I know I know I worry you all by not updating but I promise I’m ok – well as ok as I can be updating from a hospital bed bored out of my brain which is probably to be honest the only reason you’re going to get an update as I actually have the time to sit and type up what has happened. That is the problem when you leave it so long it then gets a bigger and bigger task to update and you put it off more – vicious circle!I don’t have any internet access so this will be uploaded when I’m back in the land of internet when I finally get out of here, but for now looks like I’m staying here.
I had a rather nasty asthma attack rushing me in and now am still here on high flow oxygen needing 2 hourly nebs am on IV aminophylinne and hydrocortisone and ended up having an emergency central line put in in resus as had no access as had left it slightly too long to come in and was shutting down! Am on a stupid cardiac monitor as my heart is playing silly games too so I’m pretty tied to the bed which is rather frustrating!!
Oliver has visited a few time enjoys trying to eat the re breathing bag of my oxygen mask and had a good grab at my central line causing a bit of a panic among us and the nurses! Is funny looking back now!
I’m really hoping to be home soon as we’re due to go to Center Parcs on mon 16-20 Feb (Half term) But are travelling up on Sunday 15th so this doesn’t leave me very long to pull myself and my stupid stubborn lungs together!
Oliver is now 8 months (6 corrected) weighing a whopping 18lbs 4oz on the 50 centile plotted back to his due date age. He now holds his head really well loves his food and is putting anything and everything into his mouth! He got his first tooth last week and there is definitely another one on the way. He isn’t really making much effort to sit yet but I’m not too worried as he’s only corrected 6 months so has a way to go yet and after such a rough start he’s bound to be a little behind. He’s such a happy little man always smiling and so so good I am just so lucky!
He has had a rough time with his lungs having 2 rather nasty bouts of bronchilitus needing nebulisers prednisolone steroids and an admission into hospital for some oxygen therapy. He is doing ok now currently on another course of pred but have changed his inhalers around and seems to be doing better is just a happy wheezer! We decided to re home Pippa our much loved baby choc lab as with Oliver’s allergies and chest and how busy we were. Not only was the hair not helping him but it wasn’t fair as she wasn’t getting the attention from us she deserved but we found her the perfect home and she is settling down nicely we will stay in close contact with them which will be nice. It is sad but for the best.
Abigail is doing well now does 3 sessions a week at Nursery Monday 12.15-2.45 (lunch session) and Wed and Fri 9.30-12. She loves it and it’s nice as it gives me a bit of a rest and some time with Oliver. She now does trampolining and Gymnastics which she loves. She continues to spend one day a week with my mum to help me out which she loves and so does my mum as it gives them some quality 121 time. Since her last admission to hospital she’s had her kidney scan which didn’t show any problems and she also was started on Singulair for her asthma as like Oliver has had quite a few prednisolone courses and needing silly amounts of ventolin which in turn makes her hyperactive and is not a good mix! An already very energetic 3 year old doesn’t need to be made anymore hyperactive!! So far the singulair has done its job in the fact that it has helped her asthma but one of the side effects of the drug has come out quite severe in her causing aggression and anger which is so not like her and driving me mad!! We’re going to stick it out a while and see if it calms down as would be good if she could stay on it to control the asthma.
We like probably most of you had a shed load of snow last week which left Ed’s school closed for 2 days so we had a brilliant time with daddy home and nursery closed playing in snow making snowmen etc – Oliver and daddy did stay indoors but Abigail and I braved it with about 5 layers of clothes on – she thought it was brilliant and we made a pretty impressive snowman I must admit! The majority of the snow has gone but her snowman is still standing all be it now minus the face features and looking very sorry for itself!
I hope this brings you all be it rather briefly up to date with where we are now, I’ll now try to stay in touch a little more but like I say this won’t be uploaded until I get home anyway then it won’t be long till we’re off on holiday.
I hope everyone is well and even if I don’t update my blog – I do still read yours!!! J
