Babies Born March 1st-15th 2008 #6

Shell - I wouldn't worry too much about DJ getting asthma.
First of all, its hard to diagnose under 2 coz their airways are so small any way. So can develop wheezing easier than older kids & adults.
2nd, docs some times prescribe ventolin of some sort simply to help the air ways open. If it was to do with asthma you'd probably be told to look into a nebuliser & have a preventative puffer as well.
I was there with Jaz at 18 months. It took 6 months for them to agree it was asthma.

Good luck on those sleeping babies tonight girls!

My friend that is in England for the next month sent her DP over yesterday with some homeopathic pillues for Molly Jane to help with her teething... what an awesome friend!!! she had a dose when she work for the 3rd time last night and has slept ever since. Hopefully it works Trying to avoid Panadol totaly as there is a like between early use and Asthma

Prama - I dont HAVE to stay away, but as it is an intensive 4 day course 9am-5pm we decided that with the travel time etc and having to study in the evening AND DH on this massive job, so not able to help with MJ , that it would be better for me to stay away for the first 2 nights so that i can focus on the course and get some quality sleep.
Its going to kill me, but i know that it is the better option for all of us... MJ will get all the love and attention that she needs and that one on one time and i will get some sleep and be able to study without feeling guilty about neglecting her (although i still will )

Still its only 4 days, and i am coming home Sat night, so will see her then, and then it will be all over on sunday arvo.

Shell - hope DJ is OK, i do agree with Skye however, its more likely that he was presrcibed ventolin to help with his airways than anything else. Try not to worry (easier said than done thou)

A day of cleaning and organising for me today me thinks
have a good one everyone

Jazz still has a cough from when she had bronchilitis a few months ago. She hasn't gotten over it really. Perhaps I should take her to the doctor again. She is still very rattly when she breathes. Surely by now she can have something. Doc wouldn't give anything last time because she was too young. I think she was 4 months then.

We haven't turned Caitlin around yet, but she isn't 8 kg's anyway. Also we are going to the USA for Christmas and the road rules over there are they have to be rear facing until they are 12 months so we don't want to turn her around here and then have her crack it over there when she is rear facing again. I just hope that she continues to fit properly in her seat facing backwards until we get home.

SJ - Have fun at your course. Hopefully you wont miss MJ too much and if you are you could always go for a drive one night to see her!

Prama - Hope you are feeling a bit better. Why don't you do a website for Lakshman? I did one for Caitlin and it has a blog so I have to keep updating it for her and it certainly keeps me busy! If you want to check it out the address is - Caitlin Grace Evans

Danni - They can't give anything for Bronchiolotis as it is a virus. Caitlin still has a rattle and an occasional cough from when she had it also. This is a link to the info sheet that the hospital gave me - Kids health info for parents

Afternoon girls,

I called daycare and DJ is doing fine and isn't wheezy anymore and has been really happy. Still having long sleeps because the ventilator makes him tired, but that is good he needs good rest. So, yeah I think I was just sinking into motherhood worrying.... I am still sleeping him with me at night, gives me company while Doni is away anyway. My mum is coming over tonight for a few hours to give him some cuddles. It will be a nice break for me. Luckily I have tomorrow off from work so I can just rest.

Will do personals tonight, leaving work now.

sj - it will be hard being away from mj, but you'll be busy and teh hours will go by quick. and you could ring her at night, and sing to her good night. it will really nice to get some quality sleep. I cant remember the last time i did!! Just think of the big smile and cuddles and kisses that will await you from MJ!!

jo - wow, i had a look at your website, and caitlin is doing so great!!
i have a journal i started for poopy the day i found out i was pg. i havent updated it in a few weeks, i will do that tonight!!

shell - glad dj is sleeping better. hope he sleeps well tonight. poopy woke up again at 4ish but i was already awake waiting for him to be awake.. lol.
hope you have an easy day tomorrow, and get to rest a bit.... and nice that mum's coming to help, it does make a big difference.

Thanks for the link. I have heard from some that they can't give anything for bronchiolotis but then others say they can. I'm confused.

Matt's gonna take her to the doctor on Friday anyway just for some more advice.

I'm so looking forward to tonight. I'm going out for dinner with old school friends, most of whom I haven't seen for about 8 years.

Well although i dont want to be apart for MJ much, i am really looking forward to a full nighst sleep, she has been waking 2hrly for the past few nights, she fall straight back to sleep if we pick her up, so im not up for ages, but its the waking and not having a long stretch of sleep that takes its toll... Im going to take ear plugs as i cant wear them at home and hopefully sleep straight through.

i need to be up at 6.30am in the morning, and i will have to express over night so i think i will be fairly tired tomorrow... just need to finish getting my stuff organised and then i will be set.
Cant wait for Saturday night when i get to cuddle my baby again, tomorrow morning will be hard saying goodbye

Hope everyone else is doing well
xoxo

sj - take care hun... hope you get to 'speak' to mj over the phone. and enjoy the sleep!! that's a bonus!
