    First hospital admission for winter

    My gorgeous girl has been admitted to hospital for asthma
    I was hoping for a hospital free winter but not to be.
    Hopefully the stay will just be a short one and a little help and rest in hospital is what she needs.

    Hugs hunny. How are you going to manage all the other kids and be with DD. Being single does have it's drawbacks sometimes. Hope she doesn't have to be in long.

    hope your DD is feeling better soon

    don't forget to get some rest yourself, you don't want to run yourself into the ground

    She is a little better this morning, she was on o2 last night it was taken off about 8am this morning.
    We will be in here tonight also, if she can stay of o2 we can go home tomorrow...so it is wait and see.
    Her pead knows her well and we have been seeing him sine she has come home...he is really nice and trust him.
    She still has a wheeze and cough but they are trying to stretch her ventolin out to two hours to see how she copes.
    The nurses love that she knows what she is doing, she lifts up her top to let them hear her chest and she pops the o2 prop on her finger...she is an old pro (kind of sad as well as cute)

    Hugs hunny. How are you going to manage all the other kids and be with DD. Being single does have it's drawbacks sometimes. Hope she doesn't have to be in long.
    My Ex has been good he took her in last night while I stayed with the others, I skyped with the doctor and nurse to pass on her history and what has been happening so I felt I was still helping.


    hope your DD is feeling better soon

    that's good news that she's a little better today. i hope she can manage without the oxygen & can come home. hope you're hanging in there ok too

    and how awesome that you can skype the dr & nurses - it's great to see flexibility in communication.

    Thanks Sloane.
    My ex had his laptop and mobile internet...the staff thought it was great, not something they usually do.
    My DD2 loved being able to see her sister...they are only 11mths apart and very close they don't like being apart.

    She is sleeping now, the clown doctors came in earlier and brought a bit of cheer with them. It is such a great idea for the kids.

    I am really hoping this is our one and only admission for winter...fingers crossed. (this is her 8th or 9th admission since she came home...and most of them were min a week )
