G'day, everybody. It's late here, got to head for bed. Tomorrow is my house cleaning day, but life is getting complicated. Somewhere in the day, mother in law is having floor covering laid in her kitchen. And she's still in hospital, so I'm going to send difficult child 1, easy child 2/difficult child 2 & boyfriend down to mother in law's to house-sit and let the tradesmen in. Then the boys can move her fridge, freezer and table back in.
difficult child 3 is still complaining of abdominal pain and nausea, but sometimes he seems quite bouncy. I asked him how come he could bound in to kiss me goodnight, when he took ages and complained of feeling sick, when eating dinner (his favourite, chicken schnitzel). he just said, "Sometimes I get a bit of bounce back for a few minutes."
The doctor yesterday said he thought it was nausea from post-nasal drip. I don't think so, not with the pain he says he has. Taking the autism into account and the way he normally doesn't notice pain, I don't think this kid has post-nasal drip. I think it could be serious. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is thinking he could have appendicitis like she had, when the doctor tested her for rebound it was absent in her, too.
I'm going to mention this to the GP tomorrow and ask for an ultrasound to be done. It won't be easy - this doctor is a locum and they don't like going outside their little box, they're always terrified that the government will charge them for overservicing. He doesn't know me from Adam (or Eve) so has no reason to pay any attention to me (unlike my regular GP, who I have to book a month ahead, and drive 40 minutes to get to - my regular GP knew me when he was a student, he knows I'm no idiot when it comes to medical stuff).
Time to put my Warrior Mum armour on, with the steel-capped boots, and get kicking.
But first, another load of washing, then dinner to prepare for tomorrow night.
