WORRY!

My large-haired eldest has been suffering with a hideous cough for the last 4 weeks.
On thursday, however, things took a terrible turn for the worse.
He started choking.  
It was so terrifying. 
We ended up in A&E and were told that he had an infection and possibly a cyst on his larynx.
The poor boy has 2 inhalers, anti-histamine and an asthma drug daily and also carries an epi-pen.
This week he'll be off school.  
Can't play football and will be in hospital for horrid procedure.  
Every time he coughs I freeze and wait for him to breathe.
All doesn't seem fair!

I'll be filling my worry time looking for nice things on the interweb as a distraction!

  1. Not fair indeed ... oh, I feel for you. I do hope he is better soon. With an asthmatic boy myself I know how worrying it can be when they have any kind of cold or chest infection. Thinking of you and sending a big hug. Take care. M x

  5. Oh dear that sounds so scary. My son had something similar and nearly collapsed at school just before Easter - he had a chest infection and even with the past three weeks off school he still has the cough - if only slightly better. There are some real nasties going around at the moment.

    Hope he fees better soon.
