Moonbase Junior our Grandson is in hospital this weekend. He is struggling to breath properly due to a viral infection. It's not clear if its Covid yet. He is in good medical hands and benefitting from an oxygen nebuliser and steroids.
Its a daunting experience at the best of times for a 4 year old but in these pandemic days Junior has to stay in his room all the time. His Dad's with him all the time and with the help of comics, DVD's and hospital custard they are both getting through it. Its sleep number 2 tonight.
We dropped off a plastic Thunderbird 2 today for our Grandson via Mum who visited hospital with a change of clothes for both boys. She wasn't allowed to see either of them. A Nurse took it to him. He loved it!
25/4/21: PUPDATE:
Junior is alas still in hospital with his Dad. Night number three tonight. He's had an X-ray and it looks like an infection on his chest, which is affecting his oxygen intake.
They hope to be discharged tomorrow. Good job really since they can't leave their room at all because of Covid rules in the building. They're going stir crazy!
All my best wishes for Moonbase Junior's quick recovery and for the whole family. It is good to know that he is in the best of hands. And Thunderbird 2 to the rescue to boot! Our thoughts are with all of you here at Helsinki Base.
ReplyDeleteThanks Arto. I'll be saying night night to Junior soon.
DeleteNice to know International Rescue are still at it and going strong after all these years. Wishing a speedy recovery To Moonbase Jnr, Woodsy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tone. It is a worry but its fingers and everything crossed at this end.
DeleteI hope Moonbase Junior recovers quickly and can go back home to properly play with his T2. To keep you occupied, rather than worrying, cast your eyes over this:

I couldn't find this version mentioned here on Moonbase so hopefully it will be of interest.
Oops
DeleteFound it; Tarheel with the branding blacked out.
Oh well at leadt thrres plenty of pix to drool over.
Thanks Timmy. They were marketed in Italy those blacked-out versions. They often have an Italian sticker on the box. Really interesting to have in a SWORD collection. Another reader on the blog has just commented elsewhere they found one just like it for 5 euros! Bargain.
DeleteYour family has had a rough time recently, but all the best to Moonbase Junior, his parents, and Grandparents. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul.

ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Paul. Much appreciated.
DeleteBest wishes to you, your grandson and your family.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. Stay safe.
DeleteIt's a worry when little ones are sick, we've had our fair share with our own junior, asthma seems to be the cause our problems, wishing Junior a speedy recovery and our best wishes from the south coast
ReplyDeleteThanks MJ. Asthma is a serious business. It started up with me three years ago after cleaning out an old shed. It was the mould. With our Grandson its likely to have been his baby Sister's croup that has infected him and the virus has settled on his chest making it hard to breathe properly at night. Because his oxygen levels are just 91 when sleeping he's being kept in. Day 3 today.
DeletePuggies are sending good vibes and air-kisses to Moonbase Junior...
ReplyDeleteThanks Zigg. I'm pleased to say Junior came home on Monday. He's on antibiotics now and recovering well.
