We just got out of hospital today. She tested positive for both strep tonsillitis & glandular fever.
She's alot better now, but went through hell in hospital.
They tried for about an hour to get the first canula in, after about 6 hous she complained it was hurting, & we discovered it was going into tissue. So 2 lots of penicillin & all the iv fluids were wasted.
The next morning they tried the canula again. After an hour of trying & her still feeling it after 2 shots of anesthetic they gave up.
Tried for another 40 minutes to get a nasal gastric tube down, but her throat was too swollen & they couldn't do that either.
Tried all day to get fluids into her. Lemonade, juice, water...nothing. And not one single wee. That night they got the tube down & it finally got easier.
My poor baby
Oh Skye! What an experience! I hope she is doing much better now. And how are you doing? It must have been hell for you. Glad to hear you're home though.
