We nipped round to see how Poppy was doing on Saturday lunch time, it was a relief to see her and she was all smiles, though she was still very noisy breathing and had to have an inhaler not long after we arrived. We did not stay for long, Em had jobs to do and wanted to get the house sorted and the washing done.
Sunday I made roast chicken and Emma, Lee and Poppy joined us. I asked Rachel and Steven but they wanted a quiet weekend so I hope they relaxed and enjoyed it. Poppy was quite pale when they arrived and she did not want her dinner so she had a biscuit while we ate and then she wanted to play. She looked better than the day before and was enjoying playing with her toys again. She had to have an inhaler after lunch but she had gone 5 and a half hours since the last one which is good, her breathing was a bit rattly by the time she had the inhaler. She is not keen, Lee has to trap her arms by her sides so that Emma can administer the inhaler but it is for her own good, and she seemed better afterwards. She fell asleep on my lap while watching her television programmes and had a half hour in the cot, waking bright and breezy with a big grin when she stood up and appeared over the edge of the cot, her colour looked a bit better and she was not quite as pale. She ate some tea, which was good as she has not been eating too well the last few days, and managed to feed herself with some yogurt. She allowed her Mummy to spoon feed her the first few spoons of yogurt then started to object, so Emma handed the spoon to her and she was very good, she managed to get the yogurt into her mouth, well most of it! Thankfully she managed to get through most of the pot which was good to see her eating. Lee had nipped to the pub to watch Aston Villa play so Emma and Poppy stayed here a little longer, and they went off home about 6pm as Emma had work to do and wanted to get more jobs finished in the house.
Lee told us on Sunday that Poppy had been taken into hospital with the blue lights flashing on the ambulance and sirens blaring. I had not realised that this was the case as when the ambulance left the surgery they did not have them on, I suppose they only needed to use them when they got to a build up of traffic to get through. I am glad I did not know this on Thursday, I was worried enough as things stood, I would have been frantic had I known the urgency of the situation, though ofcourse I knew she had to be quite poorly to be sent into hospital in the first place. Emma said the ambulance men told Lee that Poppys heart was racing, which they were worried about, so they wanted to get her to hospital as soon as they could. Its frightening how quickly the health of a child goes down, and great that they can get better again just as fast.
Well that was my weekend.
