FEB 2010 Three is a magic number, yes it is......

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

Come and take shelter from the DC here, folks!

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

Ah CP, my sympathy - now I've had some experience of it myself! The atopic patch on DS' forehead clears after a few days of hc, is clear for a few days more then starts to make a come back, so off we go again. Dreary.

[ClimbingPenguin]

I still can't get over how quickly we get through toilet paper now DD is potty trained.

[SocietyClowns]

Try having two.. My parents think we eat the stuff whenever we visit .

[StoneBaby]

So instead of going back to pre-school and me to work we're home as DS woke up with 39.5C fever. As it's his 4th day with tenperature, I've booked a GP appointment. The journey home was fun (not) with him been unwell - the journey lasted 12 hours between the car and ferries

Waves to all

[ClimbingPenguin]

I'm waiting a call back from the GP for DS. He won't stay awake. He is easily woken but goes straight back off. He is drinking water and breastmilk and no fever, but also runny poo's. DH showered him at 5:30 this morning and he fell asleep three times in the process.

[LeMousquetaireAnonyme]

SB and CP hope it is nothing.

[StoneBaby]

CP I hope it's nothing major and that the gp can see you asap

DS has got nothing it's just a virus. It's actually difficult to explain to the doc that he's unwell as he's bubbly, alert and eat. Also as I gave him some ibuprofen at 7am the temp was gone.

[ClimbingPenguin]

he is hydrated despite the amount of water he has been having (which is double normal). He is on the Dioralyte sachets and she wants to see him this evening to check he is getting hydrated as he has done wees today.

[ClimbingPenguin]

he is de-hyrated obviously

[StoneBaby]

The poir little thing. Fx he'll improve.

[StoneBaby]

Sorry poor

[ClimbingPenguin]

thanks and meant to "has done no wees today"

how is your DS?

[StoneBaby]

He's okay but yiu can see that he's tired. Plus when the ibuprofen or paracetamol wear off he becomes clingy unwell again.

How is your DS doing?

[Bearcrumble]

Hope they both get well soon.

[StoneBaby]

DS has gone to bed at 5.45pm after eating a slice of bread with philadelphia It's so unlike him... I just hope he gets over this bug quickly.

CP what did the GP said this afternoon?

[InmaculadaConcepcion]

Ah, sorry to hear about the poorly LOs CP and SB.... how are they doing now?

Big turnaround with DD. I think our amateur play therapy is having the desired effect. She wanted to go to nursery today (I gave her the choice) and once there, had a great time and was in no hurry to come home today and is looking forward to tomorrow. Huge relief!

Also...I think we've finally turned a corner with the withholding (which I've also been including in the play "therapy"). The last three days have seen her much more relaxed doing her Number Twos and the change in her general demeanour is incredible - it's like she's gained in confidence about her ability to deal with anything now she's stopped being so scared of doing a poo. Talk about a change from the snivelling wreck who wouldn't get off the sofa last week!! I can't tell you how relieved I feel. Okay, there's bound to be some backsliding, but this finally feels like a breakthrough. DD even took an interest in using the toilet again today, first time in a while. It's all good

[StoneBaby]

IC yepee!!!

[NK2b1f2]

IC great news!

[StoneBaby]

NK is that you SC?

[NK2b1f2]

Sorry,yes.
Dd2 went to bed very excited because tomorrow is a nursery day... I love her enthusiasm!

[SurvivalOfTheUnfittest]

Trying this on my phone.
Great news IC on both counts. Long may it all continue.
SB hope ds is well soon. I hate it when they are poorly.
CP what was the outcome this evening? Hope ds is okay. It sounds scary. Big hugs to you all.
Seeing the nurse tomorrow at 8.15 re my asthma.
DS1 and 2 enjoying their new trampoline in the sun today. Joint present for them both from several relatives.

[ClimbingPenguin]

I posted on fb but he is much better.

still got runny poos so we need to be careful, but just so good to see him interacting again. Been a bit emotional afterwards and it wasn't that bad or for that long in the grand scheme of things. I think GP was close to sending us to the hospital this morning. Fever's are one thing, when they are just laying there not moving or crying is another.

[ClimbingPenguin]

It has been so nice to have the sunny weather. This will be the first summer with a proper garden and I think I will love it. Might even get to make dinner in peace.

[StoneBaby]

DS woke up fine this morning, he was starving tho. So back to pre-school for him and work for me

[NK2b1f2]

Dd2 woke at just past 5 this morning after a bad dream and it took me ages to calm her down. She said she did not want to go back to her old nursery! Just when I was getting over my guilt to leave her there two months longer than I would have liked...
She had another lovely day in her new nursery today and came out smiling. She says she's had a very tiring day . So have I... I never went back to sleep this morning because I knew my alarm would go off any minute...
