Normal Service Resumed...

We got back out of Hospital on Friday night but it takes a few days to get sorted and your head straight again.
We were kept in for two nights of the three and had to sleep there with her. Over that time she had blood tests, ultra sound on her hips and then on Friday she had to be sedated for a MRI scan (that was worse as it was nill by mouth for the day and the scan was much later than they said). 
The doctors have come up with no real conclusions but they have eliminated many things that it's not (which is good). There is extra fluid on both her hip joints but that is normally accompanied by an infection and an unwell child whereas she's been fine in herself and other than the limp you'd never know anything was wrong.
We have another visit to hospital later this week and in the meantime we just have to hope it clears up on it's own. 
My wife and I would like to say a big thank you for all your well wishes, it felt weird writing it as she's so well in herself, but the messages were lovely to read when we were sleep deprived and feeling down from being stuck in the hospital.
Thanks again

  2. Glad to know they found nothing serious. At least you were able to eliminate the obvious issues off the list of probable causes. Perhaps she is just playing pirate and fooling with you.

    1. If she didn't do it all the time (even when playing) then you's almost think it was a put on. It's been worse today but then we're not sure if it's because they've made such a thing about it in hospital. Because she's only three it makes it so hard to work out what's wrong.

    1. We couldn't help but worry about the worst things it could be. Thank you for your concern and sorry to keep everyone waiting, although because we're still not sure I felt that it's still a little open ended. Thanks again x

  12. hey Kev, dont forget that through the NHS if you can find a better specialist anywhere in the country you can insist on seeing them. its called choose and book. Last month I took my Mum to see the top lady at Moorfield in London. She was the nicest person ever for what was an awful time.

    Still beaming love. And I hope they get to the bottom of it all very quickly.

  13. So pleased that they didn't find anything alarming. Hopefully with her good diet and healthy life style she is a healthy little tot overall and she will bounce back to full health quickly.

    It's so worrying though isn't it. Love to you all. xx
