999 Panic !!

Well where to start ??  you will all be expecting this to be Kirstie, but instead me Kerrie , her big sister is writing this blog as Kirstie is to poorly .
Monday morning started as usual, the begining of an exciting week as it was getting close to the "big day", I left the house to go pick up my bridesmaid dress from sidmouth, no sooner did I get back in the car, my phone was beeping, I'd missed a call from mum! playing back the message my heart sank as I heard my mum telling me that kirstie was bad, really bad!
Mum had had a call from one of Kirsties carers, explaning that Kirstie was struggling and was unable to come off her bipap, so mum made her way round to Kirstie as quickly as she could. When mum arrived Kirstie was still struggling, so an ambulance was called, whilst waiting for the ambulance Kirstie found it increasinly hard to breath and had started to turn blue.
By the time the ambulance crew had arrived Kirstie had a heart rate of 180 and sats in the 80's whilst on oxygen and her bipap, she was taken by ambulance to exeter hospital and has been kept in on HDU on a concoction of drugs to try to stabalise her, the main aim of this is to keep her well enough for the wedding on Thursday!
Tuesday morning yet more bad news , as we where told Kirstie might not be well enough to travel to to the wedding venue, after disscusions with the doctors, it was decided that they would be able to get kirstie to the venue, we just had to extra careful and have a plan put in place if anything was to go wrong!
So here we are on wednesday the night before the wedding, and instead of kirstie being in her lush hotel room, me my mum and kirstie are sat in her hospital room, not the best place the night before the wedding, but by far the most safest place right now, we have made the most of it and had a yummy takeaway, followed by strawberries, now all I can say is its time to rest ready for the day ahead.
love u sis soooooo much xxxxxxx

  9. i know how much this day means to kirstie and stuart. hope she has the strength to enjoy her day. if everyones heartfelt thoughts and best wishes and love could just get her through alone.

    I initially helped kirstie with looking for venues at the start when she had been told she couldnt have her destination wedding, so i am really praying for her that she is given a break today and its a good day.

  11. Its so heartbreaking as you know there is a cure but you just can't get to it, it is the most frustrating thing. My brother went through the same thing in and out of hospital. I hope your call comes soon. xxx

  20. I send love and prayers to you and your family now. Im sorry to hear such news, but I am also smiling because she will still get her day tomorrow. I started following Kirstie after seeing her on Russel Howards show, also because I have a good friend who will one day be doing this journey, and I guess I wanted to know a bit more, and be able to share happy stories because no matter what Kirstie always had some sparkle.
