My nine year old who has asthma had developed a chest infection. He had been given oral antibiotics steriods and inhalers by Gp. Unfortunately my child deteriorated later than evening. He had developed a temperature 39 became more short of breathe and his saturations dropped. His respiratory rate and heart rate increased I rang for an ambulance as my son was getting extremely fatigued with his breathing. I was extremely concerned.
Two amazing crew members arrived. Eddie and Glenn. They both assessed my son in a prompt manner providing my son and me right away with reassurance and comfort. They stayed with my son until treatment was completed which was past their shift time. Nothing was a bother. They treated my nine year son with the highest level of compassion and respect.
"Wonderful care given by NIAS"
