A really bad day

I have 2 things I want to blog about, Nates birthday, and the last 24 hrs. But I will begin with the the most recent of the 2.
On Thursday my husband went to our local hospital for some day surgery- the removal of a pilonidal sinus, an infected hair follicle in the bottom region which has been driving him mad for months. His appointment letter just said to turn up at midday, and explained he needed a general anaethetic but had no other info on about the procedure, aftercare, when he could return to work and sports etc. The procedure took a while and as the day surgery centre shut at 8 they basically chucked him out, still bleeding lots, saying the nurse would be out the next day. He had an uncomfortable night, and was still bleeding lots. The nurse came and packed the wound in the afternoon. But shortly after he started bleeding profusely, gushing with blood. At the same time Nate was extremely snotty and making a wheezing/ whooping noise when breathing. It got to the point whereby my husband was going in an ambulance to one hospital and Nate was with me and my dad going to another. I felt torn but as a parent and wife but my kids must always come first. So we sat in the RVI with Nate, while my husband was in the QE. I was kept updated my his mam as he was very weak and unwell. Nate, apart from the noises and snot seemed ok and after being checked by the paeds registrar we were sent home.
Nate has to go on a nippy ventilator at night, and I needed to do that so I still couldnt be with Michael. The hospital decided he needed emergency surgery to tie off blood vessels, and it worked. He had a settled night and came home this morning.
I can't describe my horror and stress at having my husband cover the floor with blood, try to keep my 4 yr old from seeing it, get her sorted for an emergency sleepover and away before the ambulance arrived, and pack bags for Michael and Nate. But I managed......just! Fortunately parents and in laws were avaiable to step in otherwise I really don't know what I would have done.
I felt, and still feel awful that I wasn't with Michael in hospital, but it was never an option to ignore Nates symptoms. Bless the nurse in the rvi who took one look at me and my dad, told us to sit down while she got us both a cuppa :) they got Nate seen and us home as quick as they could when they realised what was going on with Michael. Hopefully Nate fights off this bug he has or we could end up back there.
I really don't like drama. It felt like an episode of casualty, but with more blood!
