Little update on my boy…he’s on the ward and things are improving. In the early hours of yesterday, we were called down to him as his stomach had swollen up massively and he was non responsive. He was monitored so we knew he had enough oxygen and his heart rate was ok, but he just wasn’t waking up.
Now the swelling has come down and he’s looking better. The doctors said it’s very rare but occasionally when you get an infection it can cause swelling. So it’s the very beginnings of a chest infection that caused it, so that’s being treated now as well.
Thank you for all the birthday wishes I received yesterday. Although it wasn’t what we wanted, I was still spoilt with flowers, chocolates and, thanks to Andrew & his dad, I now have a nice chunk of spending money to go shopping with. (That was a massive treat as I never get to spend anything on me, so once Fred’s home, I’ll enjoy a little shopping trip.) I also take comfort in the fact that this wasn’t, by far, my worst birthday. To put into context, three years ago on my birthday, I was in hospital myself suffering a miscarriage while Freddie was upstairs on the ward desperately poorly himself.
So although we’re here again, we’re feeling positive, & optimistic that this won’t be a long visit. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
