Eleanor had her heal prick test this morning at 10.30am, Well all was ok untill 30mins had passed and her heal was still bleeding, i don't mean a little it was still ouzing out of her heal, my MW sat here for 45mins aplying pressure then had to leave so i carried on. She rang me at 12.30pm and it was STILL bleeding, so she rang the pediatricians at warrington, who told her to apply pressure for 5 mins ... 5 mins?? we'd been doing it for like nrly 3hrs FFS! So i spoke to them and i got told if i wasn't happy to take her down to childrens outpaitents (ATTITUDE all the time) So i did take her, they did a full blood count and her platelets (clotting) One came back ok the other hasn't .... she has low platelets Got to go back on wed at 11am for another full test only this time she has to have a veinal test done. I was crying my eyes out earlier to see her cry like that but this is gonna kill me to see her hurting. They think she got the same probs as i have ... If so i have no idea whats next for her, but she is ok in herself just can't let her bleed as at the mo we can't stop it!
Poor ellie, but Imi well done for keeping on top of the bleeding and doing something about it. These professionals aint got a clue half the time! Jesus, poor lil soul
The woman at the hospital (Childrens ward) was supposed to have been a doctor! she spoke to my MW and was like "oh just apply pressure for 5mins" my MW was like we both been doin that for nrly 3hrs!!!
I totally lost my rag ..... but hey im hormonal and NO fooka tells me tis ok for my daughter to bleed for over 3hrs without stopping!
My MW fuming but was fantastic, apparently she was going to the hospital after her last visit! ......... Goooooo angela lol
