One of my lot managed three emergency admissions before the age of 15 and that included two ops, all for different things. The other three, nothing between them. I feel your pain and so know what you mean about going home to proper tea in a pot.

It was very horrid to see him in all that pain. And the moment that he goes under the general anesthetic and was wheeled away is something I won't forget in a hurry.<br /><br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-7200165760152156942014-11-10T16:40:25.703+00:002014-11-10T16:40:25.703+00:00Hope E recovers quickly.

Although I did smile at the end of your post and here's why ...... my son (Aspergers) is regularly convinced that he has appendicitis since a boy in his class had it last year. Honestly he has us driven mad telling him (always at bedtime Obviously) that no he hasn't got it, yes he'll be fine etc etc (in case you're worried it might actually BE appendicitis it's been months now on and off and in between its fine. I think it's more likely he needs to go to the loo). Anyway. When I read about the not rushing straight back to school and not having to have showers and missing PE and getting loads of sweets ....... well thankyou because now I can tell him the positives :D<br />Hope recovery continues well<br />Jill xxx Jill at emeraldcottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971442891183180993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390436548583166562.post-9969082619587873992014-11-09T17:25:51.468+00:002014-11-09T17:25:51.468+00:00Oh, wow, how gruelling and exhausting for you all....Oh, wow, how gruelling and exhausting for you all.

The last dash to hospital was when he was away on a trip in the next county, I rushed up their with no thought of packing anything for myself so was in the same clothes for days, luckily the hospital shop sold knickers!
