Good morning everyone!
I started out late to the hospital today, because I needed to tidy my house before the Japanese student arrived. The floors still look awful, i walked on them in my outdoor shoes before it was dry.
Got to the hospital and practically demanded they give cherub an enema. doctor said she'd see the x ray results first. So, x ray happens and guess what? she's still impacted. So, doctor decided NG tube rather than enema (which I reckon should have happened last Friday).
Before they could get the liquid running through, cherub had coughed herself silly, and coughed the tube up.
So, they tried again, by which time cherub traumatised and couldn't be held still enoough to get it into the right place, so it had to come out again!
They then decide to go back to drinking the medicine, and I was able to calm her enough to get her to drink 750ml. Now we wait again.
Even when this is over, she is to be transferred to another hospital for further tests and treatment.... so i have a long, long, time ahead of me.
Japanese student must think I'm looney! She's with us for 10 days....
Eventually we got home, though i'm ashamed to say I had to buy takeway fish and chips for my guest.
Another day tomorrow.....
I have been so stressed today, I went out and bought chocolate, now i'm drinking tea with chocolate covered shortbread.
I'm so glad that biomum hasn't got to go through this, and is having such a lovely holiday! I'm sure she really needs the break (I'm being sarcastic - what I really want to say is "I'm so ANGRY that she has abused her child by neglecting her medication and that cherub is being so badly traumatised through her faults")
have a good day everyone, and please spare a prayer for cherub when you can.
