can I burden you with another moan? my dd has been ill again - this time with infected eczema (really really bad, like no skin anymore on lots of bits of her body, completely open and raw and weeping). I got her to school last week by going in at lunch time and giving her antibiotics and redressing the sore places but at the weekend it flared up really badly and she had to go to our out of hours service Waited 2 hours for a booked appointment and all they did was put the WRONG type of dressing on - and send her home in agony. dh took her as part of my plan to involve him in her care. I had the long straw - looking after his dementing mum.
Yesterday got her to the GP nurse practitioner who was a sweetheart and gave me everything in her cupboard plus 3 pages of prescriptions for her. But she has to be wetwrapped each day and wear it to school - can you imagine her upset today when we got there? The teacher had warned her class so nobody was mean thank goodness and she can't even wear uniform on top as it's not cotton so she is in shorts and a white polo shirt. She screams each time I put the special ointment and then the gloop and then the dressing (non stick but it does) and then the double layer of tubifast on top and then tie all the sections together so she looks like a badly wrapped joint of beef. I have to go in to top up ointments and give her the meds at lunchtime each day. may be even more tomorrow.
She has become allergic to micropore now (huge sore weeping weals last week) so she can't even have that on to hold them on but any way the scabs do that. Pulling off the dressings is awful. Oh how I hate this - last night she cried and cried. this is so unfair. poor little mite.
two weeks ago she missed school trip to france for aweek as her asthma was so bad the gp said she shouldn't travel. and a stay in hospital too.
ok moan over, got it off my chest
aaaarrrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
