Hi there Irish Rose and welcome to our forum! It's great to have you with us ... and what a story!

I'm SO glad your little man was okay in the end ... January last year my little man (he was just 6 at the time) contracted a really awful gastro virus and was losing bodily fluids from both ends at breakneck speed. Within 12 hours he was in hospital on a drip ... and spent the next six days in there trying to recover. It's frightening to think of losing our little ones isn't it!

As for the lack of care or concern ... it's more widespread than you realise. Unless you're exceptionally 'spiritually minded' ... the attention tends to wane off unless the elders have felt the need to poke their noses in if 'the blood issue' or something else equally 'exciting' arises.

You are well done of that lot honey ... I'm SO pleased your husband supported you 100% too! Hope you enjoy your visits in here
