Here I feel there would be a delay in the ambulance even getting to us.  They are two blocks down and always, always take half an hour!  Then it would take some minutes getting him inot the ambulance and also ten minutes to get to A&E.  It was also a worry that should he be with any other adult, that they would not quite understand the seriousness of the situation and things would be delayed on arrival into A&E.  We are looking at an hour in total here I felt.  That would not be good enough in my opinion.  Having suffered shock and felt shaken then vomited shortly after an injury myself, knoing how I felt at the time, somehow I have a bad feeling about how long it would take for a child to get seriously ill in that scenario with CAH. 

Which kind of makes you feel anxious and uneasy about school time as they cannot inject there and he spends the vast majority of his waking hours during the week there.  He has another few months at this school and then it is onto Intermediate, so I find it will be useless to push it at the current school, but I will definately be pushing for training of a jab in the next school from January onwards.  I will have to pick him up and drop him off anyway as it is some considerable distance from our home and one has to cross a rail track to get there which there is no foot bridge or tunnel under.  So basically, he may not be as open to injury as he is presently when he roller blades home!   Except of course when he does games and sports of course.
