Thanks for the kind words folks.

Yes he's fine now and co-incidentally, we're due to see his consultant tomorrow. Sadly, he's been having more fits than normal over the last few months so he's going to need a third medication (he's already on the highest dose of both the others he has to take).

It's all a bit worrying as it's almost a trial and error situation we're told so we're just praying that it works and he doesn't have any serious side effects.

Thankfully, he's a strong, happy lad and, despite all his problems, he brings us so much joy and we treasure every day with him.

Anyway, he was out for the count and looking very pale when I found him but after some basic tests in the ambulance and a lot of questioning and form filling, I was able to take him home.

I tell you what, the smile on his face as he came round in the ambulance was utterly priceless and couldn't fail to make anyone feel happy...

Glad it all turned out ok

Thanks so much. I'm looking forward hopefully for the pain to be gone once I get this op done and have a pain free life again. Cant remember what It's like at this stage to be pain free

Jeepers your heart must have been in your mouth Osem, and all the time all he really wanted was to see his Daddy, bless! Seriously though, I hope they can prescribe something that will ensure his fits can be kept under control. That would be one worry less for you and Mrs.

Thanks so much Tinky. Now I have to get my brain around the idea and not freak myself out about going in

It will be over before I know it. Have to keep telling myself that

Well it's a done deal - a third medication to be commenced after Xmas unless things go pear shaped beforehand. The paediatrician has recommended something that's usually well tolerated by children with only minor side effects (if any) so hopefully he'll be OK and then we can think about reducing his original medication if all goes well. I don't like him having to pop so many pills and potions but it's all a bit 'suck it and see' like really. Fingers, toes and anything else we can cross is being crossed right now.

Anyway, all the best to those of you suffering trying times too - I always try to remember that there are plenty of people far worse off than we are.

It seems to have taken a long time to get to this point but I have just spent the morning doing what I used to think was one of the most boring things in my world, prepping canvases. It feels soooooo good to be getting back to work.

dilli-theclaw · 14-11-2010, 14:24

Good stuff indeed

Put it into perspective - you will live a life without pain

A small inconvenience of an operation is well worth it in the great scheme of things

I suppose one good thing to come out of all this is not to take things for granted - so glad you are feeling much better

Sasha222 · 14-11-2010, 15:16

Believe me I know and I keep looking beyond the day of the op and looking into the future when It's all over and done with. Thanks so much superbiath for your kind words

Is this you Jo?

Everything crossed that the medication will work without any side effects. Hope your son is now feeling much better
