Oh yellow hen I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling like this are you under an allergist/paediatrician? I can recommend a really good allergy guy if you're not already with one

We're with a respiratory consultant but I intensely dislike him. Could you recommend your guy? Is he specifically allergy?

We only have the one (not by choice, TTC is a long process for us!) and some days I am grateful, we only have one as I couldn't handle two of them!

My guy went to bed at about 7.30 woke at 6.55. Its his first birthday so daddy jas the day off so we coukd do something. So we brought him in to our room and for the first time since he was tiny he fell back asleep in our bed. I woke with a foot in my face.

Toddler seems much better. Woke at 8.45 for breakfast. Took a fit of coughing eating it and puked then cried cause i took ot away.
Seems to be in flying form since. I made her more breakfast and she ate it all .

So we all got a good sleep last night. Long may it last.

Bought the angle care thing that will sound an alarm if baby stops breathing or moving. We are both sleeping with 2 eyes closed now. Such a relief to have it .

Must find his alarm clock tho. He has it set to 5am and I could do to changing it to 7 :pac:

S fainted or collapsed or had a possible strange seizure again. Think she needs an EEG. I'm so stressed out over her there's always something.

Oh cyning, that's frightening. How is she now? Was she out for long?

Suucee

Was lil guys birthday today so we headed off. So he didnt have his usuals nap. Instead of napping 2hrs he had a 40min nap in the car then abou 30 mins on way home but was so much later than normal. (He also fell back to sleep in our bed this morning which he never does) He normally goes to bed at 7/7.30. He has only settled now. Hopefully for the night.

cyning! R u guys ok? Poor S! xxx

cyning

Ya we are fine... Well I'm peed of, upset etc I just feel like I never, ever get a break with her. Her temp is dropping tonight so Id query a febrile seizure myself her dad had them a lot as a child. I just don't want her to have an EEG or anything I'm sick of her being poked and prodded at. She was out for about 30 seconds went all floppy didn't respond to me at all. She was so so upset when she came too.

Cyning I was going to ask if she had a temperature prior to or during the seizure. But and eeg would be a good idea to rule out anything else like epilepsy or other reasons for the seizure/convulsions. The poor little pet. You are right to get it fully checked out. I just want to send hugs. I really really really hope things start to get a bit easier for you.

cyning

ITs just a battle with her all the time: I don't know how people who have seriously ill children cope. I'm worn out from it and there's nothing wrong with her except she gets sick a lot.

Cyning, my 2 have been on off sick since Xmas and I'm absolutely worn out with it. And it is literally nothing compared to what you guys have gone through. So it's ok to feel exhausted. I had the sadness all day yesterday thinking how lucky I was to have T home with me after seeing all those poor babas in the cardiology ward. Was so happy to be home... But so sad as well .

Please god when the summer comes things will get better for you guys.

I don't even know how you're coping

Bubs had to get a blood test earlier to determine what her allergies are. It was more traumatic for me.. we're keeping her off dairy and she's still going mad itching. I'm going mad because I can't help her. Now I've to wait a month for her results.

30 seconds, crikey, that's an eternity when you are trying to wake someone. Your poor heart, the panic and stress must be exhausting.

Woshy

God, you must have got an awful fright you've all really been through the mill. It must be hard to see your baba sick all the time. I hope it improves as the summer comes in

Suucee

Cyning i cant even imagine what your going through. I hope things start to improve. Ye really really deserve a break

cyning

Doc said she doesn't need an EEG or CT: that with everything going on with her at the moment (2 week post vax, recovering from tonsilitis, exposure to chicken pox, a very heavy head cold and very refluxy yesterday), that She may have just fainted. I'm so so relieved. I really didn't want to have to put her through it.

Still worried though!

Baby now has vomiting bug, ear infection and throat infection all at the same time happy easter to us

cyning

And we have chicken pox... Or at least the toddler does so I'm sure S isn't far behind: anyone know how to soothe the itch on her scalp? She's in great form and only about ten spots so hopefully a mild dose

cyning
