LillCruiser Posted June 11, 2018 #28 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I’m so sorry to hear this. Being right by his side is what’s best. You’re doing the absolute right thing. I pray he’s better as soon as possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carolyn22 Posted June 11, 2018 #30 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hope they quickly find out what is going on and that your son will be on the road to recovery soon. If this had to happen, thank goodness it started before you got on the plane or on the ship. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fla33023 Posted June 11, 2018 #31 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Sending prayers that nothing too serious is wrong. I hope you're still able to do something fun. I can imagine he's been looking forward to this trip as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted June 11, 2018 #32 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I'm so sorry to read about what you are going through. As a parent myself I'd be a basket case with worry. Hoping they find out what is wrong and your son will be on the road to recovery soon. Sending good thoughts your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luminated67 Posted June 11, 2018 Author #33 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Good news, bladder is ok. The damage is in the urea tube but at the moment his blood pressure is on the floor so doubt the doctors would allow him to fly. He’s been looking forward to this holiday for months and in fact was giddy with excitement on Sunday night. I’m totally gutted to miss our first cruise but totally devastated for him.

LuCruise Posted June 11, 2018 #35 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Definitely won’t be making the holiday, one very sick wee man. Lost quite a bit of blood and has either fainted or had a couple of fits. Very scared SO very sorry. Thoughts are with your little guy for a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spleenstomper Posted June 11, 2018 #36 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Terrible to hear, hope he recovers quickly. I would call the insurance company ASAP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Click Posted June 11, 2018 #38 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a bit of advice. Keep very accurate records of your expenses, your time line and lots of documentation from the hospital and doctors. Having insurance is a very good thing, collecting on the policy can be very trying. Check with the airline to see if your canceled tickets still have any value, they may but there may be a change fee that would be covered by insurance. Make sure you have full records for the money you lost on the canceled hotel too. Most of all, take good care of your son and be thankful you spotted the problem before you were in the air.

swoopy2110 Posted June 11, 2018 #41 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Best wishes to you and your son and hope he gets better soon. You can go on holiday again when all is sorted, and have many future holidays together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare puppycanducruise Posted June 11, 2018 #42 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Well, now you know what is wrong and the doctors can plan to help him recover. Now, to start planning another cruise. Best wishes to you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdia43 Posted June 12, 2018 #43 Share Posted June 12, 2018 The silver lining in this is that it happened while you were still at 'home' rather than in the air, at your hotel or on the ship. Then it would have been so much more complicated to deal with. Wishing him a speedy recovery and I hope you get your cruise soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep very accurate records of your expenses, your time line and lots of documentation from the hospital and doctors.

The hospital cost aren’t a concern because it’s in Dublin Ireland which like the UK is part of the EU and we are covered. The holiday itself it more the concern, I paid the bulk through Credit card but the cruise part which was separate was paid by my debit card. The wife spoke with the surgeon last night who appeared to be happy with him despite the low blood pressure which they put down to he’s blood lose and lack of food and drink intake all day, so far he’s had either 6 or 8 litres of fluids and currently another 2 is going in. She (the surgeon) thinks he should be fit to fly later but will need to see the head of the department before that would be decided. I’m just happy to see him on the mend. Since 6am Sunday morning I’ve had a total of 4 hours unsettled sleep, 2 paper cups of tea and a kitkat. TOTALLY BUSHED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorben-Hendrik Posted June 12, 2018 #49 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hang in there.... very much hoping you will be able to go! (y) You still have a few days until your cruise! Hope your son gets better fast! All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ladylemondrop Posted June 12, 2018 #50 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hi, just wanted to check you have good travel insurance? They will cover your losses on the flights, cruise, all of it, contacting them is priority over calling RCL at this stage. They will handle everything too, so that you can stop worrying about the admin and concentrate on your son bless him, really hope that they can get him better, and that you can then plan to take the trip in the future. Its heartening to see so many kind messages of support here too! Take care. Louise. (loopylooloo ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
