This Sucks : Miles in Hospital
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…

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.
