Hospital hell.
Before I get into the body of this post I have to let you all know I will be posting the answers to this weeks questions next weekend, there a couple of reasons for this:
No1. They were posted late and I want to give you all time and
No2. I am shattered and this is the main reason.
6am yesterday morning (Friday) vic and I went to change poppy's nappy as usual and found it full of blood. So after a brake neck drive to the children's A+E (ER to the Americans among you) we spent half the day being shuffled from department to department and poor poppy being jabbed with lots of needles we were told by the surgical team the poppy has a intussusception in her bowel.
They decided to whisk her off to the X-ray unit to give her an air enema (tube up the bum and pump in air) which they had to do three times while I had to restrain her, She was then put onto a drip and taken up to the ward to spend the night in observation.
At which point we were told that she could not be fed for 24 hours in case it didn't work and they had to operate. So after much soul searching and decision making I sent vic home to get some rest as she would not be able to feed poppy and would need here strength for the next day. While I spent a very sleepless night trying to comfort a baby that only wanted to be fed and feeling like the most evil person in the world for not giving her food.
Vic arrived back at hospital this morning and we were told that she could be fed, after a long feed poppy was all smiles and after a sleep and a second feed they removed the drip. All being well we have been told she may be able to come home tomorrow (Sunday) and at the latest Monday but they want to see how she is pooing and make sure that she is doing ok.
I am now at home and vic is staying at the hospital the night as she is feeding again so I am now going to bed to sleep before I collapse (as you can imagine it has been a complete emotional rollercoaster) and will be joining them again tomorrow.
will post soon.
Addition: I don't care what people say about the NHS the child care at the Royal hospital for children has been the best any parent could ask for and I have been overwhelmed buy the level of service and dedication that we have been shown.
