Hello to all my beautiful and loyal readers...
Yesterday was a very stressful day for our family...many of you are aware that i have a little boy, Jacob, who has a life threatening condition...
His official medical title is...acute, life threatening spasmodic croup..
croup like you have never seen before...his airways close over within seconds..
i carry with me a huge granny shopping trolley bag that holds oxygen, adrenolin, epipens and steroids...everywhere we go!!!
he hasn't had an episode for 18 months and we thought he had grown out of it...
but, alas he hasn't, and he had the worst episode of his life yesterday..
i truly felt he was going to die...i guess that's why its called life threatening...
I am quite a mess at the moment just thinking if i hadn't have been physcic and given him life saving meds what would have happened...it took him a long time to respond to the adrenolin...very terrified...the sad thing is, he was terrified too...
it is for this reason that i am having a little time off..i just can't cope at the moment ...
I will miss you all...and maybe really bad days i will drop in for a visit...we all need a bit of sanity...as a mummy with a sick little kidlet this is what i must do...
the good news is he is home from hospital, and going well considering...
thanks for all your lovely support...
take care of you ...and your precious families...
until next time
lots of it
Mandy

oh Mandy, how utterly terrifing!! my heart stopped just reading that. Poor man, poor you!!!!!!
Life before internet. stay strong and we will be here when you get back.
Oh, Mandy!!! I read a bit about your son in a comment you made on another blog, and I have to say I am SO SORRY that you and your baby have to deal with that at all.
There is NOTHING scarier than that hopeless feeling - thank goodness you had the awareness to give him meds. when you did!
I have had a couple of scares like that with Kendra - she is highly allergic to some things and it only takes one scare to forever make you cautious. The breathing thing is the worst.
Take care of yourself and that beautiful son of yours - he is such a lucky little man and you are such a wonderful mama!
We'll be here, Kristin xoxoxoxox
Mandy, I'm so glad that Jacob is ok. wow. I can't imagine the terror that you both went thru. It's good that you're taking time off. I'll be praying for you and your family.
