Tiny fighter Ridge needs your support

Blackballs gorgeous 13 month old Ridge had a bug early last week, nothing remarkable, clear snot, no temperature, was drinking, eating and playing as normal.

Friday he developed a slight cough, again, nothing remarkable, it was dry, no bark no wheeze no high pitch noise.

By early hours Saturday he had a slight rattle in his chest and he was quite fractious so he was taken into ED to have him checked. They admitted him with just below normal O2 levels and diagnosed him with bronhiolitis, again, nothing remarkable.. just to monitor him. By Saturday afternoon his breathing was laboured so they decided to fly him to chch hospital, by the time the plane arrived he had to be intubated cos he couldn't maintain his breathing at all. He's been in ICU since in an induced coma.

Negative swabs for RSV, Covid and the flu.

As most of you know Ridge has a 4 week old sister, Bobby is the household sole provider and has had to take time off work at this stressful time to take care of her while Billie is bedside with Ridge.
