My poor boy

Well we go from a perforated ear drum, which is now healing nicely, to fainting.

On Sunday my son fainted at Sunday school and ended up with a nice minor injury to his head. Then on the way to the doctors on Tuesday he fainted again hurting his hands. The doctor just said it was down to his ears, but she would request some blood tests.  These tests are going to be done next week.

Then on Wednesday after we had eaten dinner he fainted again. This time into some bbq sause which went flying, ending up over the floor and my curtains, he didn't hurt himself luckily. The curtains ended up in the wash and had to be rehung wet.

Then yesterday on the way to school he fainted again this time hurting his knee and hands. But he couldn't walk so I had to carry him to school, crying,  and clean him up. At this point some of the other mums said that I should take him to A&E, I was thinking this myself anyway.

So off we go to hospital and he has lots of tests which he was not happy about. He hated the blood sugar test, where they prick his finger to get some blood and then test it, much crying was had. He also did two urine tests, the first one he weed into a very big pot but the second one he had a very small tube type pot. He was not impressed with this pot as he had to put his willy in the pot so we could get a sample.  Then we had an ECG which came back abnormal. With my history they have made a referral to The Royal Brompton for him. We were there most of the day and the doctors did want to keep him in. But he did not like this very much and in the end we got released as the doctor said he would be better off at home.

Lets hope we get some answers soon.
