Not quite sure were to start with this one

Tuesday was well a busy day!

It started at the clinic for my seaman test, an experience in its self I must say. I have seen quite a bit of info regarding IVF from a woman’s perspective but not to much on what to expect as a man I was pretty nervous I must be honest. But the staff at the IVF clinic were very good. I was taken to a small room and asked to provide my specimen, it was all really strange. But I got the job done and we are now awaiting the results. I have had the test before but provided the sample at home and delivered it to the hospital. This was just one of those experiences I guess and far less of a job than poor Liz is going to have to go through.

The room itself was a pretty small room, just a bathroom really but with a sofa. I was told to make sure the door was locked, maybe they have had some embarrassing problems in the past Lets hope everything is ok anyway!

This all went to insignificance on Tuesday afternoon, my 12 year old fainted while paying out bumped his head and lost his short term memory. He was very dazed, scared and confused and I had to rush via ambulance to the hospital. He has fainted before due to his very fast growing spurt he has just gone through but it is a worry. This time he hit his head hard when he fell and lost his memory from the last week and didn’t remember any current events for that day. He was fine to chat to but 10 mins later he forgot about it. he forgot the ride to the hospital, getting to hospital, getting treatment. We had to keep explaining what had happened and he must have asked where his phone was about 100 times! It was very scary but after ECG’s and lots of tests they found nothing wrong with him. We are relieved he is ok but he has a specialist appointment as this has happened 3 times now only not with the memory loss.

His memory is now back which is great, we are just keeping him close by to make sure he is fully recovered. He doesn’t like this as he just wants to play out with his friends. It made us appreciate what we have even more that is for sure, we are blessed with these kids. I just hope the NHS come through and follow up quickly with the specialist and an MRI for the little man. When he has fainted before he has been fine almost straight after and we always get him checked by the local medical centre and hospital. They always say he is perfectly fine and his heart and ECG were great.

So what was a very weird start to the day ended very stress fully indeed and I was in hospitals for nearly the whole day. This is the main reason for my lack of blogging recently

I also had to go on the train to Dundee for work, that kept me busy and tired for a few days

We next go for our group meeting in the next few weeks.

I also took the forum off the site as I don’t see anyone using it in the near future.
