Adawn47 Posted June 21, 2020 #2626 Share Posted June 21, 2020 (edited) I've just checked in with Heather. Jake is still on oxygen but is back to his normal happy self. They've managed to wean him down to 0.5 litres through the day but is on more while asleep at night. Hopefully he won’t be long before he's home but things are looking better.

Four days later he was back on oxygen for anther week. That was 6 months ago. I just wish I knew why this is happening. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Thank you. I hope they can. All they say is 'some kind of chest infection'. His mum's a nurse and she can't understand it either.

Adawn47 Posted June 22, 2020 #2633 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Jake's going home today!!! 😀😀 Apparently there's something called a viral wheeze that presents like an asthma high, which is why salbutamol is helping. They've said he should grow out of it. He's had loads of tests done and they've ruled out a lot which is why they're calling it a viral wheeze. They've put him under the Sheffield respiratory team so they can regularly monitor him. It's such a relief and they're now going to celebrate a belated Father's day.

Enjoy your belated Father’s Day celebration. Yesterday was great for us because our younger son, his wife and our two grand daughters came to sit in our garden for the first time in months. Seemed almost normal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must have wonderful for you both. It's something we're both very much looking forward to. It's strange isn't it that what used to be a normal thing has now been tuned into something rare and unusual. Avril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted June 22, 2020 #2636 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Great news ! At least you know what it is/was and can relax now . So pleased for Jake, you & the family Maybe on the way home in the car they could swing by yours so you and Frank could just take a peek inside the car .

(using the car as a shield ) Nice idea kalos, but thay way wouldn't work for me. It would upset me more to actually see him and not be able to pick him up to love him. I don't think it would do him any good either seeing this wild - haired oid lady in floods of tears waving frantically at him through the car window.😭 Avril 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare P&O SUE Posted June 22, 2020 #2641 Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) Such good news Avril. We had a nice Father’s Day yesterday. Our son, partner and grandson cane into our garden in the morning. Brightens me up so much seeing Joshua. He’s getting a bit clingy to his mum now which is a little worrying if I get to look after him again. Then later my mum and dad sat in our garden for 2 or 3 hours so all very pleasant. Just done my 5 hrs on the NHS phones, now soaking up some Vitamin D in the garden. Edited June 22, 2020 by P&O SUE 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted June 22, 2020 #2645 Share Posted June 22, 2020 That really gave me a lift Avril, so it must have been double, treble, quadruple etc great for you. I’ve just used all my fingers and toes and counted up that we’ve been in lockdown for 98 days. Had lunch with my sister on 16 March, nothing since. However, I donned my face mask and went into Waterstone’s this morning to get some cards (family birthday season approaching). Times have changed - plastic screens at the till etc. I didn’t enjoy wearing the mask - very hot and my hot breath kept making my sunnies fog up 🙂. I’ll keep wearing it though - it seems logical as more & more people get out and about 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that you have that diagnosis of bronchiolitis, which my wife (a retired nursing sister, with previous form as a Health Visitor) tells me is something they usually grow out of as they get older. I'm sure they've told you that already, but it is a positive. Harry 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pollen count has been very high, and even though I never used to be bothered, I am finding I am suffering with sneezing and a runny nose every morning at present.
