Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 OMG, can anyone say TIRED? Well got to have the weekend off of her band. We started in Friday night with a temp all of the sudden of about 103, that rose to 104.5 that night. After battling it all night, and hardly no sleep, because she won't let you put her down, her temp was down to 100/101. Only to rise again Saturday night with a bark of a cough. Talk about tired. For those of you with two or more babies, my hats off too you. Not in my wildest imagination could I handle two sick babies. One about did me and her daddy in. She got her band on for about 8 hours Saturday and about the same on Sunday. It's on now, but she now has a cold/red inner ears from this virus, and it's now bacterial, so we've started her on Augmentin. We did get to sleep a bit last night, but I was grouchy as heck everytime she squeeked. Was up again at 3am for medicine and a bottle, put her down in the crib after that, first time all weekend, and fell asleep only to drag my butt awake to go to work. Grandma is with her today, and possibly tomorrow, we'll see how she feels. Bands back on, and I felt guilty for taking it off for so long. I hope we didn't have any growth during the weekend.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Kelli, Yikes!! What an ordeal. Glad to hear that things seem to be smoothing out. Don't worry about having the band off. If her body was busy fighting an infection I doubt it would be growing too much! This motherhood thing is HARD work. It's like having two full-time jobs!!

I feel for ya with the no sleep we have had no sleep until lastnight with brian since THURSDAY!

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Hi Kelli So sorry to hear that poor has croup - it really is an awful illness - just a little idea for you incase she gets bad again (you probably know this anyway) put her in a steamy bathroom or a very humid area - it helps open the airway and makes it easier for them to breath - as cruop actually constricts the windpipe which is why the cough sounds like a barking dog - if she gets what they call " stridor " which is where she finds it hard to draw in a breath try to keep her as calm as possible as the more scared she gets the worse she becomes - I hope she gets better soon - Croup is truly awful - used to get it very bad when he was really little Hugs to and to her tired mom regards nna Skye's mummy - Brisbane Australia >From: Kelli D <kelmi_4@...> >Reply-Plagiocephaly >Plagiocephaly >Subject: Croup >Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2001 07:32:19 -0800 (PST) > >OMG, can anyone say TIRED?

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 Kelli, I'm so sorry to hear that was sick, sounds like you had a rough few days there! I hope by now she is feeling better and you are a bit more rested. When you get a chance, let us know how your little cutie is doing.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2001 Report Share Posted November 1, 2001 She's doing great! Because of a little redness in her ears when we went in for the croup (something they DON'T give antibotics for), they did give us some Augmentin. So the little cough that lingered after the croup virus stopped is now being taken care of. She's still a little off, but sleeping through the night again.... YIPEEEEE.
