I was recently within days ago told that i have a.l.l. I went to my dr. with regular knee pain and had regular blood work done but within hours of the lab work im being told to go to the hospital asap. I was admitted and my 7 year old son freaked out bad, he had never seen his mom in a hospital nor ever need one.
I have tried to explain to him about my A.l.l. as he is very smart, but everyday his school calls, he is falling behind in his work, he wont listen to the teacher anymore, and when he is around me all he wants to know is if and when i will die? is this normal for a 7 year old, and if so what do i do or say to him to help comfort him so he will get back to a some what normal routine with school etc. again.
I have tried just about everything i can think of to say to him to make him feel better but it only seems to make it worse each day that he brings it up.
Im lost without words. please help. and god bless.
