"2 day stay for my little boy with a bad chest..."

About: Musgrove Park Hospital (Taunton)

We came to acorn being advised from our dr that my son was struggling to breath & with chest retractions. We firstly went to a & e for a consultation & transferred to resus as breathing so rapid & low oxygen. We were then transferred to Acorn to meet the fantastic drs, nurses & other staff that were so very helpful, friendly & made us feel comfortable. My son was given nebulisers & oxygen straight away & the nurses were amazing in doing so. After a day of observations, more nebulisers, iv antibiotics, steroids etc we were told he needed to stay over night to have more treatment. We stayed in Oak for 1 night & was looked after by an amazing & friendly nurse who gave my son 2 hourly nebulisers & constantly being obsereved. I can not thank the nurses & drs enough on acorn & oak for what they did for my little boy. He is so much better now thank you to all of the prompt treatment, care & medication he received. Thank you Musgrove from the bottom of my heart x

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience of both our Paediatric Wards, Acorn and Oak ward. This sounds like it was a very worrying time for you, and was pleased to hear of the prompt treatment and care he received. I am glad to read that your son is better now.

I have forwarded you feedback directly to the Matron and Lead Consultant for Oak and Acorn Ward, who will be delighted to share your experiences with their teams.

Once again thank you for sharing your experience with us.

Kerry
