April 2014 thread! - still continually supporting one another!

How did it go Cupcake- did you get good news about the job?

DH finished work today. Hurrah! He is asleep on a sun lounger in the gaden after a can of beer!

How did it go cupcake?

That's rubbish of the estate agents

I can't remember the name, it's a long name beginning with p, it doesn't say penecillin but the nurse said it was.... That makes sense to you!

He's definitely feeling much better. Still not eating much and very very tired tho, he missed out on a lot of sleep the past few days!

Hope you get the job Cupcake. What is it? Really good luck tomorrow.

DS, who should be in bed but woke up an hour ago and is sitting next to DH on the sofa, is chattering away to himself saying 'Tit-tit, tit-tit, tit-tit, tit-tit' No idea what he is on about. DH is chuckling away and repeating it which is making DS giggle and say it more. pathetic dad role model

That's great of ds! How long did it take in the end? I'm a bit confused on how to do it all.

Oh how exciting! Good luck for tomorrow really hope you get it.

Did you hear back from the house?

I started to write a complaint to the GP practice secretary but stopped because I was worried that it may affect the care we get

Ds still isn't right but today we have seen a huge improvement on how he has been. For the first time in a week he has eaten breakfast, a couple of small snacks and most of his dinner. We couldn't get him eating at all before so it's good.

Bit worried though, he had the anti biotics from the hospital, the doctor there said to give him them morning, noon and night, so that's what I had been doing since Tuesday. I noticed this morning on the bottle in really small writing it says give it 4 times a day started that from today, just hope it doesn't affect them working.

That was the same GP who told me he had a cold and I was overreacting when infact he had bronch and the hospital said he wouldn't have made it through the night! And he told me he just had gastro for weeks when he had milk allergy. I kept trying to correct him and he'd get snappy. He's an idiot!

How's ds1 doing with his potty training now?

Have you sorted a guarantor?

Oooh I hate heartburn I get it so bad when pregnant! I was prescribed gaviscon pretty early on this time.

Went to the Drs and kept saying I wanted a referral to the hospital and they kept saying no they won't as they have checked him and he is fine. I told them I bet I end up and a&e and they said if I did that I would be wasting their time as it wasn't an accident or emergency.

In the evening he got worse, he was screeching non stop, literally dripping with sweat and shaking, he wanted to be picked up but didn't want to be touched at all. I went to a&e.

They found out he has quite bad tonsillitis, apparently his tonsils have swelled (is that a word? ) right up so its no wonder he couldn't eat. They gave him anti biotics and more numbing sprays and told me to keep him on calpol or nurofen for the temperatures.

When we got home I gave him his meds and I couldn't believe the change in him. For the first time in 3 days he ate food and was asking for more. He had another bad night but it won't work straight away then he got up and had 3 bowls of porridge!!

I'm pretty pissed at the GP though, I kept saying to him that ds was repeatedly grabbing his throat and the GP looked in his mouth and said everything was fine.

How exciting cupcake! Fingers crossed you hear quickly!

He's bad again today. Been up since 2am after hourly wake ups. Ended up calling 111 and at 4am they wanted me to drive to the other side of the city to see a dr but I just couldn't do it, I was so tired I thought it would be too dangerous. They told me they send an e mail to my dr saying ds needs to be seen at the hospital this morning but I have just called the Drs and they're saying I have to go in to them first. I think they're going to say they won't refer me, if that happens in going to have to go to a&e poor ds is so tired but just can't sleep. Just wish I could make it go away.

He won't be put down at all and won't eat/drink much.

He got worse today even with calpol and being stripped off his temp was 38 at the lowest but usually around 39 something. He won't eat and is hardly drinking either. Took him to docs and they gave him a thorough check over and couldn't find any infection or anything, they said its viral.... As usual. I hate seeing him like this

Going to see how he goes the next day or so and if he's not getting better will take him to hospital for another opinion.

Cupcake that's wicked news about the house! Do they give a timeframe of when you will know?

Lulu does your ds still have naps in the day usually? Ds still has one most days, if he doesn't he is so difficult to keep up til bed time!

Glad he's feeling better cupcake, what a good boy speaking to the Drs!

My ds is stil poorly we have been up and down stairs since about 3am. I'm so so tired even with calpol and stripped off his temp is 39. He's never had such a high temp for so long.

No luck on a house yet. I'm still looking. I just don't know what on earth is going on with h though, he is in complete denial! He is even on about having even more children and I just don't know how to react any more.

Had he had an allergic reaction to something Cupcake? What did they do?

DS is having little waily tantrums these days. Today's was over him not being able to get the cats to come and play with him. They took themselves off and lay on the shed roof in the sun snoozing. He was beside himself because he couldn't reach them and they would not come down.

DH and I went and sat on the patio and left him to it. He threw himself on the lawn and eventually got distracted by the clover which he picked and brought across to me. He has had to have a nap.

Oh no cupcake how scary. is he fully recovered now? Was it just a virus that did that or something? And as for ds2, what a star!

Ds has been up all night too, no idea what was wrong but he was burning up and kept waking then around 10.30ish he woke up absolutely dripping in sweat and boiling. I had to strip all his bed. I gave him some calpol, biscuits and a drink while I did it then put him back to bed in just some pajama trousers ( he takes his nappy off if he doesn't have trousers!) and he woke around every 15/30 mins.

He's just gone for a nap so I am following!

Wow, my email dropped the latest video of yours about the pregnancy cupcake and I thought I better see what's occurred

Hope you are all doing well, dd is almost 15 months now!

Cupcake don't worry, I know it's easier said than done but with ds I had no symptoms what so ever until I got spd later on.
Ds is forever hitting his head, he always has a bruise!

That's a nice break for you lulu, who was your holiday again? Are you still using your camper van?

I will start again in September - have already had some requests for support from schools. We are just looking firward to the summer and our holiday.

DS does not understand it as putting things away, it is just entertainment for him. Easily pleased

It's good he puts it back, my ds still hasn't got the hang of that bit yet... Hopefully it will come.

Are you back at work now? Or taking time off with dh still?
