took matthew down to a&e yesterday as the asthma nurse at the surgery wouldnt see him, she said he needs to seen by a paed

we got there at 5pm (this was the new hosp we r being transferred to). they checked his obs and listened to hos chest which was clear then to his lungs and said they could hear crackles on both sides, he saw the doc who wasnt happy so he was referred to a paed, we waited til about 7.30 and then he checked matthew properly, the best treatment hes had apart from GOSH.

he was quite worried by his recession, matthew has a big gap at the top of his chest from all his repeated chest problems and this was going in more, hes nostrils where flaring when he was breathing and u could see he was making more of an effort to breathe, he heard the crackes and said he could have pneumonia so they dont a chest xray which showed shadows on both sides

hes now on a week worth of anti b's. 6 puffs of his inhaler every 4 hours,  and has to go bk to the gp in a weeks time

im so angry, he last saw the gp on friday and im sure he had it then,

they have referred him to the asthma nurse at the hosp and r now discussing matthew today, they were abit worried by the xray so r  gonna see if they can do anymore to help him

im sooo glad i took him now i think if i did go to the gp they would of sent him away again, and if we took him to the old hosp they would of also sent him away

hes very quiet today, not himself at all and i feel so sorry for him

oh well another illness to add to the long list of things hes already had

Hi babe sorry i missed you this morning was just nipping out...

I can't believe how gps can get away with it. What do we pay our national insurance for?

Well at least you now know what it is and can now get him sorted.

Sending you great big hugs and kisses. xxxx

I feel so sorry for you. It doesn't surprize me about the gp- I had a
nine month battle with mine when we were trying to get my mum's
pains taken seriously. She was told over and over it was just her age
and eventually we found out it was ovarian cancer. I would always
battle now and seek second and third opinions if I thought something
was wrong.

Big hugs to the wee fella.

xxxx

Well done for persisting and getting him to A&E, I'm so pleased that you got someone to take you seriously.

I really really hope that the meds work quickly for him and he's feeling better soon.
