Nervous Day

Well today started off well everything was fine, Mitch was at childcare. I dropped him off about 6:30am it was freezing cold. I rugged him up and put a scarf around him over his nose and mouth as I knew he had a cold so I was weary that his asthma could pop up anytime. I noticed last night that his coughing increased so we were back on his puffer again.
Anyway dropped off Mitch and he was a little teary but was distracted with toys and waved me off to go to work. So off I went. He was down to 4 hourly ventolin at the time. I ran the childcare about 9:30 - 10am and he was fine. He coughed now and then but was happily playing.
At 12:30 DH rang me to say that childcare had contacted him to say that Mitch was coughing non stop and getting stressed, wheezy and fatigued. I knew an asthma attack was happening and I was trembling at work. I had no idea if any of the staff knew at what level to do what I had to get to him. I rang them to up his ventolin to 1/2 hourly and to give authorisation (after DH contacted the Doctor and hospital that gave the ok to administer the medication) for them to administer predisolene till I got there to pick him up.
The girls at childcare were wonderful, they shuffled staff so Mitch could have one on one with a staff member to look after him. The director then helped out in the Toddler room where Mitch is. It was great reassurance that staff members stepped in the way they did for him. The director even told me that she has a daughter with the same problem so it soothed me to know she knew exactly how I was feeling. I was a little teary only at what they did for Mitchell. They were there for him and did what they could for him.
Even though many people aren't thrilled with ABC childcares, I am happy to say that the one Mitch goes to are quick to respond and reassuring. It has strengthened and calmed my thoughts that I can trust them.

Mitch is at home now after lots of running around on my part to get all things. We have now hired a nebuliser for him to use for a few days till things subside. But its going to be a wreck to do it every 2hours. But hey I'd do anything for him if its going to help him and get him better.
So one trigger is having a cold and then being exposed to icey cold air.
So I'll rug him up warm. My heart has finally calmed down and just giving him hugs and kisses.

What a day, and a little scarey at that.

Thanks for listening.

It's coming

A new blog and a new direction for me will be coming shortly.
I have been contemplating this new thing for a while and just waiting for some things to finalise first before I let you all know. I don't want to jump the gun just incase something doesn't come through in time.

To coinside with this new direction is a new blog that I have been working on for 3 - 4 weeks now. This new blog will feature my new direction in life, scrapbooking and my family. I'll keep you posted here on this blog until its time to change over. I'll put the link up here soon so you can change your links for it.

Thankyou to all who read my blog its been a bumpy road at times and you've probably read parts of that. I am hoping that the changes that I have made will prove beneficial to me and my family and that this is a sign of good things to come.

Due to very personal reasons I have decided let go of my DT position at Basically Scrapbooking. They have a great new website with lovely members.

Keep checking back for the link soon.
