    DH had a massive asthma attack

    He's had a chest infection for a week and on Thursday went to the doctor as his asthma had been really bad also. GP put him on antibiotics and cortisone which hadn't helped. He's been using his nebuliser daily but this morning he could barely stand and said you'll have to take me to hospital. Whilst on his nebuliser I got the car out of the garage and told kids to quickly get dressed, go back into the bedroom and he's barely conscious. Ring 000 and the ambos were just gorgeous. I've just come back from the hospital, he's still waiting to see a doctor but at least I know he's being looked after. Was the scariest thing ever.

    Regards,

    It's not fun. My DH had Friday off work because he had a massive asthma attack on Thursday night and was so tired her couldn't get out of bed yesterday. It's the second in a week and he usually only needs his puffer once every 6 months. His is also related to being sick with the flu.

    I hope your DH recovers quickly and doesn't give you any more scares. It is a horrible experience. I hope you are doing okay as well and aren't too shaken by the whole thing.

    Thanks everyone, the kids were really frightened seeing their dad taken away in the ambulance. Will be taking them in later on to see him.

    That would have been awful for you all. Hope he is on the road to recovery.
