Neil and I had to take Gabby to hospital last night. I put her to bed about 8ish with some panadol and vicks (since we had such a shocker the night before). A couple of hours later I heard some God-aweful coughing. I ran in to see if she was ok and she was struggling to breathe. Really scary. So Neil and I jumped into the car and took her straight to the hospital.
Once there she got worse (I think because of all the strangers poking and prodding her). They ruled out asthma straight away. Gave her some steroids and stuff to help clear her airways and that seemed to help. She has croup. She was admitted last night. She was so tired and they kept wanting to check her... eventually I told them just to leave her be and let her sleep. She wouldn't sleep in the cot so I had her in with me until she fell asleep then I put her in the cot (difficult with a thingy attached to her toe... she hated that). She slept restlessly.... wheezing and coughing all night. She's much better today but still a little wheezy. Neil is at the hospital with her now while she's playing in the playroom (she's impressed). I'm at home for a shower etc. I feel like crap because I haven't had any decent sleep. It's making my m/s act up. I feel like I'm the one that should be in hospital! LOL
Ok... best be off.. hopefully we'll get to come home tomorrow (tho the Dr. said she has to have a good night before they'll let her come home).
Fi - Hamish is gorgeous! So tiny! Love the photos.
