There was ambulances and everything!

I posted this (http://www.bubhub.com.au/community/forums/showthread.php?t=156178) about an hour ago and have since called 000 and had 2 ambulances with 3 officers come out.

Jedd is fine - thank God!

So fine, that half way through the call to 000 he woke up, and began trying to take the phone out of my hand :rolleyes: (I told the lady not to worry but she insisted on sending the ambulance still - just in case)

He gooed and gaaed and smiled at the ambo's so much - I felt so embarrassed; I apologised profusely but they insisted on staying to make sure he was okay :goodvibes:

They were so lovely and understanding - Thank you! :flowerz:

I am glad he is ok. I did read your other thread and was wondering how he was.

Dont worry about ringing the ambo's. They get upset if its a crank call ...but not if you are genuinely concerned with an accident. In those cases they are very happy when everything is ok. You did the right thing by calling them.

Hun I am so glad it was ok, DS has stopped breathing before and been fine by the time they got here but its always better to err on the side of caution with our precious bubs!

Thank goodness he's ok - you must have been so worried!

i'm glad he is ok they send 2 as with kids there are specialist officers that deal with kids in certain situations and theres always a need for more help if the other 2 have to be in the back with bub. So glad he is ok but still watch him for the next 24 hr and if he bumps his head in that time take him straight to hospital for a check up.

naiwen..........my dd2 stopeed breathing aswell andi had to start cpr whilst talking to 000 very scary but they came out so quick and she was ok when they came but they took us in for observation and they cancelled the back up team as they said they werent needed but they were in my driveway anyway.


Kids nothing ever runs smoothly and they check your coping skills constantly

my oldest suffers from febrile convulsions and the amount of times we have called the ambulance just in case its more serious. they have taken her up to the hospital just in case all the time.

my youngest had a massive fall from his high chair a few weeks ago (he was 10 months old). He screamed blue murder and had a big bump above his eye called health direct (professional nurses on call) and they said to keep an eye on him and try to see if he responds when he was woke. He fell asleep about two mins after the fall.

We were about to take him up to the hospital but took him to after hour doctors and said he was fine and his eyes were responding fine.

It definitely can be scary

Just wanted to clarify that there are actually no specialist peadiatric ambo's - not intended to pick apart tobmac's post :) I'd just hate to think people would feel stressed if they asked the ambo's if they specialised in kiddies and they said no.

Most states have different level's of ambo's, any case (in a metro area) where the call indicates the patient is potentially seriously ill would generate a response of 2 ambulances (as someone said, you need two of us treating the patient en route to hospital) one of those would be of the highest clinical skill available.

To the OP, I can honestly tell you from experience that there is no greater feeling after being responded to a job where a child is potentially seriously ill to find that everything is actually ok :).

Good to hear he is ok. :thumbsup:

DS has a tumble a few weeks back, and then went to sleep not minutes after knocking his head.

I wasn't too concerned though as i had come across some info a little while ago stating that it's quite safe for people to sleep (long periods even) with a suspected concussion.

In some instances in hospy they put people under an induced coma to reduce severe swelling also. :)

If in doubt, it's always best to act on it. :yes:
