David is in hospital

Hi, Liz here. David has been very ill with the flu all week, which has been exacerbating his asthma. This afternoon he was finding breathing very difficult, so I rang A&E and after listening to his breathing over the phone, they transferred us to the Ambulance service who confirmed our address and sent a nee naw. After taking all his vitals and putting him on a nebuliser, we were whisked off to Whipps Cross A&E where they took a chest x-ray, and some bloods, and then put him on the nebuliser again. The consultant checked his blood gas and found it low, so David was put on straight oxygen and when that didn't improve the gas level, he was admitted overnight. Arkady and I have been quite concerned, but when we left him, he was a lot more comfortable and healthier looking than he was earlier, and incredibly bored ;-) Hopefully he will be back home tomorrow.

Hope he's feeling better soon.
