Following a rather energetic swimming lesson, Isaac was limpping Sunday night, by Monday morning he could barely walk and by lunchtime he couldn't bear his weight!
A visit to the doctor and an immediate referral for an Xray got us going into Lincoln again! (we had zipped in in the morning to drop off a load of donations for the Nomad Trust!)
Silly Mummy forgot the referral letter! In such a rush to get to the Xray day clinic before it closed. They couldn't see him without the letter..... So we went to A&E and following an examination was referred for... an Xray (at least the doctors were in agreement!) The registrar then came through to say no fractures or breaks but they would like to have him admitted to be seen by the othopeadic team. So Tom in Billinghay with four children and no transport (his van being in the garage) and the minibus in Lincoln hospital car park with Isaac and I staying on the children's ward. Bloods were taken and after being seen by the a junior we snuggled in for the night.
Isaac was somewhat apprehensive but we decided to tackle the unexpected enforced overnight stay as an adventure for him to recount to his teacher and school friends!
All was better this morning on waking, he was seen by another team of doctors who initially told Isacc he would be spending another night in bed! NOT a happy bunny. However although still limping he was weight bearing and with medication for pain management he managed to walk to the playroom and visit the teacher in the schoolroom! She gave him some jigsaws and some suitable worksheets which he set about to tackle back at his bedside.
By the afternoon the nurses decided that he would be allowed home but he had to promise NOT to play football, climb trees, ride his bike or run around until he goes back to the clinic in a fortnight.
Try telling an energetic little five year old he can't play football!!!
A lot happier now we are home, we are going to snuggle in for a good night's sleep!
