Finn was off school for a couple of days with some sort of virus. When he gets sick, he never really shows any symptoms, just gets a bit of a fever and slows down a bit - and it always seems to be worse come the evening. By Saturday morning, he seemed right as rain, so we set off to Flying Frogs in the morning.
I went to Raleys to get a couple of things, then went back to the gym and sat on the sofa. Finn came over and said he thought he was going to throw up - I told him to get some water, which he did and then he went into the restroom. He seemed to recover ok, without throwing up and then went back to join his group. 2 minutes later he was back saying he wanted to go home, so we headed out. Just as we were about to leave the building, he said he couldn't see, started throwing up and passed out in my arms! With help from one of the Flying Frog guys, we laid him on another sofa and he came round after about 30 seconds, but was still bugle-y and obviously not well.
2 minutes later and he was just fine - right back to his usual self!
It was pretty scary at the time. We called Kaiser and I spoke to a duty nurse who said we should take him in, so we got an appointment for the afternoon - sadly, I couldn't get it to coincide with my existing dressing-changing appointment, so I had to make 2 trips down.
Dressing change went fine and Finn's appointment put our minds at ease. Doctor said he was obviously fighting a virus and the activity at the gym had just been too much, so the body just shut down for a few seconds. Said to keep an eye on him and drink plenty of fluids.
So, tomorrow is my big day! Get issued with my pump and then at 12:30 it is down to Rohnert Park for the first radio-therapy session!
I can't say I'm not scared, but the logical part of my brain knows that the chances are everything will work out! I just need to do what they tell me and keep positive!
