Hello from sunny Edinburgh.....at last!
I finally had to throw my toys outta the pram, stamp my feet and literally cry my eyes out before I finally got Jack transferred out of Aberdeen.
We arrived yesterday lunch time and my boy has already caused havoc and mayhem in the short time he has been here. He has performed beautifully and shown them these really agitated moments, the sweating events and had a few seizures within a very short time of arriving.
He also added a bit more, just for fun and I was called just after midnight by the ward to say that he had an obstructed airway episode and they had called the doctors who were seeing to him as she was speaking to me. I rushed up there, heart in my mouth but it was all over and they had fitted a collar around his neck to stop his head dropping onto his chest and causing the same thing to happen again. This morning he vomited blood and tissue just as the doctors were doing their rounds and totally traumatised myself and his Granny Mac. He went into a fit of giggles after so he obviously felt he was being quite entertaining!!!
I wanted him to show them these events but I think he has taken it a tad too far, don't you??
The doctors here are taking things very seriously and can see just by looking at him that all is so definitely not well. I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I parked the car outside the hospital in Edinburgh cos I know that they will try their very best to get to the bottom of things.
So yesterday, 11th January was a good day because he got transferred to Edinburgh but it became a remarkable day when Holly called me to tell me that she had a conditional acceptance into Queen Margaret's University in Edinburgh to study acting. I wooped and hollered down the phone and I was a very very proud mummy. The condition is that she is 31 points short of an unconditional acceptance but that just means she has to pass one of her exams with a C grade which hopefully she will have no trouble doing.
What a fantastic day yesterday turned out to be. Hope 2012 is being good to you all so far.
The only way is up my little gigglers!
