Hello again everyone ,
just an update on my kids.
My eldest son Craig is seeing the senior cardiologist next month, he's got to have an ambulatory ecg monitor fitted next tuesday. We recieved a copy of the referral letter from his immunologist , he thinks he may have a significant underlying heart problem , he also mentioned Craigs' marked Pectus excavatum(sp), very tall & very slim build. ( I think I maybe right about the Marfans' theory .
He had to see his neurologist yesterday (previous generalised seizure), because of the uncertanty of whether he suffered another fit or some kind of blackout he's decided Craig cannot learn to drive for a second year running.He was really upset yesterday (he wept), he is really unsure of his future.At the moment he is doing a construction course at college , which knocks him about because he suffers badly with joint & back pain (he is hypermobile)
My younger son Lewis is set to have his operation for a hydrocele on the 10th March.We saw his allergist last week and asked about any possible allergy to the anaesthetic occurring. He said he couldn't predict this & that there wasn't any testing that could be done unless he actually has a reaction.
My youngest daughter Leah is to have an insullin pump fitted in a few weeks because of unstable blood sugar readings, she is having lots of hypers & hypos.
We have lots on our plate in the coming weeks & I'm tormented with worry.
Love & best wishes

Hello & thanks for your replies.
Craig is 18 , he's having a difficult time & he's very angry at the moment.
He seems to have given up on everything ,he hasn't been to college.He usually helps out my brother who's a plumber ,on non college days but he hasn't done that either.
He admitted to me last night that he is very depressed but he won't do anything about it. We arranged for him to see the college councellor a couple of weeks back but he didn't turn up and she phoned today to rearrange the appt but he will not talk to her.
I think kids are more of a worry when they start growing up because you can't really interfere , or demand they see someone.


Love
Angied
