Today, there was an accident with some of Theo's equipment. His humidifier tank tipped over and water rushed into his lungs. Bearing in mind he can't cough things out like healthy people can, and that adrenalin etc is devastating for him, his carers and myself were rather 'anxious'. (To say the least, tears were shed by carers).
He treated us to a turning blue episode and not breathing properly so we had to administer oxygen and the paramedics advised another trip to hospital for him.
He has recovered well and is home with us and we need to look out for signs of infection so have some pretty strong antibiotics ready to go should he need them.
Tabby coped remarkably well by watching CBeebies throughout.
Colin and myself have a bit of a headache and disappointingly no carers now til Tuesday..
I think we can come to expect this as situation normal, having to drop everything and rush in to the Royal. Thanks to friends who rush in to help us out too.
