We got all ready for bed, started Massimo’s feed and half way through he started pooing, so we stopped the feed, changed his nappy (there was very little there), settled him down again and started the feed again. Then he pooed again. This time there was even less but this time it HURT. Major crying, major paddy, major loss of colour. We tried everything to settle him again, even a saline nebuliser as his breathing sounded so strained, but nothing helped. So we put him on the monitor and it read 77% for his saturation levels. So we took him to Mum’s room, still attached and gave him some of Mum’s oxygen. The numbers came up immediately – so it had been a good reading! We gave him oxygen for 5 minutes and then tried taking him off again, but the numbers dropped again to 88%, so we called an ambulance and went back to A&E.
Massimo and I are staying at St George’s again. We hope to be home soon.
