Another trip to the hospital

B came home from T's this morning after having what seemed to be not such a bad nights sleep from having to go to hospital from a head injury. And he seemed to be more quiet than normal. Thought it could just be down to the "excitement" of yesterday.

He started throwing up, thats when I became concerned enough to take him to the doctors again.. this time the doctor said straight away he should have been x-rayed and seen properly at the hospital the night before, considering the lump that was still there.

So another trip up to Addenbrookes. I was growng tired but tankfully one of B's godparents was on hand to travel with us,thank god for mates.

We were only there really a couple of hours before they saw B and decided he needed a CAT scan and they were pretty wonderful. He got seen in no time.

Results were that he was suffering from concussion, hence the nausia and lethargy. Luckily brain wasn't swollen too much considering his knock and there was no seepage from brain or anything other than a small fracture where he had fallen onto the floor.

It's just time sconsuming and bloody annoying for him. All he wanted wa s to either sleep or be up and running about like any kid. He just found that he was thirsty and a little hungry as he hadn't eaten anything since about seven the prev evening. Very confusing for him, althogh throughout the tests he was amicable, and very very good. It would have scared some kids but he was wonderful. Didnt mind the nurses obviously, what male would?? lol

So anyway we got discharged again and sent home. We called in for a big mac en route and he chose his meal, although couldn't stomach any of it, he was more interested in the balloons which they had decorated the place with lol Kids.. a nightmare.

We went to see my dad after we got out of cambridge and B then spewed over the carpet.. proper chunder chunks.. smelt awful.. but that was the last time he has spewed

It is now Thursday and he so far has been good, well as good as can be expected from B anyhow. I am keeping him off school for a few days and see how he is over this time.

We'll soon be back to shouting matches I am sure, but for now... I am being nurse to him but if he thinks he can be getting away with being naughty just because he has been to hospital.. he'll soon find out that he cannot lol

Wil keep this updated.. moreso for when he is older so I can show him what he puts me through lol
