hello ladies...

god what a night mare! my son has had a funny cough and problems breathing when we went to doctors they refered him to hospital as his tempreture was off scale and he was really struggling to breath!
all the nurses freaked when we arrived saying he had swine flu and they all put on funny masks and gowns like in a alien movie! then decided he had Croup... inflamation of the voice box which can lead to death if not seen too

he was given steriods and a chest xray and we stayed in the ward... his oxygen level was sooo low they said if it dropped any more he would have to go on the oxygen.
more steriods werew given and more obs eventually his awful sounding cough stopped and so did his course breathing and were home! now i just have to keep an eye and make sure it dont come back!!!!
