While A has gone into the spring seemingly able to fight the nightmare wheezing of winter, last week our little Baby L ended up in hospital with fast laboured breathing, low oxygen, a high temperature and the dreaded 'Post viral wheeze'. We are certainly not the first to find that our second child might be vulnerable to the same respiratory problems as our eldest, however we really do feel pretty gutted.
On the positive side, if he does continue to wheeze, at least we know what we're doing. We don't have the same learning curve as the first time round and in a funny kind of way inhalers, A&E and everything related to viral induced asthma is fairly 'normal' to us as parents (albeit worrying), but still, for him as much as for us, gutted.
For now we'll have to wait and see if his tendency to wheeze continues. The last two times that he's had a cold I've had him down the doctors as we thought we'd heard a wheeze at nightime, so I think it doesn't look great, but there's really not a lot more we can do right now. But, to overstate the point, gutted...
