PJ's not been well

PJ's not be well this week, starting with what appeared to be a ear infection. After we had been out to the doctors Sunday, we got given some antibiotics. It got so bad Wednesday that a doc was called out again that morning. He gave PJ a examination and recommend that he be take down to the hospital, which Jax did. After a long wait (which seems to be the norm in all NHS hospitals now), PJ was seen and they said that he had Bronchiolitis: inflammation of the bronchioles, the smallest air passages of the lung. In a typical case, an infant under twelve months of age develops cough, wheeze and shortness of breath over one or two days. The infant may be breathless for several days. After the acute illness, it is common for the airways to remain sensitive for several weeks, leading to recurrent cough and wheeze. There is a possible link with later asthma: possible explanations are that bronchiolitis causes asthma by inducing long term inflammation, or that children who are destined to be asthmatic are more prone to develop bronchiolitis.
All the symtons he had, we've also been told that his lungs are now scarred for life so if he gets any other chest infections then it may sound very hoarse and have a very bad cough. I wasn't able to go to the hospital with Jax, something I feel rather bad about. But I've had rather a lot of time off work and I'm a little concerned for my job, as my managers not happy about it all. So I had to attend as we can't afford me to loose it, but it still don't make me feel any better.
