It was a horrible week last week. First of all Poppy was in hospital for three days with a viral chest infection, she was on oxygen, had to use a nebuliser and had steroids, everybody was very worried about her. Just to add to the difficulty she was not in a hospital near her home, but in Torquay as she was taken ill a couple of days after her birthday while visiting her Nanny with her Mummy and Daddy so she was unable to enjoy a little holiday by the seaside. Such a shame.
Just to make matters worse on their way home the day after Poppy`s release from hospital the car broke down on the M5 and the breakdown "service", if you could call it that, turned up 2 hours later. As it is not safe to sit in a car at the side of a motorway they had got out and sat on embankment with Poppy wrapped in blankets and coats to attempt to keep her warm as it was dark and damp, so ofcourse the exhaust fumes and the night air did not help her breathing one bit. A terrifying experience with lorries rushing past in the dark and a petrified dog who shook through the whole thing whilst Poppy cried because she had been woken up. Poppy had to have her inhaler in the way home and when she reached home as she was weazing quite a bit, thankfully she does not seem to have suffered any lasting effects from this, not that we can see at the moment anyway!
