Hi Girls,

While I have read over the last 3 pages I have not a chance at the moment of catching up with it all.

Thankyou all for you well wishes. Tehya was discharged today from hosp. and we have to see the Paed again on Friday if I can get through to make the damn appt) I think she still wouldn't be in if I hadn't kept on persisting and pushing for follow ups. My GP actually referred her for a chest xray on Friday morning and the Dr at the radiologist centre told me that she had pneumonia and that I should take her straight back to the Dr's. By the time I had gotten there the radiologist had faxed through the report and he was waiting for me. One look at the xray and we were sent straight back to the hosp.

We got through triage pretty quickly but stayed down in the E.R until 7 that night (we'd gotten there at 12.30pm) The hardest thing was watching them try to put in the damn canula. After 2 attempts the first Dr gave up. He had tried both hands and one of them is still really bruised now. The next Dr searched her for what looked like a "good, juicy vein" she tried her right arm but that was no good too. Last attemp was her left foot, they wrapped her foot in a warm blanket to help it to swell. Thankfully this one worked because the next place was her head. She stayed on iv antibiotics until we were ready to leave today, but there aren't any for her to take now.

It's very noisy there and I think I averaged anout 3hours of broken sleep each night so that has played havock with my health and now I have a nasty case of tonsilitis. Think I need to take me to the Drs now

I took so pics of Tehya in the hosp and when I get the chance I will post some on her site. Of course she stayed happy and smiley throughout most of it. Part of the reason they sent us home on Tuesday night. baby was too happy. wtf!!!

One plus about being in hosp. though. Tehya has learnt how to self settle. I was just putting her down in her cot in there and she would fall asleep by herself. Have to wonder if it is just because she's sick though. Will keep trying it at home and see.

N E Ways, good to hear that all mums and bubs are doing well and I promise to do a proper catch up tomorrow. One tha's not all about us

Off to try and have a nap while she's asleep.
Take care
Trish
