Hi Everyone *big hugs* what a week its been...

Last saturday my DP who has epilepsy had a seizure and I have been a nervous wreck all week. It was the first one I’d ever seen him take, he is 30, and it scared me big time to see him have to go through that. (The last one was on the morning Lucas was born, I was 8hrs post c-s on the ward, bub was in NICU and DP was in A & C, but that’s a whole other story!)

So I’m feeling overwhelmed ATM! His seizures are bought on by lack of sleep, not so great with a new baby in the house. I’m a SAHM so I happily do the overnight feeds weekdays but weekends are now out but I’m scared thinking about later too when I need to go away for uni, let alone when we have our next baby… We were co-sleeping which is now also out of the question too.

Mummy Mel ~ what you describe with Jack also sounds like Lucas, the pains wake him up or keep him awake when he is tired and he had 2 big vomits on Monday. I was a bit worried about him after that as he also felt warm and had not used his bowels for 24 hours. DP has stayed home from work the last two days so we could all rest and just be together after a trying week.

We have been really lucky in that DS has been a good eater and sleeper but lately he seems to be in increasing discomfort after feeding with wind, and passing lots of gas too the last couple of days. The same as what is happening with some of the other bubs here. I'm taking him to the doctor today to see what we can do for him.
