#first cold

[pixieposts]

Jackie has a cold. We took him to urgent care last night because all the walk ins are closed. He has a little cough and at the time had a fever of 101.6 (which is why we went, he's never had a fever before). All we can do is give him lots of fluids and use Tylenol on the fever, I feel so bad for my little guy. 😢

I'm currently going through one of the most difficult things...

My child's first cold. My poor baby. It's been a tough week. Praying it gets better soon.

First cold

So naturally as Autumn/fall comes around this mom with a rubbish immune system gets a cold - literally at the first mention of a flu jab. Slightly panicked as have baby under 3 months. I'm also asthmatic. So naturally by day 3 I'm struggling for breath and coughing like a pro! Thankfully I had a routine checkup for my son and the dr - who saw how bad I was struggling - managed to prescribe me something to get me going again. I did think the doctor might tell me to book a separate appointment but she didn't do I was very grateful for that! I was hoping that I could manage to avoid the baby getting it and I tried to avoid him as much as possible - the hubby was good with that and took James out for the afternoon one day and left me to sleep upstairs the next. But of course inevitably the baby and the hubby both got colds. I spent one terrible evening not leaving the baby's side - just in case - whilst my baby boy snuffled his way through the evening. Turns out I didn't need to worry too much - apart from a tiny little cough he was over it by the afternoon of the day after - and that's gone now too! Hated watching him go through that and it's something I am going to have to get used to. Children get colds and scrape their knees and all sorts of other things all the time. Hoping it gets easier - maybe I panicked because he's so young and dinky. Is it too much to hope that he has a fab immune system and is a healthy little boy? I can but hope!

Babies first bug

No posts for a bit as we navigate Emma & Jamison's first time being sick. Thus far it has meant fevers, runny nose, mouth breathing, restless sleep, & sleepy, fussy babes. Not too bad all things considered. No vomiting. No poop issues. And still able to kind of sleep through the night. The other good news is they are still eating ok, which is important to avoid dehydration. Plus we're adding in 2-3 attempts with a bottle of water between milk bottles. We are lucky & worked hard to hold off them getting sick until they're almost 13 months old! This is because we've wanted to avoid having to stay at the hospital. I believe that its important to get sick & get better to build immunity and a strong body, however only when babies are strong enough. Colds & RSV are worse for babies with lung issues. Yet just off the top of my head I know 4 full term babies that got RSV & 2 had to stay in the hospital for at least a night. So all is well here & hopefully both Emma and Jamison are on the mend. Just keeping an eye on their temperature & making sure they make enough wet diapers. And their mom & dad have held it together: emailed the pedi only once & have otherwise been rational parents. So far...
