i am off to the hospital with my son at half eleven. he has a problem with iron in his blood and has to have monthly infusions. it has been going on for some while and his peadiatrician has ordered loads of 'special tests' some take 4 weeks to come back, meanwhile through the summer hols he has had to have weekly blood tests to monitor his iron levels. Today we should get all the results and find out what the problem is. I know the last lot of tests had something to do with enzymes. I see his doc often and have never been nervous before, but today feel like i have a brick in my stomache.I know you will keep your fingers crossed for good news, just felt like i needed to share my nervousness with someone.it's his birthday tomorrow so i hope we don't get any bad news. tracey x

Just want to wish you luck with your little boy. Going to hospitals with children is so nervewracking. All the best to him for his birthday tomorrow! Lorrainex

Good luck sweetheart! I hope they find the problem and it's an easy one to fix!! Big hugs.

it is awful when kids are in hospital, my 12 year old had his tonsills out a fortnight ago(so has had to miss start of school) and walking with him to aneasthetic room and watching while they put him to sleep was horrendous, i broke my heart, but hubbie was worse. Nathan who is at hospital today is 16 tomorrow so he isn't a little one anymore but he is still my baby thanks for the good wishes tracey x

Hi Tracey, I know how you feel,I was in with our son on tuesday for tests.Its only natural to be apprehensive but keep your mind on the positive if you can.Love,Fee B x

hi tracey i'm sure everything will be fine, at least they will be able to sort out the right treatment for him, which will put your mind at rest. i hope he has a lovely birthday sandra

Hi Tracey, hope everything goes well for your son and that he has a wicked birthday tomorrow. thinking of you. Lynda

thanks for the kind words everyone. just got back and none the wiser, just more worry as peadiatracian has basicallly said he has no idea what could be the problem so he is referring him to a specialist at pendlebury childrens hospital. so more waiting and worrying. I will keep youall informed many thanks Tracey x
