hi everyone, haven't been on for ages but need to have a rant!
Finlay (now 13months) has been really ill in hospital with pneumonia, which wasn't picked up by trip to a &e or his GP for breathing problems til it was pretty bad, his paediatrician was fuming when she saw how ill he was. I was really annoyed as everyone just tells you he has a cold and you feel like you are being a paranoid mother. Has anyone else experienced this??
Thankfully after 5 days in hospital on antibiotics and oxygen he could come home. He's now on a second course of antibiotics because he started to show signs of infection again after the first course finished, but at least he's acting like his own self.
Anyway just wanted to say don't let the so called professionals fob you off, they are not always right!
Ali

OMG!! What a complete nightmare for you, thank goodness he's ok now!!
Don't blame you for wanting a rant, and thanks for pointing it out to us to be aware of.
Hope he makes a full recovery before Christmas.x
