  • The Serious Danger Of Hot Tubs

    2 years ago, we purchased a hot tub. Amelia loved it, spent so much time in it for the first few weeks, as did we all. My mum was also very vigilant when cleaning it. At some point in April/May she developed an ear infection, she was floored with this. Couldn’t lift her head for days! But no big deal right? People get them all the time. The doctor prescribed her a course of Amoxicillin, which she completed as advised. About a week later her symptoms had subsided and she seemed her happy wee self again. She had however lost a lot of weight, and was complaining of dizziness now and again.

    On the 11th of May I had an exam and then flew out to Marbella for my friends hen weekend the same day. Amelia stayed with my mum and dad. When I returned, her lethargy seemed to have returned and she was complaining of headaches and double vision. I honestly thought at this time that she was only saying these things as she didn’t want to leave my side and stay with her grans/dad so I could work etc. (She was going through a stage of telling fibs), as she seemed fine most other times and it only seemed to be when I wasn’t with her that she would complain of these symptoms.

    Anyway, I took her to the doctor to be safe, where Amelia told them that she was only kidding and could see fine/didn’t have headaches anymore. (Here’s me sitting mortified thinking wee shite has just been at it!) She would go days without mentioning a thing. I was so wrong and still have guilt over this to this day. Then maybe a week or two later, she woke up with an upward turn in her left eye.

    I called the opticians to make an appointment. I thought it could be related to her genetics, as problems with eyesight are common in her dads family and I wasn’t worried. When I explained what her eye looked like, and the fact the turn had appeared suddenly, along with the intermittent symptoms she had been complaining of, they wanted to see us within the hour. This is when my mind started to wander but I was still thinking she would just need an eyepatch and glasses. The dizziness could be related to this right?

    We were in Specsavers for hours, while they tried to get to the bottom of the problem. They didn’t say much to us at the time, probably not to worry us. At the end of the visit they referred us to Hairmyers ophthalmology department for more tests as they were concerned but didn’t tell us what they were concerned about. So after more hours of tests at the hospital, watching various doctors/physicians enter the room and seeing worried facial expressions and body language.

    I started to realise this was more serious than I first thought. My mum and dad were with me, and the doctor asked if they could mind Amelia while we had a chat privately about her concerns. I remember feeling sick and sweaty. So many things running through my head. Then she said it.

    “Amelia has something growing on her brain. We’re not sure what this is yet, but it’s very serious and she needs a CT scan right away”, The world paused. My eyes filled and my vision blurred. I could tell the doctor was really worried. Which just intensified my anxiety more. She was only 5 years old.

    We were then referred to Wishaw general hospital that same day for a CT Scan. We had to go immediately and were told to expect an overnight stay. I called Amelias dad in hysterics and he met me at Wishaw. We were in a trance the full journey, so much running through our minds.

    She spent the night being observed in Wishaw and the CT scan results came the following day and confirmed her diagnosis. She had not one, but THREE puss filled abscesses on her cerebellum which were putting pressure on her optic nerve, hense the squint/dizziness/double vision etc. Caused by a bacterial infection which probably entered her brain through the ear (remember her ear infection a few weeks previous which we thought had cleared up?) She needed immediate treatment, but Wishaw was not equipped for this kind of condition.

    We were told it was very rare and she needed specialist paediatric neurosurgeons to take over her case. We were even asked if student doctors/specialists could meet her and look over her notes as things like this don’t happen often so would be very beneficial for them to see.

    That night, we were transferred for the 4th time in two days, by ambulance to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. On arrival, they sat her dad and me down, and explained that her condition was life threatening and that she must start IV antibiotics straight away. I thought she would be kept in for a week or two. I was wrong. The neurosurgeon explained she would be in for at least 8 weeks, with weekly MRI scans to monitor her progress.

    We were told she more than likely caught a severe ear infection from the hot tub as the warm temperatures are breeding grounds for bacteria. When we thought it had cleared, the amoxicillin had just masked her symptoms for a few weeks as it wasn’t strong enough to kill this strain of bacteria. In the mean time the infection spread to her brain, probably over the course of 4-6 weeks, unnoticed until the pressure on her optic nerve showed visual signs.

    We spent the next 8 weeks living on the neurology ward with the most amazing staff and volunteers. When you ask Amelia about her time at the hospital, she has nothing but happy memories and asks if she can go back. She doesn’t even mention the scary times. For this I’m so grateful ❤️

    I just wanted to share this as it was the most frightening time of my life. Please, please be extra careful when treating your hot tubs/pools and make sure you do this as regularly as possible. Also make sure to be vigilant when it comes to ear infections, they can be serious too! I was lucky that the IV antibiotics she received over those few months were enough to combat this infection and that she narrowly avoided brain surgery. She fought it off at 5 years old and is fighting fit today ❤️ My wee warrior. Even though hot tubs now scare me and they’re banned from my house lol.

    I hope by sharing our story it may raise enough awareness to save someone else’s life. If we hadn’t gone to the opticians that day we could’ve been in a totally different situation. I had no idea hot tubs could expose you to such harmful bacteria and I’m sure a lot of people are unaware of this.

    Ps. Can I just express my gratitude to all of these institutions which helped my girl. They saved her life and in turn saved mine. I will be forever grateful to our NHS 💙 It was this experience that encouraged me to become a Biomedical Scientist and one day be part of this amazing service.

  • Don’t Leave Kids Drinks In The Car Here’s Why

    Just in case you’re also one of those moms or dads who forgets to carry in all the sippies and bottles from the car after an adventure..

    the hubby pulled this one out before going anywhere else with the little one today, it’s got apple juice in it from an earlier trip out.

    I guess it was hot enough to spark his curiosity, and as we found is also hot enough to scold the inside of well anyone’s mouth, but most importantly the little ones. Thank god he found it before she did.

    Don't Leave Kids Drinks In The Car Here's Why
    Don’t Leave Kids Drinks In The Car Here’s Why

    I thought I’d share to help possibly avoid any burnt mouths and also to raise awareness on just how hotttt it gets in a closed vehicle in the summer time. Important to remember that the temperature could have been higher making it more dangerous, had the cup been left longer in the car. 🔥🔥🔥

    Thanks for sharing!!

    1. THIS CUP COULD HAVE BEEN HOTTER BUT WE ONLY LEFT THE CUP IN THE CAR FOR A SHORT TIME SO THATS THE MAIN POINT HERE.

    #2. everyone comparing this to a hot coffee, you’re point is null and void here. I don’t know anyone who sips their coffee right away at 150 degrees so they can burn the inside of their mouth, I mean the coffee cups literally say “caution, hot, will cause serious burns”. I surely don’t know anyone who gives their child a hott coffee. This whole post is about how hot a car can get, so not only are we worried about sippy cups, get ya damn kids out of the car, this is about how we as parents aren’t perfect, and how children can some times get a hold of things before we get a chance to.

  • Heatstroke Warning For Dog Owners

    ***Heatstroke Warning for Dog Owners***

    This was posted by a vet; they have given us permission for it to be copied.

    Today a dog died of severe heat stroke – exercised at 9 o’clock in the morning. If it was a child, the parents would be convicted of man slaughter and sent to prison. The long coated dog was being exercised in the local park at 9am this morning – it was already 21˚C.

    The owners where throwing a ball for the dog. Our loyal faithful friends will still pander to our requests of going with us for a walk or fetching the ball thrown even when they are under extreme stress of excessive heat. They don’t know to self regulate, because their pack leader has instructed them to walk with them or chase a ball etc.

    I turned up to the local park to park my car and walk to work. It was in the car park that I discovered the dog with the owners next to their car, suffering from severe heat stroke. The scene was; the dog lying flat-out on his side, semi-conscious, with extreme panting.

    His mouth and tongue were swollen up and a dark red/purple colour, there was a white frothy coating of saliva, the tongue and gums being fairly dry. The owners were trying to get the dog to drink some water, but the dog was entirely unable to do so.

    His belly was distended from panting and gulping air; this in itself can then restrict breathing. I was not equipped to take the dog’s temperature, but I could feel it was dangerously high. His pulse however was unusually slow.

    I had water in my car and doused the dog’s coat down and we wetted a towel to stretcher the dog in to the car and for him to lay on in transit. The dog was not registered with my practice, so I instructed the owner to take the dog to their own vet immediately.Once I had finished my shift at work, I phoned the owner’s vet to see if they could tell me how the dog was.

    He was dead. A 5-year-old, fit and healthy dog – dead. A death that was completely preventable. I asked the vet for details explaining that I was going to write this post. They were in support as long as names weren’t mentioned.

    Names are irrelevant, as this story will be happening all over the country.The owners took the dog straight to their practice were he was treated immediately. His body temperature was just shy of 42˚C. A normal temperature range for a dog is 38.3˚C to 39.2˚C, a rise of just 1 – 2˚C can have major effects on the dog’s body systems.

    The nurses commenced cooling of the dog and the vet put him on a drip with rapid infusion of fluids and electrolytes. However, within 10 – 15 mins of being admitted the dog began to seizure. Seizures are caused when the electrical impulses in the brain misfires and cause like an electrical storm in the brain so the muscle fibres of the body rapidly twitch uncontrollably.

    In this case, the excess heat in the brain disturbs the electrical impulses. This is an added issue as the activity of the muscles then acts to increase the dog’s temperature even more. It was at this point that the vet went to gain consent to administer anaesthetic to the dog to try to reduce the seizure and lower the respiratory rate.

    But as the vet was talking to the owner, approximately 20 mins after arriving at the practice, the dog began to vomit and pass diarrhoea. The vomit and diarrhoea were full of blood. This even to the untrained reader, you can appreciate is bad news. Once this was discovered, the dog’s gums were checked and small red/black spots were present, along with areas of bleeding on the abdomen.

    At this point the vet had to return to the owners and request consent for euthanasia.The dog was suffering from disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. This is a fancy veterinary term that means the dog’s body systems was unable to clot his blood and therefore he was bleeding internally. In the veterinary world, it is nicknamed Death Is Coming. The process is not fully understood, but it is thought that the excess temperature prevents the body from performing the myriad of chemical reactions that allow it to function normally. Loosely, this causes the body to activate clotting, causing hundred of clots within the body. Once all the clotting factors are used up, the blood can no longer clot, so widespread haemorrhage ensues.

    It causes major organ failure; the kidneys, the liver, the heart and the lungs cease to function effectively. With a bit of luck, the dog is unconscious by this stage, as this must be hugely uncomfortable and a terrifying death. For all those dog owners who think this was because the dog was chasing a ball and that is why he overheated, this can happen with your dog sat in the sun in the garden.

    It can take up to 60 days for a dog to acclimatize to a change in climate. I am pretty sure 60 days ago it was pouring with rain.Once the dog becomes mildly overheated, unless they are cooled, they will continue to overheat. Dogs cannot sweat effectively and can only really lose body heat through panting. The process of panting can in itself cause excess body temperature if it is prolonged or laboured.

    So, if you think it is too hot to put a thick coat on and go for a run, don’t make your dog do the same. If you think it is too hot to sit in direct sunshine for more than a few minutes whilst wearing a woolly jumper, then don’t make your dog do so. If it is too hot to stand on the pavement with your shoe and socks off, then don’t make your dog walk on it. If you don’t want to sit in your car without the air con on even if you have all windows wound down, don’t leave your dog in the car.If you are ever in any doubt of how to care for your dog in the warm or hot weather, speak your local vet practice. Better to speak to them now than your vet speaking to you to request consent for euthanasia.”

  • McDonalds Why Don’t You Cater For Babies

    Terri Taylor wants to know why McDonalds don’t cater for babies.

    Taylor said: “Mcdonalds I have a question for you!

    You refused to serve me water to heat milk for my 8 week old baby because of health and safety. Yet…. I could pay for a tealess tea and be given the boiling water!

    So I can be charged £1.19 for a tea with out a tea bag or milk and walk around you’re store with boiling water.

    Yet if I ask for water to heat my babies bottle my only option is to let your staff unhygienically prep my tiny 8 week old babies bottle. I can’t have the water to check it my self and prep it my self for health and safety reasons. Yet you’ll allow me to do exactly as I intended with the water once I’ve paid for a tea that you didn’t supply a tea bag for nor milk….

    Is this to avoid Mums feeding in your stores?

    Is this to rinse the already poor?

    Is this quite simply because you can?

    Because other stores have provided me with the water in a cup with a lid!

    I’m furious that you were willing to leave me unable to feed my daughter… family restaurant is what your advertised as.

    Share the hell out of this.

    I hope your ashamed McDonald’s.

    It’s not hygienic for your staff to prep my child’s bottle.

    It’s a small amount of hot. Not boiling hot water.

    I felt embarrassed as I begged for water. Only to then rethink and head back to the till and question my theory. Which proved to be right. You would give me water if I paid for a tea where I wasn’t provided with the tea bag or milk I’d paid for. Just hot water. Which then allowed me to feed my child.

    Fuming!”.

    Whats your thoughts should hot water be provided for free?
