J is poorly

[copingvquietly]

With viral meningitis :-(.were in hospital so am on my phone.cant reply very quickly.please pray for us.im petrified.jes and psycho it was good to hear your voice.

Thank goodness he seems ok xx well done you, it is so hard in hospital with a sick bubba. Glad your mum was a support to you

seeing her was weird.i called her late lastnight and had to ask her to come and see us.Ive never done that because our relationship is strained.but she was fine.actually kind and warm especially towards j.i feel a bit like Ive been hit by a bus at the moment.what i need is a bloody good cry and j home.

yep, you need a good sleep in your own bed, and a huuuge hug.
hope you get some zz's tonight -and get home as soon as it's practical

OMG CVQ I just saw this.

Really pleased J and you are getting out of hospital tomorrow and your visit with your mum went fine. Thank goodness he's feeding again and hope he's fully recovered very soon.

to you both xx

Poor baby.
I remember your post a few days ago about lack of sleep/crying
Glad to hear he is better.
Sending you lots of hugs

yeah
rest tonight in case j is up for a party tomorrow

no sleep for me.he is awake but feeding!

feeding is good - I'm expecting my DS to wake up tonight as he has been a tad unwell himself today - bit of D&V, quite listless in the mornign, not really wanting to feed too much but better by evening - so he is likely to get hungry! Nothing in comparison with your J though, I realise that.

I'm sure once he's fed he'll nod off again and let you get some rest.. fingers crossed for you!

Don't know your history with your mum cvq, but her visit sounds very positive - think it's a great idea that she comes to help you out as I think you will surely need a break when you get home, and a bit of TLC for you!

Glad to hear that J is feeding.

Take care.

we can go :-)
need to wait for j to wake though.

Great news!

fantastic
glad you're home.

Brilliant news that you got home today, really pleased for you both

hope it's going well now you're home again and that J has settled nicely. So pleased for you that he is on the mend!

hes a bit unsettled.just trying to calm him on the breast

Nice to be home?

Great news that you are home. Hope the night went well.

first night home and hes been awake on and off cryingi am totally exhausted as is he.

do you have to get up? If not, then try staying in bed with him and let him feed and doze as he needs to - and you doze at the same time. This is what I do with DS when he has a bad night - it is quite therapeutic, lets us both catch up on sleep and is nice for more bonding. He tells me when he has had enough of it and wants to get up!

Have you been told to give him calpol? I wouldn't normally go to it but when we brought DS home from hospital after his hernia op, it was the only thing that settled him down that first and second day (presumably pain relief for the scar).

were both still in bed actually.not the best night.he was awake on and off just crying.so its safe to say i am totally exhausted!

poor you, poor him - I hope you get some rest today (((hugs)))

is your mum likely to come again soon and give you a hand? Or have you not decided yet whether that would be a good thing?

im just talking to psycho about it actually.i might ask her if she wants to just come for one night.i need to try and give her a second chancei still love her.

hi CVQ, just checking in to see how you and J are doing - did you manage to get some rest today? has he stopped crying and is he any better?

What news on your mum - is she coming to stay?

Keep strong, you are doing a fantastic job
(((hugs)))

oi come over here
