Just been to see ds's paed after his hospital stay last week (pneumonia). He has urgently referred us to a chest specialist at John Radcliffe, and wants another colleague to see ds next week. He listened to his chest and said it still sounds very harsh, and when he heard him cough, he said, 'hmm, I don't like the sound of that...' He has prescribed a daily preventative antibiotic, said to continue with the chest physio, and wants him to have ventolin 3 x a day.
Looking through his previous chest xrays, there is a definite patch in the middle of the right lung, and in the last 2 there is also a patch at the bottom of the left.
Ds's paed is normally the calmest, most reassuring man I know, but not today. he wants to me to call him before the end of the week, to make sure things are moving along, and see ds again in 2 weeks.
I have no idea what could be going on with ds's lungs, but I am feeling a bit sick in the bottom of my stomach.
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on special needs.

ds and his lungs - just seen paed - feeling a bit nervous.
