had to cancel their hols last june too!) lost the money on the flights ..............and pauls still worried about his grandparents and when he will see them again
we are all hating february!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ................ roll on march!
