Guest guest Posted June 2, 2001 Report Share Posted June 2, 2001 Hiya all, Well, 3 out of 6 of us have a terrible virus. Nicki was admitted to ER because she couldn't breathe and turned blue. The joys of a narrow airway - any swelling and she's in a bad way. She was given oxygen and a steroid to help dialate her airway and it worked a treat thankfully. We were able to come home after things settled down but I can tell you, I was SCARED. She has had croup before but I have always been able to control it with steam and ventolin but not this time. on got the virus next, now Emma has it and all three are bundled up on the couch demanding drinks and popsicles while watching Cartoon Network. Tony, and me are all looking at each other wondering who is next! Yes it is winter here now and I have a feeling it's going to be a looooong one. I am feeling really guilty because we are off to Australia on Sat 9th and leaving Emma and Nicki with a wonderful person who has been helping me with the girls for 4 years (she's knows the girls better than I do). Georgie is coming to stay and taking time off her incredible job as a web page designer. She adores the girls and they'll have fun. I just think that Emma and Nicki would hate the trip as we will be doing a lot of travelling in a car etc. PLUS - I need to re-energise so I can be a great Mum not a tired grumpy nasty ol' Mum! We will be away for 6 nights and Emma and Nicki will have a wonderful time with Georgie, I just know (actually I'm just hoping). OK this is not making me feel any better, just more guilty as I am desperately trying to justify things! CarolynMum to on 9, 8 on the 15th, Emma 5 (Ds) and Nicki 4 (Ds)www.geocities.com/nz_mom/sykesfamily.html 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
