Paranoid mum

Well look at me posting on my phone
Today was to be a normal trip port flush and out. We arrived and all was good. Then we tell staff about her tummy and they get the resident to check her over. Weight etc done no issues. Dr makes appointment for friday ultrasound and to see attending. our dr is away on holidays with his family. They access port no issues flush but still trouble drawing bloods. Not a big deal as we dont get bloods. They de access and the dr walks in wanting bloods argh so re access and try again. No luck so we go down stairs for finger prick and to wait out getting a urine sample. The hospital has an open day so we check it out. All good alex was in the back when they filmed a bit for kerryann show hehe. Still all good she pats animals and we wash hands. She gets face painted still all good. Off to toilet to get that sample so we can go home she starts saying her face hurts so i took off the face paint. She said her head hurts still we got sample took it in and she coughed that was it she threw up all over herself 3 times some one gave me a towel [the only day we have no spew bag] ring onc to see what they sugest and back to banksia outpatience we go. Get isolated incase it is a tummy bug. Wait around to see 3 dr's her bloods are iffy white cells elevated etc and keytones in her urine. At first we get told can go home and keep fluids then they say no due to looking at her chart. They bought forward ultrasound to tomorrow now. She is on iv anti biotics over night with fluids to keep her hydrated. Port access went well second time with blood draw too. Now waiting on a bed and see what is ahead of us tomorrow.
