Happy Birthday Blathers... and Ethelred if it is around now and we're not all making it up!!!
Poor Imogen still isn't better. As you know last week she had a high temp on Thursday night, and a low one on friday (where she slept nearly all day!). She seemed better, but on both Saturday and Sunday in the late afternoon her temperature spike up to a low fever but she seemed fine so I didn't give her anything. She then had a cough and runny nose, but seemed fine and went to the childminder on mon, tues and weds - quite happy in herself, cough only lasted 24 hours, runny nose just a little bit. Yesterday seemed fine until late afternoon when I thought she was just tired, but she screamed and screamed getting ready for bed and again after being in bed only 10 minutes. We eventually bought her downstairs and despite being a daddy's girl didn't want anything to do with him, just wanted to sit on my lap. She didn't seem to have a temperature, but we gave her iboprofen as something was obviously bothering her. Eventually she went back to bed about 8.30, slept for about an hour then woke up crying again and wouldn't settle. I took her into the spare room and just laid her next to me on the bed and she was quite happy there and went to sleep after a bit, managed to get her back to her cot and after a quick scream slept until past 9 am this morning.
This morning she had her milk, refused to eat anything at all (even fruit or biscuits!!) and just wanted to sit on my lap. Her temperature had gone quite high again so I managed to get some calpol into her (thank god for those syringes!) and then she just wanted to go back to bed. I've rung the doctor and they've asked me to take her in this afternoon.
Sorry, such a long waffling post. I'm just feeling a bit rubbish too with blocked head and DH has been out every night with work (and was away last week) so just feeling sorry for myself I think. I just rang DH at work and cried on the phone like an idiot!!! We've been doing swimming lessons since she was 10 weeks old and we didn't go last week because of her temp and now we can't go today to her last ever lesson so I am gutted (for her and me!) about that too.
Hope you are all OK!
