Urgences

Staying half way up a mountain on the side of the pistes with the snow and the tranquility, feeling far from everywhere is beautiful. Except when you wake up at 5.47am and realise that your little 6 year old can barely breath.
An hour later we were at moutiers hospital where they gave him a large dose of cortisone and made him breath in the "nuage"- a mask of oxygen and adrenaline. He had two sessions of the "nuage", another dose of cortisone and 5 hours later we made our way back up the mountain armed with more cortisone, a thermometer and the obligatory nasal sprays.
The diagnosis was an acute laryngitis. We need to monitor his temperature for three days but otherwise he should be right as rain by tomorrow morning.

Think I need a lie down now !
