11 month old has been rushed into hospital, hand hold please

[Thegracefuloctopus]

Suspected infection, unsure where.

Rang 999 after he was hard to wake and sensitive to light this afternoon. Blue lights came, temp of 39.5, low oxygen. Ambulance to hospital with oxygen mask etc.
Poor dh forgot the formula and bottle so has to drive home again to get it. He was just stressed and feels bad now.
We are awaiting assessment in emergency dept, DS is drifting in and out.
Anyone about for a handhold? I'm scared

You’re in the right place. Make notes of what the drs say do you don’t forget. Remember to look after yourself too - drink/eat etc.
Had hold here for you and

Handhold here. That must be terrifying for you. Remember that he is in the best place possible. Thinking of you all x

Handhold. Really hoping for a quick recovery for your little one. Very scary time xxxx

and a handhold from me too OP.

Sorry you are going through this. You acted quickly and you are in the right place. No wonder you (DH) forgot a bottle. It's so stressful when they are ill. I bet he will be fine. It's one of those parenting tests that just remind you how lucky you are and how precious they are. God flowers are not enough but have some along with all the positive thought power that MN can muster.

Agree you're in the next place but if you don't feel satisfied with what they are saying trust your gut.

Hope all is well soon

So sorry, I hit post instead of the return button.

Hoping for a full and speedy recovery. Look after yourself too.

Thank you. He's just coughed/socked up the grossest lump. I've gone to the nurses station and said he seems worse, getting hotter and drowsier but no one has come yet.

You must be so scared. Handhold and a big hug

Big hugs op

You poor thing OP. Hope he gets seen soon

How long have you been waiting?? It’s crazy that you went in an ambulance but haven’t been seen . Can you cause more of fuss?

I've got no words. I'm there with you.

If you feel he’s getting worse, keep badgering the nurses. I know they’re busy and maybe understaffed but it’s ok to push gently when you’re concerned.

I hope your little one will be ok after some treatment.

Sending love op! Hope you are seen asap you must be terrified.
Keep us updated, thinking of you and your little one xx

Oh op, I cant imagine how scared you are.

Lots of unmumsnetty hugs. He’s in the right place and I hope he get better ASAP

Hi OP, you're in the right place and I really hope everything is okay for your little family. Two of my friends babies have had health issues where they've been in hospital for a couple days with a drip and all but they recovered well and are fine happy bubbas. Keep calm as hard as it may be. Sending you all the best wishes

Thinking of you OP. Hope your DS gets seen soon

Hand hold here. It happened to me in France with a 4 month old (2.5 months corrected age). She looked so ill it was terrifying. Babies go downhill so quickly. Hers was just a virus in the end but she gave me the fright of my life. Did the listless, hard to wake, not feeding, dry nappy, temperature sky high routine. That is a day that I never want to live through again. I can't believe that you are having to wait to be seen. That's not good but at least you are in the right place.

Sending a virtual hand to hold

Thinking of you. We were blue lighted in with my 12 month old after he had a febrile convulsion. It was truly awful and I thought I'd lost him, I never knew febrile convulsions were even a thing.

Hugs to you. Keep us updated.

Sending healing vibes. You must be beside yourself. You did the right thing getting him in so quickly. Don’t be afraid to be a nuisance if he isn’t seen ASAP.
