Wow when will it stop.......

Ryans cast is off and his leg is healing nicely, had clinic at Royal childrens last Wednesday and all specialists were happy with him, Monique-his neurologist offered up some ideas regarding bone density and how to strengthen it, Mandy his respiratory specialist gave him antibiotics for cold and Michael his heart specialist increased his heart meds.  Height and weight both increasing on a healthy range for him too. 
Wednesday night John and I had our first "date night" together in weeks (hes been working) and thankfully after we'd had our dinner and were at Rick- Johns twin brothers, Our carer rang and said Ryan was gasping for breath - so we left ball in her court as to whether to ring ambos.  Ten minutes later he was getting worse so she rang me back,(we were already on our way home) and said she thought we should ring ambos,They had just arrived when John and I got home and were triaging him.  After a quick assessment they decided to take him to Frankston hospital, where he was Xrayed and found to have a chest infection.  He was also found to have a heart rate of 180, so they transferred him to paediatric ward and inserted an IV to decrease his heart rate.  Hes been sleeping poorly since he has started antibiotics,on his second dose now and cough is slowly subsiding.

..........And now my coffee machine has broken!!!!!
