Day 8 in hospital and HRH is getting used to it now. He will have an MRI on his hip tomorrow and I really hope this gives us answers. I was shocked yesterday to see the muscle atrophy in his legs, in particular his left leg (his left hip seems to be the problem). Both his legs are considerably thinner, but his left leg looks like a match stick, with his knee being the head of the match! Even if we get some idea of the problem tomorrow we still have a long road ahead of us as he will need intensive physio and assistance to build up his muscles and walk again.
HRH has been given cream for his skin as his excema started to flare up a little with the heat of the hospital. It is very good cream apparently and has urea in it. So my burning question is..........where do they get the urea from? Is it synthesised, animal or human. Do staff in the factory have to donate their pee and is it in their contract to so so? (being on site and all)

Love the tshirt

....hang in there....I am very sure the voices in your head are quite clever and wise.
Still praying for you to keep your strength and for some answers and relief for HRH!
Try not to think about where the pee comes from, it will only drive you crazy. Hope you get some answers.
I'm with Flannery. Best not to think too much as to the origins of the urea.
Still praying for you and HRH.
I'm with the two wise ones, don't think about it. If it works that's all what matters.
Hugs and warm thoughts.
Keeping my fingers crossed for some answers Jen
Many hugs
I want to think the urea is synthetic. Main thing is that he's getting some relief, though.
I surely hope they find some answers tomorrow!
=)
I agree with Sue, I WANT to think that so I will follow the wise peoples recommendations :D Thanks for dropping by everyone:) Jen
Thinking of you and praying.
Ohh Jen, you and HRH are really going through it. I will continue to pray for all the family.

Oh dear... you need to get out of there QUICK...your mind is going to places it shouldn't!!
Best of luck tomorrow Jen and to your wonderful HRH. He's being such a brave little soldier....

Praying for some answers and treatment for your little HRH!! Please let the MRI show the way back to health! Just be glad that cream is helping. :)
Hope you get to escape from the hospital soon..and with some answers and a treatment plan xx
I have a candle lit for you. And I fully agree with the sentiments on the t shirt XXX
Don't go there, just be thankful the urea will do its job. Hope the MRI will finally give you much needed answers. Hope HRH will be back to his normal self tout suite!
Still hoping for you guys. I hope the MRI gives you some answers. You have been through so much. Sending you lots of hugs.
I hope all goes well and they figure this out! Best wishes!
Jen,
You have enough to worry about without worrying about urea, so I googled to get your answer.
1. Where does the Urea in Eucerin® come from?
The urea (at room temperature a white and odourless powder) in Eucerin® is synthetically produced from inorganic salts and does NOT come from any animals or humans.
I hope they finally figure out how to help the little guy so he can start his road to recovery.
Sending hugs and prayer!

I love the fact that D.S.Walker (above comment) googled urea for you - the amazing kindness of blogger friends. Fingers crossed for you and for the little guy - you must keep on hanging in there! Hugs.
Thinking of you and yours...thinking you have got to be out of your mind with worry..I wish I had some sage advice for you..just know that we are all here and sending the best possible thoughts your way..(())) You'd think that since it is synthetic-they would come up with a different name.."Noturea"? "I can't believe it's not urea"?
I hope you get some answers soon. Thinking of you both. xx
I can't believe that baby is still in the hospital. Hang in there. I'm praying for you and especially for him.
I am sorry that you have been in for so long I really hope you get some answers soon xx
OMG. I hate when my browser decides to stop giving me new posts. No matter how many times I click "Home" or on the header. What a pain in the butt! I miss so much.
I'm so glad someone answered the urea question. Mad has ecsema.. exsema... ugh.. That skin thing too. I would be interested to know how many of "our" kids have it. Hmm.. Anyway, we too use Eucerin. I love that stuff. You pay a pretty penny for it though.
I hope you finally get some answers, Jen. I can't imagine dealing with all of this.
I've been catching up on HRH's troubles: so sorry to hear what he's going through! It sounds like he's finally getting the priority attention that he needs & deserves. Thinking you both; hope you're doing OK x
Any answers yet? I didn't see any new posts but maybe I missed something. Poor baby! You must be so freaked out Jen. Still thinking about you everyday.
We are also having medical issues, Jaylen's eyesight is almost gone in his left eye. We see a 2nd specialist on Tuesday.
