Update: Miles got home for Christmas day, although I had to take him to hospital for 2 hours just to get an antibiotic booster.. which we have to do until 27th .. anyway it turns out he had Viral Pneumonia.. so he is on the mend 6 weeks time we should have the all clear :)

Ok Miles is my 6 year old son.. and last Wednesday took ill with abdominal pain and feeling sick.. at first I thought Tummy bug.. so I had a couple of days off work to look after him.. ( the joys of both parents working together, and Becky is much more important to the company than ME)
Anyway after a few trips to his doctor we found that he Blood and Protein in his wee. (That’s Bad) could be Kidneys or Liver problems.
So He taken to Hospital where he still is, I found out last night that he actually he has Pneumonia Basically an infection of the lungs. he is on an 48 hour cycle of IV antibiotics so …. Fingers crossed and I find out in 2 hours if i get him home for Christmas or if he needs another 48 hours in hospital.

btw you should be able to tell because I’m writing this and not beside his bed that Miles is on the mend and nothing to worry about now, I just know a few friends knew and needed updating.. so Have a Good Christmas and I will see you all in the New Year

Have a good time, and good luck to Miles, you and the rest of the family. Nothing sucks more than when your child is ill… I’d rather be sick for two weeks than my little son be sick for half a day…
Miles, get well soon! Best wishes from my side and nevertheless have a nice christmas!
Have a great Christmas Miles and get well soon.
Dave - hope he gets home for xmas mate - that will be good medicine in itself.
Thoughts of me and the family are with you and Becky and Miles of course.
That su**s, best of luck for everyone. Hope he will be well soon and you can enjoy Christmas.
Hope Miles gets home soon! I’ll be sending good thoughts his way!
Hope your family still enjoys the holidays - hopefully this little “sidetrack” will help your family enjoy each other more :)
I hope Miles recovers quickly!
nothing worse than illness at Christmas, even worse when one of the little ones, hope Miles gets well soon
That really sucks. I feel sorry for you and hope that Miles will be well soon and be able to enjoy a bit of the holidays anyway.
Hope to get well soon,
fingers crossed Miles!
I hope he gets well quickly
All the very best wishes
best wishes man let me know if you need anything.
Hey Dave, I have a 6 year old boy as well and know how scary these things can get. Good to hear Miles is getting better and best wishes to you and your family for the holiday.
Best wishes on Miles having a speedy recovery. Hoping for a happy holiday for you.
My sister has been in the Hospital since Monday with similiar systems. We got her home yesterday. Prayers are with you and yours.
Dave my prayers are with you and your family this Christmas, if you need anything from the states let me know.
peace mate!
Glad to hear he’s on the mend! Merry Xmas to all at DaveN towers!
Dave -
Thank God he’s all better - Merry Christmas!
Best to ya and your family Dave. It is good to read that Miles is recovering well.
Hope you have a good day today and a peaceful and prosperous new year.
Glad he’s doing better — hope he is fully recovered. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Dave, any rash? In January this year my daughter started out with something like that, but she also had a rash - http://heseltine.blogspot.com/2006/01/home-again.html - it turned out to be a condition known as HSP that had attacked her stomach and kidneys. She’s doing great now, but it took the until the 7th day in hospital to diagnose it correctly.
Hopefully it’s what they’ve said, and everything is going great for you all now.
It’s always scary when the little ones need ANYTHING medically related; I’m very glad that he is okay now.
Glad to hear he’s better. My son spent Christmas in the hospital, too. It’s no fun at all.
As Paul said, I hope he made it back for christmas day, it would have been a shame if he had to stay in hospital. I hope all is well and wish miles the best of luck.

Not a great way to start Christmas, but hope you all were able to make somethng of it, and that Miles is feeling better now.
Glad to hear he made it home for Christmas!
Very best to you and your family Dave - hope you enjoy the New Year! :)
Glad he is on the mend. Had the same thing with my boy the other week [protein in urine etc] this was a leg infection not chest.
my sympathies, my 1 1/2 year od son had an ear infection whicih turned into a week in hospital recently - its all pretty awful. So I hope your youg lad mends asap
Glad to hear Miles is getting better. Hope you and your family have a great 2007.
Glad to hear he’s on the mend. Hope everything turns out ok. Best wishes for a Happy New year and maybe ‘07 be the best one ever for you family Dave.
yay for Miles being such a trooper, glad you had him on Christmas!
