bad night coughing

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone..

Eilish has had her 2nd night of terrible coughing. I got up at 2am with

her and gave her a hypertonic mask, Then a hot chocolate. We watched

her favourite DVD (Kath & Kim) and now she has fallen asleep, and

hopefully will get a goodnights sleep. I am wide awake though. At one

stage I thought she would vomit mucus but she didn't. I wouldn't be

surprised that another IV round is not far away. When we went in to get

her hypertonic saline the other day, the pharmacist asked if that was

all we needed. So I said oh yeah chuck in some razor blades for me.

She didn't see the funny side. Sometimes you have to otherwise you'll

go nuts. Oh to late already there.

I'll probably go and watch my favourite DVD till the sun comes up. If I

went to bed and only got 2 1/2 hours sleep I'd actually feel much worse.

She had a really sore stomach yesterday which I think was from all the

coughing. Can this happen? She wasn't constipated or anything. I took

them to the park and she seemed fine there. Liam took his go-kart and

they and two friends who came with us dragged it up hills and went down

like maniacs. Liam had all these kids hanging around. In the end I had

to be mean and say sorry guys 1 ride each them off you go. Only because

if it got broken who's paying for it? And as my BF who was this me said

if some kids breaks an arm or leg they might want me to pay the costs.

I clarified with her that that doesn't include her kids LOL.

Sorry about ranting, just bored.

I'm sorry to hear about Eilish. There is nothing more frustrating

than watching your little girl having to suffer and especially when

she has been through so much as of late! However, we as Mom's do

what we have to do to make them comfortable even when it costs us a

nights sleep. Sorry to hear you are up and bored. Being a night owl

myself, if I were there, you could ring me up and I'd bring over

some munchies and watch movies with ya. Hang in there! I sure do

hope she feels better soon!!!

e,

I always feel fine the next day without sleep. My sister who has a 8

week old baby carries on about lack of sleep like no one has ever done

it. I am starting to get hungry myself now so I might make some toast.

Its good to know people are awake somewhere in the world.

Oh .......I know that feeling...my sister complains too with her 8 month

old teething. They don't know the sound of " the COUGH " .........Dylan snores

so LOUD cause one side of his nose is TOTALLY impacted and has polp.....his

chest retracts so much that I get nervous.......when he gets worked up........

I would take a crying baby, barking dog or snoring husband any day - although

I am sure if given one of those I would complain!!!!!LOL
