Iris poorly again

In a nutshell
she has a cough and cold again, she was breathing quite heavily for her nap, so i phoned the docs and he said to come down to the surgery at 6pm, and he then sent me up to A&E, and Marc met us up there.
The docs at the hospital thought that she was struggling and so they gave her Salbutamol inhaler (which she obviously hated) and then they made us stay in all night again, oh joy, another night on an uncomfortable bed in a noisy ward.

Personally i think she was fine, she was struggling a little bit with her breathing but not that much, she is just chesty cos she's got a cough, but obvioulsy i had to go along with it, i'd have looked like a very bad mother refusing to stay and going home.

In the middle of the night they decided to put an oxygen mask in the cot with her so that it pumped out oxygen in her general direction, but again i couldn't tell any difference in her breathing, but then i guess I haven't gone through 5+ years of medical training.

She is now on a routine of inhaler every 4/6 hours for four days which she is getting used to.
poor sausage.
