But following a visit to Truro\u2019s Royal Cornwall Hospital A&amp;E after Theo experienced breathing difficulties, a flight to St. Mary\u2019s Hospital in Paddington was inevitable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe could tell that Theo wasn\u2019t himself. I\u2019d been told earlier in the day that his observations were stable but, if we were still concerned, we should take him to hospital \u2013 and because of our gut instinct we decided to take him,\u201d explains Bethany. On arrival Theo was quickly taken to the Resuscitation Department in a critical condition, where doctors worked hard to help him breathe. It became clear that Theo needed specialist care and the Children\u2019s Air Ambulance was called to make a critical difference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlfie [Children\u2019s Air Ambulance, Head of Operations] and the WATCh team sat down with me to tell me what was going to happen, and really put my mind at ease. It was my first time flying so I was incredibly grateful for the team making me feel so relaxed. It felt like the weight was lifted off my shoulders. They may have been strangers at that moment in time, but they knew exactly what they were doing so I was confident handing my baby over to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to fly with us to be an essential part of our team. Your decision to donate is lifechanging to so many.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to your donations, the Children\u2019s Air Ambulance flew from Oxford to Bristol to collect a specialist paediatric revival team from Wales and West Acute Transport for Children Service (WATCh).<\/p>\n<p>Theo was then flown to London with Bethany while Kieren followed by train. This was a 268-mile journey that would have taken around 5 hours by road, an unthinkable distance at such a critical time. Instead, the flight took just two hours and three minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The WATCh team stabilised Theo upon arrival in St Mary\u2019s Hospital Intensive Care Unit and Theo\u2019s parents could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They learnt that Theo had suffered with Bronchiolitis and Rhino-enterovirus, and because he was so little, his body\u2019s way of coping was to stop breathing.<\/p>\n<p>Theo finished a lifesaving course of antibiotics and is now doing well. Thankfully, it isn\u2019t re-occurring and shouldn\u2019t affect him in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hadn\u2019t heard of the Children\u2019s Air Ambulance until we needed them, and we are so grateful for the service they provided,\u201d says Bethany.<\/p>\n<p>Theo\u2019s story is just one that had a positive outcome because of all our amazing supporters. We couldn\u2019t do this without you, thank you.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div
