Getting Chilly

Getting a bit parky out there now isn't it?! Good time then to report on the release of a new booklet from Bliss. The booklet describes common winter illnesses particularly from the preemie point of view. It includes illnesses such as RSV, pneumonia and bronchiolitis in addition to a section on swine flu. Each section covers symptoms, how to reduce risk when to seek help etc and so is a good booklet to have around.

With premature babies at high risk of readmission in the first year after discharge often as a result of things like RSV and bronchiolitis (our son was taken by ambulance to hospital on his first Christmas with bronchiolitis), it is great that Bliss is providing this booklet.

great leaflet, would have been helpful for Eoin but we survived with the handgel and raincover! Just the 1 hospital readmission, not too bad I suppose apart from it being on Christmas Day!
