Update on rockclimbingtigger and J

rockclimbingtigger · Feb 1, 2014 9:59PM

Hi all,

You asked that I kept you informed so here I am.

We managed to get J home on Sunday and had three fabulous days as a family. Things went downhill early hours of Thursday morning.

About 2am he stopped breathing and we had to resuscitate him using the training we had been given. He came into our local children's ward yesterday. Overnight he became more unwell and started to fit. He has been reintubated (put on a breathing machine) and we are being transferred back to Nottingham QMC PICU. They think he has bronchiolitis. We are likely to be in a while as he needs a lot of support on the ventilator.

My daughter E who's 3 has broken her foot and is hobbling around in a cast just to make my week complete.

Nothing on fb yet to those who know me as there are family we need to get hold of first. Any magical md vibes appreciated and I'll update when I can for those interested. It may be a little intermittent as obviously I have other things to worry about! There are a few on here that know me on fb who can update.

Thanks all.

Rct xx

Saw your FB update the other day, and just can't believe how scary it must have been for you. So sorry you're going through all this just after getting J home, and poor E, hope she's coping with her cast ok xx

Lots of vibes for you all, I hope he doesn't have to stay in hospital for too long xx

I didn't realise he'd been intubated. I Hope the transfer hoes smoothly. You'll find PICU very different to NICU. I hope you have accommodation and are managing to eat and drink and rest. Lots of love xxx

So sorry rct, I'm sending loads of vibes that he is on the mend very soon. Sounds like a truly horrendous time, hope things improve soon x

How scary rct, I hope that little rct gets over this quickly and that by intubating him he's getting a bit of a rest so his body can fight off any infection. Look after yourself xx
