Hi Everyone,

Well we have had a bit of a crazy week here!

Last friday Spence started on Losec for his Silent Reflux, we found out you have to get it from a compounding chemist (which r few and far between) so we had a 2hr round trip in the rain in peak hr traffic (Spence had just had his 8wk needles too!) On Monday Spence had his first day (since he was days old) where he managed to sleep between each feed before that he had many times where he would stay awake for the entire time between feeds!

On Thursday he went into his room and about a min later started crying, I went in an he was sitting on the ground picked him up and the next second his mouth starts pouring out blood. Blood slowed after a while and I had a look and it looked litle it was coming from the skin between your 2front teeth, he started dozing off so I let him go to sleep, it was 50mins off sleep time and he had a crap night before and I was confident he hadn't hit his head. 1hr later he was crying again,tiny bit more blood and then went back to sleep 30mins later crying again so I got hi up and tried to give him some nurofen and saw his tongue, at the front of his mouth on the side of his tongue he had ripped about 1cm into the centre of his tongue, the whole way through his tongue! called 13health and went to redlands emergency 2 drs saw him there and though even though very rare 2 do it might need stitching. Called the Ear, nose and throat pediatrician at the mater who wanted to see him. went there, he had already gone home but saw 2 other drs and a consultant and so just leaving it to heal. Apparently stiching it would actually be an operation and they couldnt even do it at the mater, he would have had to have a GA and his tonguepulled out and something put in to support his airway.

He is doing ok but the poor boy hardly ate any cereal for breakfast then had 3 arrowroot biscuits and a tiny bit of water at 10.30 and wasn;t allowed to eat and drink until 7.30!! In the waiting room he was at the vending machines just begging for some water or something to eat! and he has a cold and we have sore throats and he probably does too so that would have made it worse So now he is on pureed food for a few days, he had a sundae for dinner last night lol dr said icecream! we're just keeping an eye on it. Worse part of being a parent, I have a son who is healthy enough to have never had AB's but 3times has been profusely bleeding from the mouth!!

Also on Thurs my mum found out she has very early stage of cancer in her uterus (apparently the dr said its not a bad diagnosis but not good) apparently they r cells than turn into camcer so she has to have a operation in the next three months to have a look and possible a hysterectomy and possibly remove more.

Then last night Phil and Noah had a bad gastro bug!!!!!
