Massimo’s wheeze got progressively worse over the 24 hours to yesterday afternoon. The salbutamol nebuliser that I gave him didn’t seem to make much difference and at about 5 pm we took him in to PICU at St George’s to be reviewed. There they gave him two more salbutamol nebulisers and an adrenaline nebuliser and he seemed to settle and go to sleep.
In the night he had an episode of desaturation and difficulty in breathing so they put him on CPAP overnight. This morning he was happily back on just oxygen and we were getting ready to collect him. He has since had another episode and is back on CPAP. How long he will remain in PICU and on CPAP only time will tell.
