So. I feel a bit crap for whining about last week now...
Sunday night, snotty Nate had a bottle. Snotty Nate was sick. Snotty Nate ended up travelling by ambulance to the RVI ( which, incidentally, took 23 mins to arrive). He has a virus, and a bacterial infection, and may have aspirated some of his sick, though they aren't sure. His oxygen levels went scary, and our valve for oxygen only goes up to 1.5, so when even that wasn't helping we were extremely panicked, especially as the ambulance seemed to be taking forever.
He has pulled round quite quickly, and the drs are satisfied it's a one off even if it is aspiration. They mentioned the trace done on Friday to prove he was ok enough to wean off oxygen showed that yes he was, and we could continue when he has recovered from this illness. So that's good anyway. Nurses and drs lovely as usual. Nate has lots of "aunties" on the ward.
Thea has coped extremely well with this hospital stay. The normality of the school day has clearly helped. Nate has bought her Xmas presents during his hospital stay- 2 books by the author Rebecca Elliott about a brother and sister, the sister is disabled and needs frequent hospital stays. Many other presents have been bought online during this stay. The practicalities of life can't stop because we are stuck in here.
Im sitting here in his room, blogging, waiting for his dad and sis to arrive. :)
Escaping hopefully tomorrow :)
Sorry that you are all having to go through this and glad you got home finally on Friday x
