His wheezing is worse now. Have given him his inhaler. More nurophen. Mil has taken him out as he is having another crying fit. Seems once he is upset he can't calm down. We had guests and them leaving triggered his crying.

gte it might be worth asking a pharmacist about piriton or something, perhaps the high pollen count is exacerbating things?

Rik Mayall is dead. wtaf?!?!

GT keep a close eye on the wheeze and do not give any more Ibuprofen. I would be thinking about getting him seen by a Dr to be honest. You cannot fuck with breathing.

None of my clients have turned up today. Not a single one.

Just checked with my Dr colleague. The brufen may be making the breathing worse as it can with some asthmatics. Best get him checked and get proper medical advice x

hope he's ok gt?

qq. dn has chicken pox. we spent a lot of time with them last weekend. should i be on spot watch?

i probably bloody am silk deliberately infected him 2 weeks ago i had no idea and would never have gone to group if i knew

It is impossible to deliberately infect, but I am guessing she deliberately exposed him. He may get it, he may not. Time will tell.

I can't believe Rik Mayall is dead I luffs bottom and the young ones.

Get him checked out gt. DP and I are both asthmatic and have been told not to take neurofen. Not sure if it's the current advice but worth speaking to someone and getting him seen as a precaution.

I've been signed off work for a week. DP spoke to the HR manager where he works and he is taking this week as annual leave so we're both home now until next Monday. We aim to make the most of the nice weather and spend some quality time with C.

I think C has got hayfever. He keeps sneezing and rubbing his eyes all the time. I should get something from the pharmacy. He was the same last year but because he was under a year old we couldn't find anything to give him.

Perse I hope your week off will be healing x 1 in 11 will have a reaction to brufen that affects their breathing so most people are ok with it.

Some good advice Pidj - good luck with whatever you decide to do.

GT yy to stopping ibuprofen, it's a no-go for some asthmatics. I second (third?) getting him seen if he's still wheezy - especially given how upset he was earlier.

YW F is he same with the heat this yr - she's hone to bed practically naked the past few nights. Mind you, as soon as she gets warm, her eczema starts itching and she gets which doesn't help.

Have also been wondering how Stunt and co are?

Js eczema is worse with the heat too, plus his sodding teeth. DH wants to reduce the Omeprazole. What is it with these men???

Oh and the sceptre is back, and much improved

Eczema bad here too. She reacted to suncream last week but have found some that isn't waterproof (holds in sweat which irritates the skin) and perfume free. Avene and La Roche posay in case anyone needs something similar. That plus regular baths but then a slathering of cream as soon as she is out (as she reacts to the water) and long sleeve cotton vests to stop her itching when she starts seems to be doing the trick. Long weekend survived anyway.

Nearly lost my new parasol with a sudden windstorm a few minutes ago but LO suddenly shouted "Look!" While pointing at the window so caught it in time. Useful baby, good baby. :o

Pidj spots can appear 21 days after first exposure. J played with 3 infected pals 10+ times and didn't get it. It's possible he had some immunity left over from BF (though its not foolproof, my DN got it whilst being BF). Good luck on spot watch its a pain in the arse - we had to avoid all baby groups, nursery, the docs surgery, anywhere crowded.... hence he got exposed 10+ times as the only folk we could play with without risking infecting folks were his buddies with the pox! I was so convinced he must have caught it (they were sharing drinks, food, toys) I thought there was no need to avoid them. I'm sure your pal just decided she'd not exclude her child until she knew they'd caught it. It's a bit riskier but being housebound does suck.

VQ effectively if you don't increase the dose as he grows he'll grow out of the omeprazole anyway. Bloody men so impatient!

Perse try some local honey (this springs not last years if possible), for C, eating local honey cured my hay fever.

He has been high maintenance this evening. Gave him calpol. Another puff on inhaler and he then happily ate a banana ( first time in a while). He is in bed now.
If he is wheezing in morning will call gp.

Sil gave inhaler in evening. She managed to hold it on his face for 40seconds with a puff every 10 seconds. And he seemed alot better after it. Maybe I'm not doing it right.
I do 2 puffs and hold it on as long as poss. Then give him a lil break then do it again.

Ps I only learnt what (sic) meant yesterday. I've always wondered!

At useful baby.

Perse, I am glad that you and DH have some time off together this week. Look after yourself x

GT, I would second getting H checked by a doctor. My asthma gets pretty bad when it's hayfever season and I have to take hayfever tablets religiously, otherwise I really suffer. I wouldn't be surprised if that, plus the humidity today is making him suffer a bit. On the other hand, I am an asthmatic who can handle ibuprofen.

GT I think you need to read the instructions for the inhaler and make sure you are doing if right, and that others only do it if they have been shown how.

What does (sic) mean?

Sicophantic?

means i phrased it that way deliberately. will Google later when on laptop.

dn defense has cp just hoping r doesn't on top of all current crap. am most that the choice was taken away from me iyswim

Sic is used when quoting someone and there is a mistake in the quote and you don't fix it. From what I understood.

Sil DD has a pump, which is why i let her do it. Off to read instructions.

Sic :)

So GT is right.

Evening!

gt our GP always looked a bit queasy when I mentioned nurofen and he would always urge just calpol until DH outright asked why. His son had a terrible wheezy response which scared him. But should H not have a spacer as well? I can't see how you can get a proper dose in him without one?

I think I do know what you mean pp. Did SIL deliberately take R knowing it would expose him? I just find that really strange that anyone would still do that knowing what we do now. Fingers crossed that he doesn't develop anything or if he does it passes without too much incident.

Glad that the Crown Jewels are back on form vq!

Perfectly nice bedtime in passacres has been thrown into chaos by a dancing related incident. P face palmed into the door frame at speed. I had a few minutes where I thought A&E was an option but she seems ok now. What a state though! She posed for a picture looking suitably sad-face.

A week off for family time sounds lovely perse. Take your time and make sure you are fully well and ready before returning to work
