There and back again

[ailbhe]

We popped back to the hospital, to the out of hours GP service, and Astrid got more steroids. So now we're sitting up watching her breathe again. The steroids definitely help; it remains to be seen whether they help enough.

If they don't, it's back into hospital (boo) where we have an oxygen monitor (yay).

Currently, she's doing the chest wall indrawing thing, but not severely. We're pretty familiar with intercostal muscles now, I think.

Sorry this is happening to you all -glad she is back home. Let me know if I can do anything to help, otherwise sending lots of hugs.

I've just caught up on what you're all going through. I really hope the treatments kick in properly soon and Astrid can breathe well again.

Come on medicines, do your stuff! I am crossing everything and hoping she's through the worst of it. You must all be absolutely shattered.

Yikes! Best wishes to you all.

Urgh, that chest wall indrawing, and the subsequent "is it time to go to hospital" thing is *awful*. (Done it many a time with C). Hope she's better soon. x
