Bethany came down with chicken pox in march 2012. As her skin condition was getting so bad and the chicken pox where looking very infected i took her to the doctors who put her on anti tics and told me not to use any of her creams for a whole week i used the medication i was given but it was not working. Bethany was getting very sick the doctors advised for me to take her to a and e with a letter that he had written. She was admitted to hospital and i was told she had severely infected chicken pox and needed to be on close watch and iv fluids and anti bitotics. Bethanys problems where breaking my heart i would not leave her side she had severe temperature and had to have her obs checked every 2 hours then it went to four. After nearly a week we was told we could go home but then something went very wrong. She had swabs and bloods taken while she was in their regularly. Bethany was diagnosed with septacemia of the blood. they said to me she would be in hospital on double the amount of medication through iv and Bethany stopped eating and drinking so she was also put onto fluids. i just wanted to shake a magic wanted to make her better but i couldn't and it killed me. after 2 days Bethany started eating and drinking and things started to get better. the doctors re took her bloods and 2 days later she was discharged on oral antibiotics for another two weeks. Due to not being able to cream her and barely allowed to bandage her Bethany scratched so much that near enough all of her chicken pox will scar. As septicemia could kill i was relieved that the only long term effect would be scars.
