A Trip to the G.P

As Geoff's cough has carried on a bit past his course of Anti-biotics, we thought it was time to visit the G.P again.
So what do we end up with this time ? Only an inhaler for Asthma which he needs to take morning and evening.
Thats another Ailment we can add to his list and more medical supplies for his cuboard.
Geoff worked himself up tonight as he thought it was going to be a bit like the oxygen mask, it took a bit to calm him down by my o/h and he realised what a quick burst it was and didn't hurt.
Well I think we have a clear couple of weeks till his next E.N.T appointment in London, at least Geoff will get to see Bert the Goat again.

Another 5 minute appointment !

Its Friday already and it was on Monday that we went to London for a Hospital appointment.
I didn't write sooner as I'm getting a bit lax at this blogging malarkey, though I have added a couple of posts on my other blog, which is turning into to my Computer Blog.

Back to Monday and it was a afternoon appointment at 1530hrs, which ran a little late so we saw the Consultant at 1630hrs, so much for me thinking we might get home for 1700hrs.
We hadn't seen this Consultant for a few years, as he had taken time out to do work in some other country, and so there was quite a bit of change in Geoff for him to see, and it made his day because when he last saw him, Geoff was classed as failure to thrive.
I didn't mention that it was a Gastro appointment, not that Geoff's peg was looked at, in fact its a pity we couldn't do a video appointment as Geoff looses a lot of School time with all these appointments and illnesses, in fact since Geoff started School in February he has only had a 48% attendance rate.
That was the appointment over and another one made, which will have us in London again on 22nd December ( though we have appointments with our other Consultants coming up).

We should of Headed straight back for the train, instead of stopping for a drink and then catching the Rush hour at Waterloo Station, though we did get a seat.

Geoff did get to feed the goats again, Cabbage this time as they don't like carrots.

Megan Teaching Geoff to swim

Just thought I would add a video of Megan teaching Geoff to swim, as you can hear, he was concerned with getting the water in his mouth.
The Pool wasn't very warm either, though it has been nice to get in and cool off in the evenings.

Another Sleep Study and ECG

Yes it has been quiet and have not added anything to my blog, but now we have just had a two night stay in London for Hospital stay, I have a bit more to write.

The day started out fine as we got to London and booked in to our Hotel, well almost fine as the pushchair did break its leg as we got off the bus. perhaps it was an OMEN, but for what ? ( other than don't buy cheap pushchairs from ARGOS).
As it was a sleep study, we only had to book Geoff into the Hospital and then we were free to take him away till the evening.
I took Geoff to feed the goats at Coram Fields, and I brought a cabbage this time, which went down very well and then Geoff had a play in the park area.
I recieved a phone call from my o/h, who was quite distraught as she had had her purse stolen in Hospital, while she was getting the travel money re-inbursed.
I didn't get the full story then.but Imogen asked me to keep Geoff in the park a bit longer while she tried to sort things.
I was getting near the exit to the park when I received a phone call from Ed, who had a phone call from some man who said he had the wallet at the front desk in the Hospital, I assumed he mean't the security at the front desk. so I headed that way.
Well it wasn't at the front desk. but Ed passed on the phone number of the man who had rung, which is when Imogen and the Security Staff appeared and received the wallet off a Muslim couple.
What had transpired was that when Imogen was sorting her bag and paper work out after receiving the travel money back was that she had walked away shortly, only to realise that she had left her purse, when she returned to the office,she was pointed in the direction of a woman in a black thingy that only reveals the eyes, making a fast exit.
Imogen gave chase but lost her, but it was revealed that the women was from a ward next to ours.
It was obvioulsy a random thing as when the Security closed in, they must of got scared and having gone through the purse, rang Ed who's number was in there, saying that they had found it.
Well all was fine apart from a bit of money missing, not worth calling the Police in for though.

So back to Geoff who stayed the night in Hospital, and while we were getting ready the next morning, he rang us on his mobile phone at 0615.
Yes it is strange for a 6 year old to have a moblile phone, but anything to improve his speech problems is a good thing !

We should of settled for the goats and the park again, but had mentioned the Bumper cars at the Trocodero centre to Geoff, which is where we went the afternoon after his sleep study.
Unfortunately when we found the Bumper cars, he was to small still to go on them, and so we had to make do with the Arcade machines.

Our Friday appointment, which we thought was Cleft and Palate, was only a speech therapy which though very important to Geoff. we could of if known arranged it so we didn't have to stay the extra night in london.
I have to say that while we were in for the speech study. I realised that I had left Geoff's hearing aids hanging form the mirror in the Hotel we had booked out that morning, and which Imogen had said the night before that I wouldn't remember them there.So I had to rush over and recover them.
We then travelled home and had to go out to complete the shopping for our Daughters 13th Birthday which was today the 6th.
