no they havent done a bowel sample , they have done blood, stool, urine samples and scans.

his parents have just told me they are going to pay for the consultation , so thats good of them

dr said hes ok to go on holiday providing hes sensible with his eating and drinking, as hes managing to carry on as normal at the moment just got niggling pain most of the time, that increases from time to time :think

just waiting for the drs surgery to contact this private hospital to make sure its right consultant etc, shes going to ring me back later

Have you contacted your travel insurance to ensure that Oz is covered when he goes on holiday? This will now be a pre-existing condition.

we are going to contact the insurance co, but the dr thinks because we booked this holiday before oz became ill , he should still be covered, but i will definitely contact them as im sure they will get out of it if they can

not heard anything re my friend this morning, i feel numb in such shock over how that has happened so quickly, apparantly about 15 years ago he had a very bad bout of gladular fever and was given penicillin which he was allergic too, so he got rushed into hospital and it was touch and go then, which left his ammune system very low for the rest of his life, hence this possible urine infection have such a terrible reaction, im hoping for a miracle , he is such a lovely, kind ,caring and thoughful man

thx, waiting for big daughter to come over today, she taking me out for lunch, then we were going out for a meal with this couple tonight, ill still go with hubby but so sad,my oldest daughter is 34 weeks pregnant so thats something to look forward too at least. never felt so sad on my birthday before :cry

just heard from friends daughter hes still hanging on in, but they have told her hes dying, :(

private hospital told me they have a special rate package for self funding people to inc the bowel sample so will find out how much that is, after this has happened to my friend i think its worth paying for private treatment

Hi ,sorry to hear your husbands problems,I have bladder problems causing many infections ,therfore when you said occasional antibiotic drip ,I would query occasional antibiotics should be administered as a course ,ie 3, 7 01 days depending on the bacteria,best wishes and hope your hubby well soon,maxie

Hi Ellie-Meg
Firstly Happy Birthday!
Hopefully when your hubby sees a specialist, they will get to the root of the problem and can start the proper treatment to get him fighting fit again. It is worth every penny to get him sorted out asap.
I'm so very sorry to hear your news about your friend - but don't give up hope. You often hear of where all seems lost and then they make a miraculous recovery.
Take care.

Now I'm catching up with the previous few days posts Ellie-Meg. What a terrible time for you all. I'm sending my regards to Oz and also to your poor friend-so young too. I know it must seem trivial but I'm wishing you a Happy Birthday regardless.
