I see Simone has taken IK's advice and removed her age! In the interests of those non-plats amongst us, here are two comments posted:
As a mother of a child who has spent a lot of time in hospital Simone, I say, you can't stuff about with these things. I know you're off to the doctor now, but next time, don't delay, you can make things so much worse by not taking her to be seen by a professional in good time.
I know the thought of going to hospital is horrid, that the babies have to endure pains there, and it's a not nice place to be, but in some kids who need special care, we have to do what we have to do. Even though I know that each time I rock up to the hospital with Jessalyn with a fever it could mean a week on a drip locked in the hospital for us, I still do it as soon as it is required (for her condition). I know the pain and the trauma that parents suffer when their kids have spent considerable time in hospital, it is haunting, but we must do what's best for the kids at all times, and sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind with these kids. Sometimes a trip to hospital is the better or two evils. Please keep this in mind next time you are worried about taking her to get seen.
Maybe for a prem baby with a comprimised immune system daycare isn't the best place for her right now? Maybe if she continues to pick up these bugs you might have to consider what's in her health's best interests? Prem babies do tend to pick up bugs more easily, as their immune systems don't get a chance to develop as strongly. Just a thought.
Poor little bubby. I hope she is well soon.Simone, I honestly think they were trying to help (though I think I would get upset too!) but it will be interesting to see if you receive different sorts of responses now your age is removed......I agree with _________, Simone you need to not delay in getting medical attention for your kids...
I know of a family who's teenager son died due to the school ignoring his hacking cough & poor breathing pattern, when he finally walked in from school, grey & bbarely breathing his parents deliberated about a hospital trip, a Dr's or calling an ambulance after 2 or so hours they drove their son to the hospital fr him to die in the car park!
It was pneumonia that went undoiagnosed for a few days & gradually got worse til he couldnt breathe & actually died!
I always hate going to the hospital with sick kids too, sitting around & waiting feels like forever, but whenever I think I dont have time, I make time, I'd rather be late doing something than burying my baby!
I spent years in & out of Hospital with Asthma, Pneumonia, Bronchitis etc, it aint fun but I thank my parents beacuse for them taking me I am alive today!!!!
I know it's a little OTT, but if all of this is going on I think she sounds like she's pretty unwell...
Next time just call an ambulance!![]()
