From Wheezing to Casualty

It started with some wheezing and before you know it, Charlotte had to take Tilly in to St George’s Hospital for bronchioilitis. Initially we weren’t too concerned, but our local GP thought it best to be safe so yesterday Charlotte had to take Tilly to the hospital. I guess the doctors have to play safe just in case. Anyhow, drama averted and after a check-up with the in-house paediatrician, Tilly was discharged and returned home.

I never know how worried to be about things like this and maybe I don’t get worried enough. I just assume everything will work out ok somehow, so I wasn’t crawling up the walls with fear. It definitely helps that Charlotte is the same, that is, unlikely to panic.

I didn’t know what bronchiolitis was or what we should do so I had a look at the Twinsclub forum and found a question and series of answers there. I can’t help raving about Twinsclub. It’s an excellent resource for all things about parenting and babies. If you have twins and need any kind of advice or help from other parents then join up asap and you’ll find it an excellent source of useful information.

So, the long and short is Tilly is fine and Daddy is better informed.
