Missus has just rushed my daughter to Hospital-UPDATE
My 2 year old daughter woke up a few hours ago with a strange wheezy cough 
It has slowly got a little worse and she is now struggling to breath properly so Haley has rushed her to A+E
I have had to stop here to look after the other 2 who are in bed.
Poor little Neve

PassionFord Post Whore!!
Get well soon. Hopefully it will turn out to be something easy (but scary) like croup.
Our youngest got that and the first time we were shi77ing ourselves. Next time we knew just to get the steam going.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for Neve!
I know (well, technically I don't since I was about 2 or 3 at the time, but my parents told me) how scary croup can be......they said I used to literally go red/purple in the face, not breathing, then let out a massive coughing fit for a minute or so, breathe normally for a few minutes, then repeat. So I can imagine how scary it is for you to see that happening to someone in your own family.

At first, a child may have cold symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose for a few days and may also have fever. As the upper airway (the lining of the windpipe and the voice box) becomes progressively inflamed and swollen, the child may become hoarse, with a harsh, barking cough.
If the upper airway becomes swollen to the point where it is partially blocked off, it becomes even more difficult for a child to breathe. This happens with severe croup. With severe croup, there may be a high-pitched or squeaking noise when breathing in (this is called stridor). A child will tend to breathe very fast, and the stomach or the skin between the child's ribs may seem to pull in during breathing. The child may also appear pale or bluish around the mouth because he is not getting enough oxygen.
Symptoms of croup often worsen at night and when the child is upset or crying. In addition to the effects on the upper airway, the infections that cause croup can result in inflammation further down the airway, including the bronchi (breathing tubes) and the lungs.
