01/04/11Bad week
So. Not blogged for a few days as pie took a turn for the worse. He seemed on Tuesday so I came home for a night and hubbie came in. The night was ok hubbie went to work wednesday morning and I dropped squeekles at pre school, picked her up,dropped her at my mams and made my way over to hospital.....
Walked into ward to find pie on his ventilator looking seriously ill. Nurse hooking up to iv for fluids and it was awful. I got such a shock. I hadn't hurried over to hospital as he had been ok.the guilt was unimaginable. Pie had come off his vent and then suddenly started turning pale, blue by the time the drs got there. He had apparently blocked an airway with mucus and it was quickly rectified by repositioning and hoofing up the oxygen. But it gave everyone a hell of a shock. The rest of the day was pretty awful. Things werent looking good.
He has a viral infection - human metapneumovirus. And it made him very Ill. They tell me day 5 is the worst and that was Wednesday when his turn happened. He's fed with an ng tube at the mo while he recovers. Today he is looking better, playing and being stroppy. More pies usual self. So hopefully he's on the road to recovery....
I'm braving going home again tonight. He better behave!!!!!!
On a positive squeekles got into the primary school we wanted - literally 2 mins away.
So now looking forward to mothers day in hospital... My first mothers day as a mam of 2
So that's the short short version, add many tears and sleepless nights and that pretty much sums things up...
Pie, when your older I will relate to you your dramatic first year of life through my blog, you monkey!
