Looking for a little support

poppyscorner

Hi guys,

I have had the worst 24hrs of my life DS2 Josh my baby is 9months old he has not been well cant say there is anything wrong specifically but he has completely changed from how he was he was a happy placid baby but in the last few months he has changed to someone who always seems poorly looks very pale has gone backward instead of forward as far as development is concerned etc etc.
Anyway I have been ridiculed by my whole family and they branded me a worrier even DH but I know there is something not right. I stuck to my guns and went to paediatrics last month dr was lovely said he was a little pale but he was generally happy and well since then he has got worse is refusing to eat going back to bottles yesterday we had a review the same dr and this time he was very concerned he said he looks worse than last time and suspects some kind of blood disorder could be the problem.

He is also very concerned about his development and says there is a broad spectrum of normal and naturally it will have a faster developers side and slow developers on the other side Josh could not do many of the things he asked such as he can sit if I put him in the sitting position but cannot sit up for himself he cannot roll front to back or back to front he cannot crawl either he says Josh is right at the end of the slow developers side.

Josh had to be at hospital at 9am this morning for blood tests (which were awful) and the dr is ringing later today with the results I am terrified by it DH is different to me and says what will be will be and worrying wont change it I know he is right but I can't help myself I was awake most of last night I always imagine the worst and hope for the best its just the way I am.

I feel glad I have pushed for him to be checked and not listened to others but feel frightened at finding out what we are up against I love my children dearly as I am sure you can all appreciate they are my world and will always be I lost a daughter and the thought of anything happening to either of the boys breaks my heart.

Sorry for going on (if I have) please don't give me any medical advice I suppose I just wanted a sound off to get it all off my chest I am home alone well Josh is with me but sleeping and have no one to talk to about it all just wanted abit of support

Thanks for listening if you made it this far

Aww and hugs from me too to you and Josh hope you'll soon have it sorted

Hugs to you, at least soon you'll know what the results are and then you can hopefully go on to treat Josh, I think the not knowing of any situation is scary and of course you'll be anxious so I hope you can relax a little when you get the results!

Lots of love and hugs to you all
and good luck with the results!

Please let us know how you get on when you have time.

<hugs> and good wishes here too.

I always find you're better off knowing what is wrong, if anything, than wondering about it.

So sorry to hear what a worrying time you're having. Hope the results come back that there's nothing much to worry about, but if it's bad news at least little Josh has a lovely mummy who'll do everything she can to help him.

(((hugs)))
