Memory lapse or child confusion.

I think lack of sleep and being too busy catches up with you eventually. I had a phone call that showed this up this week.

F has been referred to the Ehlers Danlos genetics service at Sheffield children's hospital and they ring up before hand for an in depth medical history and family tree.

All sounds ok up until now. Well the night before O had been up with tummy pain and needed her wheat bag heating. J had been awake and F's pump leaked all over himself. Leading to a very tired mummy.

So when the poor nurse started asking me questions my memory had gone. I kept forgetting things or getting mixed up on children lol.

I'd tell her about one thing then she would say "anything else" I'd say no, then she asked has he ever had a hernia? I'm saying oh no, not that I ..... Erm actually he does have an umbilical hernia. Then again I said nothing else so she asks if he has had his heart checked and yet again I had forgotten about his tachacardia and ECG's.

She must think that I'm stupid but I did get there in the end with her prompting so hopefully when we get the appointment they will know what is going on with F and see if they can help at all.
