Was getting pretty sick of hospital stays now, we're constantly in in the last few weeks. I don't mind staying with you i just hate to see you in hospital, it's just no good for you, hospitals are full of infections. Your dad got off work at 5 so your grandad drove us to kinnegad to meet him. Shirley took yer sis to larkins for dinner and yer nanny was gonna collect you later. I just had a feeling you weren't well, you were running a temperature and thats never a good sign.
After almost 5hrs in A&E and them trying to figure out weather or not you needed to be admitted or not, we were eventually admitted to the paed's ward. You'd a kidney infection. Admissions nurse was so rude, she obviously isn't very understaanding that we'd been 5hrs in A&E i wasn't giving out but when we got to the ward we were ages waiting on someone to come see us! Anywho she came and said "Your obviously not happy with the service you recieved, here's a complaint form". Shocked i quickly took the form and told yer i was getting used to filling these forms out. She then put us into a room sharing with someone else. I'd no problem with this but worried as they didn't have a disgnosis for the other baby, so they'd no idea weather it was any harm to putting you in with her, typical HSE protocol! It took them 5 attempts to insert a canula, eventually getting it into your foot! I was so mad with them, you were so upset xox

Dr Lambert was on rounds, she came to see you, she said we'd be a few days in at least until the infection started to clear and culture report came back from samples. She asked if i could get the rsv injection sent over so it could be given as the ward was full of bronchulitis and other infections. Diane was also doing rounds with her, she's so nice. Dr Lambert also said we'd to be moved as soon as possible into a single room.

Nothing much happened today, we'd to try keeping you amused with toys and telly, you were very good tho having regular naps and feeding relatively well. You had a kidney scan and xray to show the placement of your stint, they were gonna forward pics to Fergal Quinn. You had a very small nose bleed but nurse didn't know why! Culture results came back later on this evening, you've had med growth which meant nothing really to them. They requested a repeat exam of the samples. You woke screaming 3 times during the night but settled once i got u to you.

You got your rsv injection today and they've decided to let us home! Got you all packed up and and went to get you a bottle, when i came back you were having a cynotic spell, i rushed out to the nurse and she tested your sats and they were very low but quickly went to 60's, then 70's and low 80's. This was very unusual and i noticed a vein popping out on your head. Doc came to have a look, but then said it was ok to send you home. I was worried re kidney problems, but they arranged an app with Fergal early next week.
