Owen was unwell the night before. He complained of a sore knee, swollen neck glands and had a limp that seemed to come and go.
Off to the Doctors for a check up and a day off school. Dr Molloy was concerned having seen Owen 4 weeks earlier, with the same swollen glands. He ordered blood tests then and found nothing unusual. A new set of blood tests were ordered, with results expected on Monday. A phone call came through at 6pm from the clinic, telling us to go straight to the Royal Children's Hospital. We were told to pack for an overnight stay, and that Owen's bloods showed severe anaemia. We knew that things were not good.....
The unfortunate news was broken to us at 10pm, then we broke the news to Owen, who bravely took it all in.
