Always when I think everything is going well in this family something happens. What have we done to deserve it.
Today I thought all was going so well. Then my daughter in law phones. I could hear that something was wrong. Can Freyja stay with you for a while she said. Yes, of course. Is something the matter.
Yes Þór got stung by a junkies needle she said. I don't know the whole story yet. Only the children were playing outside and he found a bag and opened it.
He is only 5 years old. Oh god and we are going to Bularia in a few days. Adda took him for a blood test and I don't know anything else yet. There was the time I went with her to the doctors and she asked me to but now she said her friend would go with her when I offered it.

    Oh, my dear, dear Skald!!  I am terribly sorry to hear about this!  I will pray right now that dear Thor will not have picked up any disease.  I send you all the loving thoughts possible during this time.  Keep strong and let us know.
     
    All my love, Polar

    I have to back up what gingersoul said.  I've known several kids and adults who were stung and all had happy endings.  I will keep your Thor in my thoughts until his happy ending is realized.
  • skald said on May 29, 2007....
    Thank yo guys. He is still at the hospital and has got an injection aginst hepatitis c. He will have anohter in a month and then another later. They are still running tests and talking to the mother. They have to find the police men who came to the spot. Someone phoned and they have to research on the stuff the police has now taken with them.
    Freyja will sleap here. She has an exam tomorrow.
  • secretlife said on May 29, 2007....
    skald:  i know it's going to be some months before they can say to you with certainty that he is going to be fine.
     
    but i believe he will be fine.
    this is why we have gray hairs though....because it's one worry and then another and another..
    i add my prayers to those out here for your sweet grandson and for you as well, that you may have peace of mind.
  • skald said on May 29, 2007....
    Thank you all agan.they are still at the hospital. They were waiting for some medication. The staff did no know who big the dose should be. I think they were coming to give it to him now when I phoned. then they can finally go home. It is so unusual here that this happens that they did not know how big the dose was to be. Adda and Þór have not had anythinig to  eat and it is almost 11pm. they are both very tired. Freyja is asleep here and she said I wish it had be me instead of him. we told her we do not whish so and that this is an accident and we wish that he had not had it.
    Adda just phoned as I am writing, finallu after 4 hours they got out of the hospital thy waited one and a half hour to get in still they were put for others. then the nurse was on the net for hours looking for this dose saying it was so unusul this.Talking about that her shift was over.

    the girl who oned this stuff was found and will be researched for illnesses.

  • boyzmom said on May 29, 2007....
    That is so scary! That is why I am always telling the kids not to pick up garbage. I hope the little one is okay after all this scary stuff but better safe than sorry.
  • rupert7 said on May 29, 2007....
    Skald I would like to add my concern and well wishes to those already hear. If these junkies must have their drugs,I wish they would be more careful about their needles and not leave them around for little kids to find.Or any body else for that matter.
  • CreativeWoman said on May 30, 2007....
    How scary!  I hope everything turns out for the best.  I said a little prayer for him.

    Skald.

    I've never had any experience with this but from what others are saying. Also from the only experience I've heard of. Thor should be okay (hopefully). It will take sometime to know for sure though. I hope that everything works out for your family and you.

     

    Take care. :)

  • copsunited said on May 30, 2007....

    skald

    I am sure the original message got mistranslated when you wrote

    STUNG..and not STUCK. Needles stick..bees and wasps sting,

    Or Stung by a bee. Sorry . I am not being picky but I noticed some are not understanding that "stuck" by a needle..a used needle can carry all sorts of implications such as aids, etc. Your concerns are legitimate and it may take months to find out if there is any real damage.

    Having said all that..less than 2 % of people accidentally stuck by a needle are prone to get a disease from the needle.

    luvs ya JD

  • skald said on May 30, 2007....
    Polar,Ginger ,Ed,Unicq, Secret,Sweet, Boyzmom, Rupert, CW, Manisson, Tazcat, and allswell.  I want to thank you all., also Botoni and Tin which I answered induvidually.  It is so good to find you good will towards my little grandson. Let´s hope for the best. 
  • skald said on May 30, 2007....
    Cops. You must have writetten at the same time as I. yes he got stuck and at the moment when I wrote I was not thinking straight. Thank you so much. I think I will write this all over again I was rather incoherent yesterday. 
  • skald said on May 30, 2007....
    cops. I´ve been looking up the words stick and sting and the confusion is that in middle English it would mean what I said and im my language the compairable word des. Stinga. Thanks cop. 
  • copsunited said on May 30, 2007....

    Gotcha...by no means changes the seriousness of the event.

    I KNEW what you were saying...but not sure others did.

    Still praying and thinking of you..luv ya..JD

  • skald said on May 30, 2007....
    Cops. Thank you. I have updated my story so it is not so incoherent anymore. I woke up with a bad feeling. It is not the first time. Things have been happening in this family endlessly for about 15 years. Bless you Cops luv

    oh dear skald....I will hold you and yours in my heart.  I know how worried you must be.  I also live in a family where it seems a lot of things happen.  Big hugs for you and Thor and your daughter and please try to rest.  I'll be praying for a positive outcome to all of this.  I was just talking to my grandson who is also five about this last week about if he ever sees a used needle on a playground or a play area never ever EVER pick it up but to tell a grownup.  Oh I so hope he's okay. Hugs, Love Missu

  • truthsayer said on May 30, 2007....
    Dear skald:
     
    I was the Dir. of Planned Giving for the AZ Easter Seal Society many years back.  My main office was in downtown Phoenix.  People 'shot up' all over behind our building, in the alley and across the alley/street...I found needles all the time.  The first time I carried a baggie inside; I had never been that close to this kind of thing.  They told me never to touch them again. 
     
    The police asked that we call them, tell them where they were, but that we were never supposed to touch them again...I touched it to throw it away because there were also poor children that walked around down there, with their skate boards, bikes and walking.  I didn't want them to find/touch them.  I called the police regularly after that...became sort of a pest, I am sure ; ) 
     
    I bet your grand children will never touch them again.  I hope, trust and pray that they will be fine...no problems.  Keep your faith strong and let us know how they are.  I pray and believe with you, that they are fine and well...unaffected, except that they will be much more careful and less curious now!

  • skald said on May 30, 2007....
    Truthesayer.  I am sure þór will always remember this. Freyja never touched it. Thank you so much for your story. I am glad that you did not catch anything either an it was good of you to phone the police and think of the children. Thank you for that too. All children are our children.

  • varada said on Jun 04, 2007....
    I am sorry, I dont get the entire picture. Do you mean the needles I mean used needles lay scattered all over so that unvary children can pick them up out of curiosity? This is dangerous. That is irresponsible to throw away the needle after use. Who does it? The person who used it, or the hospital authorities? Or they dump it in the trash and the children go and pick them up while playing. Needles used can carry anything from hepatitis to HIV or STD. Children who play in the fields may out of curiosity pick them up. Dangerous situation.
  • skald said on Jun 04, 2007....
    Varada.  Junkies hide things and that junkie did hid her syringe outside to pick it up later. I f you want to get the picture read my update on Þórs accidenet. IIt is the next post to this one.
