Today is indeed another day.

You ok Shabs?

How is ds PPM?

It's dh first day back at work after two weeks holiday so both ds and I have got a face on us today. I need to buck my ideas up as dc see to feed off of your mood don't they?

shabbapinkfrog · 05/01/2011 09:10

Im OK thanks. The EE thread really peed me off. I know I shouldn't let stuff like that get to me but its just the kind of person I am. Some people will never 'get it' IYKWIM xx

Morning all x

ppm how is your ds this morning ? I hope you mnagaed to get some sleep , I always have mine in bed with me too when they are ill , I can't settle unless I can hear them breathing .

How you doing Shabs ? The EE thing is pissing me off as well but I just can't stay away from the bloody thing .

Nice to see you Ilike How is that bump coming along ?

Hiya everyone - rough night last night, his temp is still spiking and he won't eat but i'm trying to keep his fluids up. Got an emergency docs appt this morning and thankfully saw my usual doc who has given him a thorough going over and then given me the 'just a virus' chat!! I had a feeling that would be what was said but this doc really understands so i have to keep doing what we are doing.

I have decided that self preservation re EE is important so I am not going to mention EE again (for sake of my own sanity) instead I have posted hardhitting statistics to my FB page which I hope will help increase awareness.

I hope the GP has put your mind a rest ppm - even if only a little bit.

Hi TW - the bump is coming along rather well thanks. 24 weeks this week and over the past week it has dawned on me that I am having another baby THIS year

travellingwilbury · 05/01/2011 18:41

Scary thought Ilike Very exciting though Grin

ppm How is your ds doing now ? It is bloody horrible when they are poorly isn't it ? I am surprised we don't all live in the a and e car park .

spilttheteaagain · 05/01/2011 19:29

Ilike lovely thought! 24 weeks is one of those big milestones. Are you getting your insides kicked to bits now?

ppm how's ds doing now? I can't imagine how stressful it must be for bereaved mummies with poorly children Sad I hope he's much better now.

Having a funny old day today. I've been throwing up what with being 7 and a bit weeks and really sad with it. I cried on the way home for the little baby I'm not having and how crappy I feel now when I've already done this bit and shouldn't feel sick anymore.

peterpansmum · 05/01/2011 19:46

been back at the gp again this evening as I couldn't get his temp under control... I see a pretty wet junior doc who was very indecisive... By the time I bundle us into car n drive to the surgery ds1 has rallied round and the temp has dipped into normal range... Doc does all the checks then says that he had chatted to other (more senior) doc and cause of family history wants to have him admitted for observation ... Anyway I then say to him is there an actual medical reason to admit him(cos we all know how much sleep u get in hospital not to mention all the other bugs floating around in there plus my obvious aversion to THAT particular hospital) very very woolly not really answer so I have brought him home again put him to bed with me and sincerely hope tonight he turns the corner and starts to get better!!!! Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

travellingwilbury · 05/01/2011 19:51

ppm I know it is scary and I know it is shite . I have nothing to say that will help but know that I am with you x

Is there another hospital you can go to if you do get worried ?

I know I could never take one of mine to that hospital .

shabbapinkfrog · 05/01/2011 19:54

Oh sweetheart wish I could actually physically help....the miles between us is very frustrating. I totally understand why you dont want to go to that hospital. Keeping everything crossed for you all xxx

travellingwilbury · 05/01/2011 19:59

ppm Can I ask what his temp is spiking to?

I know it doesn't really help but Jamie was spiking over 40 a couple of yrs ago and I was terrified , but a lovely out of hours dr took a lot of time to explain to me about the difference in children and that 40 in a child is scary but it is because their body is working properly and I know you know this already but nurofen is better for a high temp than calpol .

I wish I was closer too x

peterpansmum · 05/01/2011 20:29

Thanks both... I know the distance is frustrating but I have more support from u guys via my iPod than I do from close friends nearby, I've hardly told anyone he is ill cos I can't cope With the extra questions iykwim. And I do know it's cos folk care but we all gotta do what we need to do heh!!

His temp is peaking up around 40 which in itself doesn't freak me out cos he is prone to getting temps of 40 - 42 when he is poorly. Have been spacing the doses of paracetemol and ibuprofen. There is another hospital but no paed ward. THAT hospital is being replaced with another one which is already built and half the svces have tranferred but not childrens ward or a and e as yet...

travellingwilbury · 05/01/2011 20:41

ppm I knew you would know Grin

Another long night ahead , but hopefully all will be calmer tomorrow x

peterpansmum · 05/01/2011 21:04

Here's hoping TW, here's hoping xxx

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 05/01/2011 21:13

Thinking of you and your ds PPM. I bet you'll be very glad when the childrens services are transferred to the new hospital

How are you doing spilt? Emotions can be up and down anyway, then add pregnancy hormones into the mix and it's a bloody potent cocktail.

peterpansmum · 05/01/2011 22:01

Hell yeah ILike !! He is pretty unsettled tonight but at least the temp is under control for now xxxx

shabbapinkfrog · 05/01/2011 23:02

Hope you both get a good nights sleep. xxxx

hazygirl · 06/01/2011 06:01

ppm hope your son had a better night, its awful when they are ill isnt it,and hope you get some rest too,xx

shabbapinkfrog · 06/01/2011 06:45

Morning girls xx

travellingwilbury · 06/01/2011 07:46

Morning all xx

ppm I hope your ds (and you) had a more settled night

peterpansmum · 06/01/2011 08:30

Really disrupted night again and more high temps but he said the magic words 'i'm hungry' this morning so am hoping he's over the worst.. Time will tell heh! Xx

shabbapinkfrog · 06/01/2011 08:46

'I'm hungry' sounds a good start to the day Smile

Tom said he had a bad stomach ache...I made him go to school Hmm I feel crap now because he has had to almost run there. Have been sat here imagining he has a burst appendix and that he will get knocked down crossing the busy road. Feel really bad that we parted on bad terms this morning.

travellingwilbury · 06/01/2011 09:20

Fingers crossed ppm sounds like a good sign to me Smile

Shabs all will be well , I always feel double guilt now too if I have been grumpy with the boys . But we have to still be strong with them .

I do know that voice in the head though "If Harry was here I would let him stay home whenever he liked just to see him again "
