Starship Hospital
Well what a week! Here I am up in Starship Hospital in Auckland. My girl was admitted to wellington hospital on Monday with a collapsed lung yet again. All week her oxygen had been dropping quite low but they couldn't figure out why. Thursday they put her onto cpap because she couldn't cope. She kept on going blue quite a few times. I knew something was wrong. I was up in the Ronald McDonald room when a nurse came screaming in there. I was running so fast I nearly tripped over her! She had gone into respiritory arrest. When I grabbed her hand there was no life whatsoever. I text Antz and just said come now. He rang me and I was screaming at him. He was there in about 5min. It took them 4min to get her breathing again. We were taken to ICU where they ventilated her and kept her sedated. The next day starship flew down to get us. Me and my Mum came up and Antz will come next week. She is stable for now and today she will have lots of tests done to see what's wrong. The staff here are great and I'm happy we have a room to sleep in and 3 meals a day.
