Sam has been struggling with his chest for a while but has always been well in himself and happy. He had a chest infection before Christmas and was till wheezy so we took him back and he had another infection so had a second course of antibiotics and inhaler four times a day and he had to go back when he finished the antibiotics. At which point his chest was clear so he went down to his inhaler twice a day and then back in a week. When we went back on Tue his wheezy was back so the doctor increased his inhaler back to four times a day and wanted to see him on Thurs.
So we took him back why he had been out of sorts on Tue and tired on wed he was still his normal happy self. But his chest was worse than on Tue so we got sent to Whiston with him. Why we knew he wasn't seriously ill we were still worried something about seeing your baby in a hospital cot. After a wait he in which he was really wheezy and unhappy but eventually slept. So when he was seen he was his laughing and happy self. But he still had a wheezy but cause he wasn't struggling they were not concerned they said it was probably a viral wheezy and he had two big doses of his inhaler and then was seen by a doctor who helpful said if it helps give him the inhaler if not dont. As it also could be asthma but they cant diagnose it till he is older we got the lecture on Teddy's and carpet in his room.
But at least we could escape. But even though he wasn't very ill it was still a scary and worrying day for us. He still has to see a respiratory paediatrician but hopefully it will start to improve.
