appologies i couldnt get on here yesterday was out all day. we went and looked at a house yesterday (cannot get serious about it though until our house sells) then dropped into SIL breifly to see bub again then had to follow DH to his work so he could drop his car off and then take him to the airport. He flew to LA yesterday, spends 4 days there and then 4 days in Miami for a work confrence. His sister works for Qantas 9although on maternity leave) and got him upgraded to business class so he was pretty happy bout that! anyway getting Nixon in and out of the car in pouring rain, howling wind was a lovely task!
Then went to my sisters for a bit, left Nix there and his uncle (my BIL) minded him and his 2 girls while i went and did a tupperware party!
by the time we got home it was 7.30pm and straight to bed for Nix.
Pretty certain Nixon haS "hand and foot in mouth" atm.
i had my suspicion it was that but rang nurses on call tonight and he has most of the symptoms
fever
pink spots over hands/ feet/ genitals/ legs but not on torso
some spots are more like blisters but not pusey
slight cough
turned off his food somewhat
he does not yet have any ulcers in his mouth but may still get them.
apparently its contagious and we think my 2 neices also have it (the elder one may have had it first and gave it to Nixon and Alyssa) they are contagious for 3-6days and not much u can give them other then panadol for the temp and bonjela for a sore mouth.
He seems pretty well in himself though most of the time. and once they get it they cannot get it again. Apparently 95% of us have had it at one time during out lives, we may have had it so midley and not even known it. I think the name of it sounds a lot worse then what it actually is.
Today i left the house just after lunch and been at my parents all arvo, staying the night, will go back to MIL tomorrow arvo and prob stay at mums again tues night as she minds Nix wed's. Figure the more i can get out of the house the better.
OK dog situation: that is a good idea IK about videoing but i dont know how i'd approach it as MIL would always be right there, cause her dogs are wherever she is so to get footage of Nixon with the dogs she will be 2 feet away.
Thismorning she gives both dogs a dog treat INFRONT OF NIXON to eat on the lounge room floow on the mat. Ofcourse Nixon wants it and i was in the other room i hear her saying "no thats the puppys biscuts" in a very blazae manner. So i went and got him and removed him from the situation.
Your right Ik i am a dog lover so its not like a have a vendetter (sp) out against these dogs but common..... if everyone else i have spokend to thinks its an issue whats wrong with her?
Jess- so happy for you guys getting a house! LOL at your seasonal mum comment. Anyway it must feel great being in a house again after so long in the van and at your aunties.
ETA: Bronwyn i just added everyones State to the list for you, hope i got them right!
