Hospital (Again!)



It has been almost six months since James has been in hospital... so I guess I shouldn't have been suprised by having to make a trip to Katoomba hospital today.

James has had pain below his ribs for a few days now - but it has gotten drastically worse the last few days. After actually having to wait at the hospital (GASP! James is normally the second category - the first being immediately life-threatening - and so his normal wait is about 10 minutes max!) we got taken in and seen by the doctor who after an examination pronounced the pain "a mystery!". A canula was then put in, blood taken and a painful blood gas blood test also taken.

The results of his liver function test are apparently "abnormal" (whatever that means) and he probably has a liver infection. So he has been admitted so that the specialist can have a look at him tomorrow and hopefully work out what is causing it..... hopefully it isn't contagious!!!

good luck with the tests, and get better soon James. Don't let my little sister beat you up like this... you don't have to tell the doctor it's "mystery liver pain"... just tell them liz has been beating you up, and I'm sure they'll understand and help!! :-P
