He hadn't been 100% for some days and then Sunday night he screamed a lot of the night... and on Monday slept a lot of the day... THEN on Monday night... he screamed and cried MOST of the night and by morning was so exhausted he went into a very deep drowsy sleep... so it was time to take the little man to the doctors... After dropping the two boys at daycare and school I made the appointment. The doctor saw us promptly and then after listening to his lungs told me to take him to the hospital... so with the secret doctor code letter I set off... never expecting what was coming...
Upon arrival at the hospital the triage nurse checked Mathew out and noticed a few petiki-eye spots (** a minute spot.. not visible to an untrained unexpecting eye!!) and whisked him off through those emergency doors... By the time I got to the cubical there was a large number of doctors and nurses all surrounding him... putting a drip in, oxygen on, tube down nose... and searching for more of those petiki-eye spots... AS you can imagine I was a little taken aback!! Especially when they told me that they were looking and treating him with hardcore antibiotics for menigiccocal or meningitis... I was feeling a little terrible and a little overwhelmed... He never appeared THAT sick.. I thought at worst it might be early stages of whooping cough!! 
But recovery 'thankfully' was quick... And his brothers were so excited to see him when they came in to hospital the following afternoon after school... 
Finally it was concluded that bubby had a 'bad case' of Bronchilitis... and we were given the all clear to go home about an hour after the boys and Justin had left... so back they came and picked us up!!! 4 days later whilst Mathew isn't 100% better we do have a gorgeous happy baby back.... Oh the dramas... and now I feel as though I am getting a sore throat!! Just my luck!
Oh and about these photos.. Cause we were out and about last weekend I had the camera in the pram still... so scrapper me 'just had to' get some hospital pics ... but only once I knew he was getting better...And finally - a family photo from ourwhen we were out and about on the weekend... Us at Watsons Bay on Sunday...
