Just out of hospital with ds took him to a&e on sun eve as he sounded awful, but by time we got there he didn't sound so bad so they sent us home. Had a coughing fit at 9.45 he was really struggling to breath, called ambulance by time they got here he was much better so decided to kleave him. By 3.45 he was really struggling to breath. called ambulance again who took one look at him and said he's going in.

I have never seen so many doctors, nurses in one go. gave him salbutamo, adrenalin and predisanol and he didn't respond very quickly at all so they called the anaesthnatist in and just as they were deciding what to do he started to improve. Was moved onto high dependancy and improved yesterday and had another turn yesterday evening but recoved well after nebuliser - they allowed him home today.

That sounds scary! We had our DD at A&E with croup the other week, then yesterday doctor gave us 2 kinds of inhalers for her as she has bronchiolitis again. Breathing problems are really frightening.

What is wroong with your DS?
