09/05/11Whirlwind of a day
Well. Where to begin. Today has been mad busy and it isn't over yet.
Nate has been snotty for weeks. But on saturday became much worse. We have been extremely worried as this is how all our hospitals stays begin. And much as I like the staff on ward 2 I could do without seeing them for a while!
Nate had a good night on his nippy. Didn't need more oxygen than normal. He woke this morning and when I transferred him from nippy to nasal canula his sats dropped loads. Fortunately we have a spangly new suction machine which sorted him out. But I was worried so we called the nurses ( who we could call at the weekend as their hours have been cut, thanks government). He's managing ok at the minute and we are on day 3 of whatever virus he has. Typically days 3-5 are the worst so we may still have problems and when Nate goes downhill he does it fast.
We had an insensitive ignorant bloke out to sort our energy certificate. He was "taken aback and shocked" at my beautiful son. He "thanked god for his two" and said when talking about a child he knew who had heart problems that "some things aren't meant to be". I am embarrassed to say apart from saying my son is
We had the estate agent out taking photos of the house today, and the for sale board is up. We are taking the advice of the very helpful adaptations department and trying to move as they don't want to help with space or storage of equipment.
Then we had some happy news nates respiratory consultant says we can wean him off oxygen when he's well, hooray!
