This morning I was delighted to receive the letter of apology from Galvez Hospital, where they admit that they had not checked baby Aiy�la as per their own protocol. At the time of reading the letter, I actually thought that life might be taking on some kind of normality.
Clearly I was wrong.
Earlier this week, I went to the local health centre to register the baby so she could be seen by a pediatrician. Unfortunately we failed, as we noticed that the children's hospital in Malaga, sent Kyla and the baby home with the wrong patients details. Our medical form with all the medical history was for a child called 'Mohammed'. With all the paperwork ( and anyone having any kind of experience with any authorities in this country, will understand when I say ' with the huge amount of paperwork' Kyla and Dan received, they did not notice that they were given the wrong paperwork.
This meant that the local health centre would not / 'could not' register Aiy�la and therefore no pediatrician would see her. Kyla had an appointment to see the doctor in the Malaga hospital tomorrow for a heart and leg scan as well as blood test. That was the plan.
But, this morning Kyla noticed that the leg with the Thrombosis was swollen and red. Kyla has been giving Aiy�la daily injections in her leg. ( I take my hat off to her, I am not sure I could do it, but as there are no health visitors or any other nursing support here, parents have to do it) We really thought the injections were helping, but then why is the leg swelling up suddenly. They took the baby back into Malaga hospital and are waiting to see a pediatrician who will also hopefully carry out a leg scan.
I just want this lovely beautiful baby girl to be alright. We all do. I can't remember being more stressed then I am right now. Watching the suffering and not being able to do anything about it, is so awful.
I am due to have Herceptin again tomorrow ( if my veins are ok), but actually just want to be with Kyla, Dan and the baby.
Someone please give us a break! Enough is enough!
