What a Start to the New Year

Our year ended with Alan not feeling so well, in fact since November Alan has been fighting an infection. At the beginning of January we went to hospital for Alan's annual review, he had been very tired and pale. The Dr had a look at him and he saw the physio, the Dr said they would try him with a new antibiotic to try and clear his infection which when he was on it seemed to help him a bit, but as soon as he came off it he was as bad as ever again.Alan was saying to me oh mum i just don't know why i feel like this he has never been so tired, so i rang them again and we took him up, they looked at him again and decided he needed iv's so he is currently having them at the moment, the physio in the hospital is doing a good job trying to get his lungs cleared.
he also has been having problems with his bowels, he has been having rectal prolapses all the time, they have already operated twice on him for this, but we are just waiting on word for them to see him again to see the plan, but we all know a operation will be needed.
He also has had to have a test for diabetes they think he is diabetic his sugar levels are too high , he had to have a cannula put in 8 times they tried because his veins are so bad. He was the bravest boy, we are still waiting on the results.

What a start to the year, here's hoping it gets better.
Although we have been helped immensely with the people from postpals they have been so kind to Alan and always can put a smile on his face no matter what and for that i am soooooo grateful .
