I know!! Can't cope!

NatalieJane · 28/11/2007 08:38

Knock knock, anyone home??

LuckySalem · 28/11/2007 14:39

Yo NJ!! How are you?

NatalieJane · 28/11/2007 16:34

Hiya very pregnant Jen!! Was shocked when I read how close you are!! Sounds like work has been a bit of a pita, tossers!

We're not doing so well at the moment, George is heading towards another fit, waiting for doctor to ring me but I will probably still be waiting when he is fitting and we are on the way to hospital again.....

On a brighter note, it is his birthday next Friday, can't believe he is nearly a year old already, where on earth has the time gone????

Anyway will catch up better when George is OK.

Love to all Nat xxxx

He has febrile convulsions, it is when his temp get's too high, it seems to me he has a problem keeping his temp. stable when he has a fever. Normally when you get a fever your body fights to lower the temp. then when you give the paracetamol/nurofen, the body and the tablets bring the temp. down to managable temp. George's just get's higher and higher the medicine keeps the edge off it, but until the fever breaks he is at risk of fitting.

Not had any help what so ever from doctors/hospital, only reason I take him is because they can give him higher doses of paracetamol than we're allowed to. They seem to view it as nothing to worry about, bit different when you are watching him fitting - as I am sure you know xxx

How is Chloe getting on now Trace?

trace2 · 28/11/2007 20:08

nat so sorry about your ds, yes my dd1 whos now 23 was like this (sorry) until shes was 6 years old and yes they are not nice, but i know they can give you stonger meds for this cos they did her! and you still should be under a pead at the hospital they are bloody scarry.

Hi everyone

Just to let you know his fever broke last night, so no hospital trips or fits for now - very relieved!

Got DS1 at home today with the same bug that DS2 has, at least I don't have to worry about his temp. spirraling out of control!

Trace, have they actually said what is the causing the seizures with Chloe?

Hope you are all well, love to all, Nat xxx

Hello everyone

Peachy, hopefully still on the move, just crossing our fingers we can sell our house, with the down turn in the market, got a feeling we are going to be stuck here for a while. Still a few if's and but's, but one thing is for sure, once the house has sold, (what ever year that maybe) we are moving somewhere away from here, maybe Spain, maybe back down where my mum is, anywhere but here will be good enough for me!

George had his birthday last Friday, we opened his pressies here, then piled into the car for the journey down to my mums - which took 6 hours, got to mums about 6 o'clock, had a tea party and cake, opened his pressies, fell into bed, then on the Saturday my sister's all came over with their families and we had a mini-christmas day. The boys had that many pressies, the car was absolutely jam packed full coming home, and we have a Vectra, so it isn't a little car! We actually left a bottle of wine and some lager in her fridge, because we literally couldn't get it in the car!! only took 4 hours on the way home which was lovely compared to Friday!

Anyway, I have once again waffled on too long! Hope you are all well, take care xxxxxx

Hi trace, things OK here I've just had a sad few days. My very dear Uncle died last week and we had the funeral yesterday. It was a very difficult day but we are now home and looking foward to our first christmas as a family.
Big news though Maya took four steps this evening!!!!!
It would be great to hear from Coggy. I do try to look for her but haven't seen here around for a while

LuckyStarOfBethSalem · 28/12/2007 15:04
