Things are moving along. Slowly, but you can’t hurry the system. **UPDATED**

in Evelyn

It was a long and stressful weekend, with Evelyn getting more and more twitchy and tired, and me getting more and more stressed. My house is spotless, so I guess Nathan was stressed too (he cleans when he’s stressed).

In any case, we sent Amy to school this morning and settled down to wait for the doctors to organise things. Of course, then Amy got sick and needed to come home. It was her first day back in over a week. Sigh,

I don’t do waiting well, for the record. I get grumpy and I can’t settle. Waiting is not my forte.

Our GP finally managed to get in contact with the Paed at the hospital, only to discover she was actually in on an emergency surgery and unable to organise anything right that minute. The GP will hopefully speak to her in a few hours, to work out when they can see Evelyn. Failing that, he’ll talk to one of her collegues, to organise a plan that way.

The GP is hoping we can be seen tonight or tomorrow, without having to go through the Emergency Department. Which is great news, as Evelyn has even more episodes and everyone’s stress levels rise.

So, that’s basically it. Ev is still seizing regularly and sleeping pretty constantly. The hospital wheels are in motion and hopefully I’ll have an update soon that involves more information.

Until then, we wait. All together.

**UPDATED**

Our GP has spoken to the Paeds team and the plan at this stage is to take Evelyn into Emergency first thing tomorrow morning (Tuesday), along with a letter from him. That way she can be seen by the paediatric team and tests can be started.

Wish us luck.

Oh, SO MUCH love to you Veronica. This just sucks, and it’s not fair. I hope Evelyn gets attended to promptly and properly. Bloody hell. Nothing’s ever easy. Love to you and all of your family.

That sucks. Poor thing. A friend of mine had that happen to her son, and he’s fine now. I don’t know what caused it, as he’s about 8 or so, now. But he’s super bright and healthy. So, that’s what I hope is the case for E, too.

Alison September 3, 2012 at 5:15 pm

Crossing everything I possibly can here and hoping for a speedy diagnosis of something simple and quickly cured or at the very least easily treated until cured.

I hope they figure this out soon! And you can go back to blogging about ducks and baby cuteness or something. 🙁

shygirl September 4, 2012 at 8:42 am

hang in there. I thought that adding one child to two would be a breeze, but it ends up like you say – there is always someone sick or spilling or up all night. It does get better as they get older, mine are proof of that. wishing healing thoughts for all of you!

Stimey September 4, 2012 at 9:10 am

Sending love and good wishes your way.

I want so much to comment articulately, but I keep having heart-wrenching flashbacks to my own time in the NICU.

I pray (and if you knew me, you’d understand how significant that is) that she improves, that your life becomes hectic in different and better ways, and that you will have silly stories about your youngest daughter wearing cereal bowls as a hat or creative permanent marker art on her arms/legs/clothes/bedroom wall to tell soon. May you and yours return to the regularly scheduled humdrum of life, and may you return there soon.

Sharon A. September 4, 2012 at 8:02 pm

All the best, Veronica. May you have some answers (ones you want to hear) very soon

Marita September 4, 2012 at 8:34 pm
