Hi all,

Sorry have been mia, as had litle bubba V in hospital, have been to the DR's for her today, but now I need to go and see the DR for myself. Will be back soon to update. hugs

Oooh poor little V, sending big get well soon vibes to you both

Thanks Belfie. hugs

Well V was admitted into hospital on Wednesday after being seen in emergency discharged yesterday afternoon. Her breathing seemed like she was struggling. They have treated her with steroids, for three days which includes today, to help open her lungs and has been having ventolin at first every 1-2hrs then 3hrs, and today 4hrly. Tomorrow she should be on 6hrs and the Sunday 8hrs. They believe she has either bronchoilitis again or has now developed asthma. There were some findings on her chest xray, but waiting to speak with her pead on Monday as to what is going on. Looks like she is going to need another chest xray. They admitted V as they wanted to treat her with caution since last yrs hospital stay.
Had her seen by the gp today and she was happy with how her chest sounds so hopefully it stays that way.
Have also picked up the flu, and it didnt help matters when sleeping under an air vent at the hospital. On the bright note, got to hear bubs HB today, so something to cling to until next weeks NT scan. Fingers crossed I get some good results.

I hope everyone is well, and once I feel better and little V isnt taking up as much of my time, I will try hard to pop in some more with personals. hugs all

ohh I should mention, if V needs more frequent puffs on the ventolin, like less then 3hrly, she needs to be back in hospital. So hpefully that wont happen.

Hi ladies, just an update, little V is asleep atm but will need to be quick as there is so much to do around the house. Looks like a bomb shell hit. Well V seemed to be going strong yesterday and even the Dr's were commenting on how hyper she was. Well she is hyped up due to the ventolin and the steroids that she has been on. Well she woke up at midnight crying, gave her her does of ventolin, she was still very unsettled and appeared to be in pain. Straight away I thought of her ears. Anyway gave her some panadol to help her sleep, not that it did much as she stayed awake until after 2.30am would only sleep if I was holding her and sitting up, she ended slept for about an hour, still tossing turning and groaning, ended up taking her out and she slept on me on the recliner again still tossing turning and moaning. We got some sleep on and off until 9am, in which I then had made an appt to see the Dr again. Saw the DR, and yep she has an infected ear, poor little thing. She just doesnt seem to get a break. So she now has drops and antibiotics for her ears and the ventolin for her breathing. Hopefully she starts feeling better soon, and hopefully the Pead can give me some good news on Monday afternoon. She has even started getting a temp today.

Just a quick one from me as not sure how long will get b4 one of the girls wakes.

csab - i hope poor lil V is up and about ASAP, it's so hard when they are sick.. poor little thing..

We have had a sick little girl here too, Ava has an ear and throat infection had a fever for 2 days straight, didn't move off the couch and stopped eating which completely freaked me out, even when she's not well she still runs around and eats.
THEN she got the fever shakes and panadol/nurofen combo wasn't helping much so off to the Dr's (new Dr in new town) we went and he looked at me like i was some paranoid psycho... I KNOW MY DAUGHTER AND SHE'S SICK i had to tell him... f**king idiot!

So she is now on anti's and panadol & nurofen to keep her temp under control, she was a bit better today, still not eating properly and very clingy, would only sleep on me which was quite uncomforable.. BUT she has been sleeping MOST of the night which is good considering how bad she has been during the day.

Hope everyone else is well, stupid weather causing everyone to be sick.

Zarava - I hope poor Ava is feeling better now. It sucks when they are sick! Ava sounds so clever though! Getting DVDs ready to watch and using a potty. M loves sitting on her potty but never does anything in it.

csab - I'm sorry to hear that V has been so sick! How awful for her and you. I hope she's doing better now! M seems to get sick with something new every week now that she's going to CC.

belfie - Your last day at work today. I hope everything settles down for you. Must have been scary nearly fainting at a station. Actually I did faint at a station once and I wasn't pregnant. And people just ignored me... cos they prob thought I was drunk. But it was such an awful experience for me and left me feeling like no one would be there if I needed help in public! How's X doing now?

Georgi - I felt sick for my entire pregnancy. Hopefully yours will go soon though! BJ sounds so clever with his counting and colours and LOL on the swearing. I said s**t recently and straight away M replied with s**t back. Oppps. Thankfully I haven't heard it again.

AFM I have been working heaps on reports and have just had it now. I feel like they will never get done. But thankfully this is my last week of work before the holidays and I really need a break!!

Poor M just seems to catch one bug after another. Always on a Friday too (one of my work days!!). Last Friday I took her to a doctor because she'd been up half the night crying and she said that M has a very red, sore throat. I've been waiting for it to develop further, and she did cough for a bit, but do far that's it. So fingers crossed she's recovered quickly from that one! Before that she had another gastro type bug, but also got over that quickly. And before that she has a very bad ear infection in BOTH ears!! Poor girl. She was on ABs for TWO weeks on some very strong ABs!! Thankfully her ears totally cleared up, which the DR said is a great sign because some kids don't seem to be able to get rid of ear infections.

Moi - You poor things, i hope you get to enjoy some time off while all the little feral kiddies are off on school hols and i hope poor M is feeling better.
A seems to be a bit better now so we are going to MG tomorrow cos i NEED TO GET OUT of this house and get her occupied.

She is getting quite clever the cheeky little thing, am going to put her in CC 1 day a week so that i can get some stuff done around the house and she gets a little more interaction with kids her age. She loves her MG friends but i think it's time she got something else to occupy her, she is so hard to keep occupied she just learns so quickly and seems to get bored.
This morning she stood on a chair next to Z and fed her half her breakfast, then when Z's bowl was nearly empty she said MUM MORE, ZARA MORE... GONE!
She got told off so she held up her arms and said mum, cuddle... cheeky little so and so.
We've also taught her stinky poos.. so this morning she came up and says MUM.. POOS STINKY!

Hope everyone else is well...

Bit of a me post:
Ive been reading all the posts but just havent had a chance to reply cos my browser keeps logging me out so i just give up...

Anyways. last month have been pretty rocky for us. Not sure whether ive ever posted here, but i had my 2 front teeth taken out, just because implants were going to be too costly and yadiyada...In the meantime i have a plate cos have to wait for the gum to heal for a few months before i can get dentures done.
As of the last week of so, both Master Dragon & I been down with the flu and then these last few days he's been hit with tonsilitus (yet again) and Ive got gastro. FUN!! At least mum came to get us so that DP could get some work done and not have to worry about us.

Had my 20week scan late @ almost 22wks :O Cos we were late the hospital couldnt fit us in for the U/S so i had to pay for it yet again. Oh wells....its still a boy so thats a good thing :P

Hope all the pg mummies all good, and that the poor sick bubbas get better soon!

Hi to everyone else, hope you stay healthy for the rest of the winter
