I went to pick ds (2.8) up from childminder (I work partime) today and he was coughing uncontrollably and wheezing. He is just getting over THAT wheezing, coldy, coughy thing but had seemed fully over it the last few days. Anyway, on chatting for a minute I took a look at ds and knew instantly something was wrong (he is also allergic to dairy, egg, extreme allergic to peanuts .....and small intollerance to cats) strapped him in and dashed to doctors where upon they called ambulance we went to hospital. I have never ever been so bl**dy scared in my entire life. They don't know if it was an allergic reaction or whether it is this horrible viral thing but thankfully after some time on a nebulizer and a dose of sterioids he is okay and home now.
Don't know why I am really posting, probably just to unload as am a single mum and am feeling a little shaken up right now and no-one around. I guess this will no doubt be the first of many visits (what with "boy stuff" and brocken bones etc) but when I was driving him to drs. he stopped making any sound at all and I thought he had stopped breathing. God it was hideous.
