Decided to bring her to the doctor. I just hope it's not bronchilitis again!! Thanks ladies will keep you posted x

BlearyeyedLol · 11/03/2014 18:16

Well it is bronchilitis again and I'm currently sat in the a&e waiting room HmmHmm

Alexandra6 · 11/03/2014 18:27

Oh I'm sorry lol Sad I don't know much about bronchilitis - what is it and how's it treated? Poor her, sending hugs.

BlearyeyedLol · 11/03/2014 18:30

It's basically a cold thy goes down the the lungs and she gets lots of mucus so can't breathe properly. The poor lamb is constantly crying and knackered with the effort. At least this time I know what to expect so am not panicking just yet!

MotherOfCleo · 11/03/2014 19:04

oh poor girl lol, hope she's over the worst soon!!! We should start an I hate bronchilitis club Sad I bought a vapouriser which actually really helped H, might be worth a try. Hope you got seen quickly!

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 11/03/2014 20:17

Poor child, hope she gets better soon!
Crayfish Alex- had you been having the crayfish noodle salad from Pret? (yum!)
Anyone else remember this anecdote on MN of the women who absentmindedly popped the raisin from her son's cot into her mouth, ate it, and then realised it was semi digested raisin from his nappy!?Shock

Cavort · 11/03/2014 20:55

Aww Lol, sending my sympathy for poorly L and a large Wine and Cake to help you get through it. I hope it clears up soon.

E's cold is now in full swing. I was doing her bedtime BF tonight and she sneezed and sprayed both of us with a combination of milk and snot. Lovely.

Alexandra6 · 11/03/2014 20:58

Oh poor her lol must be horrible, hope she recovers quickly Sad

Yes those pret salads are gorgeous although not sure I can ever enjoy crayfish with a straight face again The crayfish-gate thread has become a bit of a surprise comedy thread but I thought this post was good to know for anyone as paranoid and crazy as me Grin

ha ha, this made me laugh. Warning for the future - when they eat banana they get wormy looking bits in their nappy from the stringy bits (I'm sure there's a technical name...). I thought it was worms the first time it happened!

Alexandra6 · 11/03/2014 20:59

Oh no poor E, lots of poorly berry babies! Sad

PickledLilly · 11/03/2014 21:01

Oh no, not another poorly one! Hope all the babies feel better soon.

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 11/03/2014 22:01

It really is something doing the rounds isn't it? Reckon with the sudden season change..poor babies!! Hugs to all the poorly mites.

Wait, there's a separate crayfish gate thread?

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 12/03/2014 01:44

Ahhhh!!! All's well that ends well though, right? Grin

Did anyone else notice sleep was worse after vaccinations? Sophia's been sleeping so well lately and after her first set of vaccs, she slept right through. However she had her 12 week vaccs today and has been waking more tonight - we were down to one wake up overnight but it's only half three and she's been up for feeds twice.

Quodlibet · 12/03/2014 03:44

Alex W had jabs today too. She has been fluctuating lately between going right through and waking 3 times before 7am, can't find rhyme not reason to it!

MotherOfCleo · 12/03/2014 08:20

alex the first jabs seemed to break H's sleep and the second set fixed it again...mmthen he got poorly....yawn. God knows what the third ones will do.

Oh an quod H is like that too, really unpredictable!

Alexandra6 · 12/03/2014 09:13

I had the first set in the morning and she slept through, second set in the afternoon and broken sleep - prob nothing to do with it but wondered about time of day. She only woke up twice in the end for short feeds and slept 7.30pm-7am so I can't complain. Poor little S was giving the nurse big smiles, no idea what was coming, but she only cried for one minute and then back to smiles! I did my best fake cheerful smile at her and distracted her with my kissing game - basically I just kiss her different places like her head, foot, hand, tummy etc and she loves it, the more I laugh, the more she does! So cute. She's woken up very content today and I hope it lasts as we're off to sensory and the pub this afternoon.

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 12/03/2014 09:39

That sounds like a perfect day Alex.
How are all the poorly berry babies today?

BraveLilBear · 12/03/2014 11:11

Aw Alex good work!

Sorry to hear L is so poorly again Lol :(

H is still locked into his fever - onto day 3 now. He won't eat and not keen on milk, but is taking water.

And we now have big yellow snot. Poor love. Am off work again to look after him.

Well I managed one day, go me!

BlearyeyedLol · 12/03/2014 12:47

We spent the night in hospital and have been told we will be here for at least another one. She was on oxygen for the whole night but is now off it and breathing fine. She also has a uti and is taking antibiotics. All in all not very pleasant!
Brave sorry H is poorly and having explosive diarrhoea!
I am beyond tired ConfusedConfused

ZombiesAreClammyDodgers · 12/03/2014 13:07

Oh god bleary that's horrible Sadbut glad she is doing ok without the oxygen now.

BraveLilBear · 12/03/2014 13:36

Oh Lol you poor thing :( not surprised you're tired! Have you got any support or are you flying solo? Sending love to the pair of you.

Hoping the diarrhoea is a one off, could be just a reaction to no food, more formula, etc could also be that the formula has been open for too long.

No biggy though compared to little L and t'other H

HazleNutt · 12/03/2014 13:44

Oh poor babies!

Thanks ladies. Dh has taken a day off and will also be working from home tomorrow. He was here until 3am and came back at 11. At least he is playing with her now so as I can MN rest. We will be staying another night just for extra checking and as much as I'm tired I'm happy with that!
