Tiny DS in hospital with bronchiolitis - hand hold

DS 14weeks has had a bit of a cold the last few days but this morning really deteriorated. I took him to the GP who said it was just a cold and sent me away. Throughout the day he got worse, fighting for breath, not feeding at all etc so I insisted the GP see him again this afternoon. One look at him and we were sent straight to hospital. DS is now on oxygen with a feeding tube and I’m in bits seeing my tiny baby so helpless. I’m trying to pump but I’m so exhausted and hungry I’m not getting much. DP not allowed to stay due to bloody fucking Covid even though we’re in a side room. Not sure why I’m posting other than to just get it out there.

Fantastic news!

Incase you haven’t been warned though don’t be surprised if overnight they need to increase the oxygen a bit, it’s not a backwards step just normal at night.

Over the moon for you OP. I've been watching but haven't dared to write anything yet, just been so scared for your little boy. Mine is the same age. You're a hero x

@Floopyandtired

He is off the ventilator! I can’t believe it. They decided to “test” him this morning by turning all the dials on the monitors to their lowest settings. They were full expecting it to cause his numbers to go haywire but they stayed good… 3 hours later, still good… so after 8 hours they decided to try removing his breathing tube and it’s bloody worked. He’s just on a little oxygen but otherwise is breathing entirely independently. I can’t believe it. 24 hours ago he was looking really ropey with awful numbers. They’re not kidding when they say babies go downhill quickly but pick up quickly too. I gave him a cuddle earlier and it was one of the happiest moments of my life.
Fantastic, I'm so happy for you and little Henry xxx
