Baby Alex taken by Ambulance to hospital!!!(tuesday)
 

First I want to say that there is a bug going on in the UK that most of my friends and family got, it's a flu bug)... Well my hubby got it and myself and Alex did too, he was feeling quite bad for two weeks but the doctors told me it's just a cold and just gave him some medicines...
I took some time before actually posting this as I was still in shock.
On tuesday I put him to sleep for the night. About 1 AM me and hubby went to sleep as well. At 3 AM I was awaken by Alex crying so I got up and picked him up and realised his bed was full of sick and he was struggling to breath... I put the light on and the sick was coming out through his nose and mouth...:eek: I was soooooooooo freaked out, I woke mu hubby up and he went to get the car started...well it wouldn't start...By this time because Alex wasn't breathing almost at all I called 999 and the Ambulance (2 of them) came within 3 min of my call..Bear in mind the closest hospital is abour 35 min away!!!

They cleaned him up and put him on oxigen and took us to the hospital!
We stayed there for 4 hours! After we arrived at the hospital Alex was a lot better and he was actually smiling... All he had was a stomach bug that could have actually killed him...I have NEVER EVER EVER been sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo scared in my entire life and so useless...All I could do is tell my baby everything will be ok... It's been 6 days science then and I still go to bed really scared in case something like this happens again!!!

Alex is ok now(just a bit pale) and happier than ever but just wanted to get this scare off my chest!!! I knew I have friends here who will listen! Thanks:love-hug3

What an awful experience, bet you are afraid to go to sleep. So glad that everything is ok now.

For those who don't know, Alex is my 10 months old son!

Oh my goodness Hun I could not imagine what you were going through! Im Glad Baby Alex is okay and doing well. I hope you are getting to feel better as im sure you will have some anxiety at night with the experience you went through. In time you will know he is alright throughout the night and you will no longer have to worry. Im just glad you didnt sleep through his crying. And im glad to hear that your ambulance showed up as fast as it did some US ambulances take awhile to show. Anyway, give Baby Alex a big hug and kiss from Bailey Madison and I as we are glad to know he is good! ;)

What a scare you had! I am glad hes doing better now

I'm so sorry Alex was ill & I know you were so scared.:( It's wonderful to hear that he is doing better!!:D HUGS to both Alex & Mommy!!:hug: I know when he finally smiled, it lightened your worried heart!!

Wow, Maria, what a big scare! I'm glad everything is over and baby Alex is doing fine.

Thank you, I was so scared, but thank God he was ok!

Thanks...you're right my heart did light up when I saw that little smile!!! I actually cried when I saw him smile!!!

Thanks, I am so relieved everything turned out ok!

Thanks girl

The anxiety of sleeping throught the night will be there a long time I think, but I don't care how many nights I am awake as long as I know Alex is ok!

Thank you!

Maria, thank God little Alex is ok. I can't imagine how scared you must have been. Glad all is well now. :)

So glad to hear he's OK,

Big hugs to all of you!

:ghug::ghug::ghug:

Glad to hear baby Alex is ok. I know when my kids got sick I worried alot because it always seems like they get sick at night.my youngest daughter has asthma and we made many trips late at night and lots of times they kept her for a couple of days,

Sounds like all the old bugs and toxins worked totally out of his little body, which is a good thing. That's what vomiting and diarrhea is all about.........the body's way of riding itself of all the bad things.
Am glad he's doing well. I do know how you felt. I had 6 sons. ;)

I'm glad that baby Alex is on the road to recovery. He sure must have given you a scare. Try to catch up on your sleep.
