Home for 30 mins and then heading back. What a friggin day.
Thanks everyone. OK, where to start....
I was told today that my little boy has asthma... last night was a serious attack, worse Ive ever seen in anyone and he's staying another night. He's comfortable but tired and doesnt like hospitals. Cried his heart out when I left to get cleaned up and changed for the night but I'm going back in a few to be with him
A few close friends in game sorta know a bit about my past and Leon's history. To cut a loooong story short, he spent a lot of time in hospital about 4 years ago with pneumonia. He was very very lucky to have recovered and it was a very hard time for all of us. His mum and I were told that his chest would always be weaker after the illness, prone to chest colds and so on so we've had to keep an eye on him through the years.. I'm a big fan of tickling my little boy and making him laugh a lot but I can't really do that much cos he starts coughing when he gets too giddy... things like that
Anyway, some of you know that the last few weeks, he's had a very bad chest cold, he's been on medication and his chest has been hurting him on and off... heart racing and so on and I've been worried sick about him. We've been keeping a close eye on him but it's been a lot better, chest clearing up the last week or so.
But last night, I got a call from his mum telling me that he's really struggling to breathe and can I come to take him to the hospital. I chose the wrong night to go for a drink with my mates and goof around in ao afterwards
( So I got a cab and headed up there. He was in and out of consciousness when I arrived and we went straight to the hospital.
Hospitals and little ones
((( It wasnt pleasant for him, he's been looked after, they managed to get him breathing ok again, he had a near as damnit comfortable night with us but its not nice seeing a little boy scared cos he's in one of those places and doesnt understand whats going on.
We're all tired, Leon more than anyone, he's upset and daddy's gonna go back and spend the night with him. Tomorrow, I'm going to talk to the doctor about his further medication when he gets home, takin care of him and so on. His bedroom at home is littered with teddy bears, feather pillows and other cuddly toys which are going to have to be kept away from him. We were told that he has no doubt been allergic to a lot of things with the illness and theyre gonna test him n stuff to find out.
*sigh* I'll sleep tonight
So just thought I'd pop by and let you all know that he's comfortable and looked after and all seems well
Now, I'm gonna go cuddle my baby boy

I'll see you all soon
