Oh hun big squishy

Please don't feel bad, when you haven't seen it before you don't know what is happeneing and sometimes we don't realise how serious the condition could be.

The illness could have definitely brought it on

We had taken DD to ER on a couple of occassions with breathing issues, but they never left the sats monitor on long enough to actually realise that she was actually in trouble. The third time we went in I thought I was overreacting , she had chest recessions and a tracheal tug, and I even said to DH and DD, it's ok, we will be home in a couple of hours it's nothing major.

When the triage nurse saw us she said to sit down and a nurse would get her OB's then we would go through to ER, when it is her turn, no sooner had I sat down with her, a nurse came out took us straight through to resus we had a Dr, Pead and a couple of Nurses and the starting pumping the venotlin in, her saturations were in the low 80's and when it didn't work she was put straight onto O2, and they said she was being admitted and we would be home for a day or two. 5 days later we went home with a diagnosis on Pneumonits and Chronic mild asthma. After further testing it was revealed she actually had a mroe serious lung condition from either her birth or one of the respitatory infections she received earlier that year. But you can imagine how horrible I felt, and I would hate to think what would have happened if we didn't take her in when we did

I am glad that you have a diagnosis, a plan and you now know what to look for. Take care and you did an awesome job xxoo
