Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘Fallen’ and you can read more about that below.

I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week. Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW

MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Fallen
Last week my word was sick when both my Little Man and me were both poorly. But things went downhill when the Little Man went to the GP for the second time and his SATs had fallen to 92. This is the rate of oxygen getting into the lungs and it was obvious he was struggling to breath. His heart rate had not fallen though, because he couldn’t breathe properly it was very high for his age.
The GP wanted to send him to hospital but then his SATs improved a little and after about 20 minutes they stayed a little more stable. My boy is very poorly and I’ve had to keep a very close eye on him. His SATs have fallen lots of times but the GP said to take him to A&E if he stays at 92 for any length of time. Thankfully, he has been able to keep them slightly higher. His temperature has fallen thanks to lots of paracetamol and ibuprofen. We can’t seem to get his resting heartbeat down though. On Wednesday night he slept nearly all night. He sounded awful, but at least he slept. I’m hoping he will recover soon and not need further intervention.
That’s not all though. On Tuesday evening I was cooking dinner sitting on my chair and I really can’t remember what happened but I ended up on my back on the floor. My chair had fallen over and so had I. Thankfully, I didn’t have a spasm so I was able to call for help and my son helped me back to my feet while my daughter got my wheelchair behind me. I was sore and aching, but otherwise okay. I just wish I could remember why I had fallen.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week?
Poor Little Man. Sats of 92 are very low. I’m glad they came back up again and hopefully they stay up. Hope he feels better very soon. Sorry to hear that you had a fall this week. Glad your son and daughter were on hand to help and that you were okay other than soreness and aching. #WotW
It’s been a really tough couple of weeks with the Little Man but he’s getting better now.
Oh no! So sorry you are both still poorly. And the fact that you can’t remember how or why is concerning. We do wish you both well. Nice you are still trying to get around for your family and good that they are there to help you too.
We are both on the mend now. The Little Man is going to try and spend the next few days at school. So he doesn’t miss the end of term.
Oh my goodness. Poor little man, I hope he gets better very soon and they can find out what’s going on with him. Sorry you had a fall too, I hope you feel better soon. Glad your son and daughter were there to help you. Hugs
After two visits to the GP he did start to recover and we avoided A&E and an xray. He’s still recovering but doing much better now.
Oh no! What a rotten week, especially for your Little Man. The poor thing, I hope he is doing better now!
It sounds like you were lucky not to seriously injure yourself. x
The Little Man is on the mend and I am lucky. I still can’t believe I didn’t break anything how hard I fell.
So sorry to hear that your Little man has been so sick. I hope he gets better soon! I’m glad to hear you were ok after your fall.
The Little Man is getting better, I think it’s the worst he’s ever been. I’m okay after my fall which is really surprising how quick and hard I went down.
