Oh G. :( That sux.
I thought coldsores were a HSV virus?
i don't know. i'm going to go and have a cry now, i can't handle it all anymore. i'm so upset.
Not necessarily. DD1 only gets them very occasionally, mostly fairly mild. I give her lysine and vit c and ice the spot when she thinks one is coming on and often they stop before they erupt. Definitely get cracking with some fortified liquid diet things, he prolly won't want to eat for a bit. :hug:
ETA - after this they will only be ordinary garden-variety cold sores, and like Trill points out only when he is run down. I was upset when DD1 first got them too, but it's pretty common.
hugs G. no advice (others have way more experience than me...) but you sound so upset. xxx
Gingivostomatitis can be caused by the herpes virus but can also be caused by other virus'. Just because he has this symptom doesn't mean he definitely has HSV. :hug:
yeah i just read up on it too, sounds pretty common babe so dont feel bad/too worried about it. i am sure he is miserable but he will be ok.
i reckon fortified milkshakes are the go. and lots of hand washing to try to protect J. xxx
i'm so worried and i can't stop crying. i think it's all just hitting me today.
oh honey....
whay dont you leave them with DH tonight and have a bit of a break...
staying home with sick kids sucks - we all know you really have nothing to be too worried about, but i know how awful it can be dealing with it all the time.
really - get a bit of time for a break lovely (i would demand you meet me for coffee on fri but i am going away - but lets do that soon)
It's so hard not having any support when your kids are sick. :hug: I find my friend vino helps. xxx
yeah vino can be one of the best helpers. able to be called upon with a moments notice too which is useful.
I'll second this, when dd1 was tested the only virus identified was chicken pox which she'd had a known exposure to. The cold sores might've been a coincidence.:
I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed by it all. It's no fun having sick kidlets, and it's been a pretty major run of it thus week. But repeat after me: this will pass. He will be ok. :hug:
:hug: G, this has been a really full on week for you babe xx it's totally ok to have a cry...and i second (or is it third by now lol?!) the vino...
Big hugs Ginger, what a week you've had. Hope you and DH were able to sit down and have some cuddles and wine after the littlies went off to sleep tonight.
Hour long bedtime dramas here tonight. Usually it's me hiding out, but DH couldn't cope tonight. Probably not helped by the 4am bedtime last night with work issues.
oh Cally - your Dh was going to bed at exactly the time I was up with Mr J....
YUK!
Final round job int today... i am fairly sure i have an offer coming... they have told me they are rescoping the role around what i do best (strategy/chg management/stakeholder engagement etc) and moving some of the stuff i was less keen on to another person (and the guy who will be my boss if i take the role). i am off to meet the head honcho today.... i also have another company i am talking to now, it is kinda annoying as the timing of the diff processes wont align (but i think i know what i woujdl take even if they were aligned timing wise). its v exciting - i am v ready for a chg. that said a little freaked out by the lifestyle issues - being based in the city (which i LOVE but makes liufe harder - my office in 10 mins from home and around the corner from N school now), full time etc... and less personal credibility so less 'lee way' at the start. but i need the challange. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm. a little freaked about resigning when it comes time too... and hoping for a week or 2 off in the middle... anyway enough about my work - prob none of that makes any sense - i am brain storming/dumping! LOL!
G - how you doing? been thinking of you honey.
Ange - yay 4 months will be awesome. will Dh come for some of it? we will have to have a few catch ups.
Arte - how you going?
Girls - J has started to get up at 4 or 5am everey day. i think he is sometimes hungry - have tried loading him with as much food as poss in the evening (including a banana in the BATH!) which i think has helped with the nigbht wake ups but then at 4ish he seems ot have a tummy ache (the last 2 days). gets up and guzzles down a milk (or up and go - which i think may be constipating him??) and any food i will offer. he wont sleep on me and wont come into our bed. ideas??????????
Hi girls...just me in here! Been told they will check some referees and iwill then have an offer....
That's awesome news MP. Congrats. :) A new challenge is always good. DH will be home for a couple of weeks, but can't really take a lot of time off.
Cally- Bedtime dramas are the pits, everyone is tired from a big day and generally has little patience left. It just about tips me over the edge if we have night time meltdown. Fortunately they are pretty good most of the time.
We've just put the girls in together and things have improved dramatically i must say. Lu will now go to sleep without one of us lying with her and sleeps all night in there. Yipee!
MP, Congrats! Hope the new job is the challenge you are looking for. If you are going to take the job? I can't offer any advice about the early rising - A did it to me this morning too. I just got in her bed and tried to get some sleep while she babbled and pulled my hair and fidgeted around.
Ginger, how is L today? Thinking of you both xx
JM, yay for L going to sleep by herself and staying in there! That is my dream...
Cally, I am soooo over the night time meltdowns. Very short fuse these days!
MD, I have no idea how you are surviving so long with your IL's!! I guess if you can put them to use while your DH is away then it wouldn't be too bad.
Trill, glad the netball wasn't as bad this week. How is your uni going?
Trying to stay up for another hour for the Sci-fi quiz but it is hard since A wouldn't let me go back to sleep after 4am. Then she spent all morning while we were getting ready for kindy following me around crying! *** kid, if you would friggin' stay asleep you wouldn't be a tired mess!! Sympathy zero!
I think my baby is kicking. Or I am going to fart soon.
:rofl::
