charlie

hello my good friends.

just a quick entry. my charlie was rushed by ambulance last night to hospital. he was having real trouble breathing and when he started to go a funny colour i phoned 999. i had spoken to our gp earlier in the day and was told to see how he was and take him down to be seen monday if no better....my god are they gonna get a kick up the arse first thing monday morning.

charlie has got an infection in his throat near the vocal cords and viral croup which is why he was having problems due to his throat swelling. he is on the mend and will be ok. is on antibiotics and i have a dose of steroids in case it happens again.

they done a chest xray last night and there were bits on his lungs...dr thinks this is a bit of croup.

i'm now a nervous wreck! had a lot of support from my friend last night (you know who i mean joyce) so that was lovely.

will keep you updated

love you all

JOANNE

happy birthday nanny...gone but not forgotten.

Hope Charlie makes a good recovery soon....well sooner than soon, but he should be fine now he is on antibiotics; croup is lousy, Kevin had it when he was little but the antibiotics helped and he was back to normal in no time at all......give him a hug from me! love Joan

Oh poor charlie, hope the antibiotics have him feeling better soon.  I'm sure I would be a nervous wreck too m'dear, but you did everything perfectly and Charlie will be fine.  Not sure I can say the same for the GP once you get your hands on him ;o)
