hi everyone, just a quick one whilst ash is quiet for 30seconds.. he still very very sick, throwing up all night, was up from 130am - 6am walking around with him just trying to stop him vomitting so he could keep the nurofen down. he had a dose at 6.30 and it knocked him out till about 11am (give or take a couple wakings cos of wind)
Hes been on panadol since wednesday night at the emergency room and its been 48 hours since yesterday.. has anyone kept giving panadol for longer than 48hours???
I havent giving him anymore this morning as i dont want to..... does any one recomened asking a doctor or something?? i know its viral, so theres nothing he can do but get his body to fight it off..... but im just worried if he keeps going tonight and im giving him too much medicine... ????????
Lauren I would take him to the Dr.. Does he have fevers? (sorry I must have missed our post on him being sick) If he can't keep anything down then definetl get him to the Dr.. 48 hours is a long time..
poor little man.. I hope he is on the mend soon
Sorry for slack post.. My eyes are hanging out of my head. I did my usual night shift thing and went across the road for a chat.. At midnight I said I better go home I spose.. Well 1:30 I managed it by the time I showered and actually fell asleep it was closer to 3.. OMG why do I do it
As I said to my mum this morning I am seriously enjoying this ME time.. It is so nice to talk to another adult (with no kids around) other then Simon.. And she addicted to ebay to hahaha.. so far we haven't bought anything Although I did buy Livi a new hat off thier last week.. $5 bargain. Cute little fifi and the flower pots (?) one
Susan.. I would just simply buckle him in the high chair and tighten the straps and say NO it is dinner time and even if you dn't want to eat everyone else is.. It is time to sit as a family
Might not no probably won't work but hey thats the only advice I can come up with right now
Omg i just realised, we were in the emergency tuesday night not wednesday.. hmm being friday maybe i should go to the GP. He seems ok atm and has had a couple of chips for lunch (its the only thing i could get him to eat) and its staying down so far....
i might go over to the chemist and ask about the panadol.. im sure tonight wont be so easy, seems to go down hill very quickly at night.....
I know its not important, but my first week of being back at work full time and ive had 3 days off... thankgod my boss has 2 little kids .... !
Buzzie - I had Loren on panadol and nuerofen for 4 days straight around the clock. Doctor told me to because she was having convulsions. If Ash has been throwing up for that many days I would take him to the doctor just incase he is dehydrated too.
Lauren: your job is important too.. You don't want to feel like you are letting anyone down.. glad you have an understanding boss though
If ou are worried about fluids you could try this.. It is what we did to gt them to have some glucose as well as water.. just made up jelly and syringed it into them and told them it was medicine
Keep an eye on his wet nappies.. If the wee is yellow or he isn't peeing much then he is starting to show signs of dehydration
Lauren - We have rung the Maternal Child help line a few times when we have been worried about things but not wanting to rush straight to the doctors, they have always been really helpful and reassuring. You can always ring them for an opinion (they might say take hime to the docs) but it is good to have that instant opinion when you are worried. Big hugs to Ash.
thanks everyone, i went to the chemist and they said give him hydralite to drink so he doesnt get dehydrated, but he doesnt like it. he hasnt had any boobie since waking this morning which is the first, but he has been drinking some water.
Im soo angry i just went to pay ABC and i have to pay for pubilc holidays (half price if you give them 2 weeks notice u are having a holiday too, even tho its a compulsary holiday and they close the centre!!) and half price the days hes sick even with a sick certificate!! WAT A JOKE!!! GRHHHHHHH
Im seriously contemplating putting him in a personal careers home or something.....
Buzzie- I hope Ash is better sooner rather than later poor wee man. And i hear you on the daycare on pub hols it really sucks but as far as i know they are all the same even FDC (well it was when DD1 used to go)
Well as most of you have read on FB i got my appretniceship and start tues PT working 2days and tafe one day. But i cant start tafe til June so working 3 days til then. One of the days is a sat so DH will have the girls but they will have to go to DC tues and Thurs *sob*.

poor little man.. I hope he is on the mend soon
