I'm not equipped to do baby hiemlich she will have to stay on milk, I was all ready to call an ambulance thankfully OH has far more sense than me

How is little Henry today is his skin improving

 

[lilesMom]

Glad she was ok after xxx
They forget these things fast
Hopefully reflux be gone for them by food time
Simes just lasted cos of cerebral palsy.
Fingers crossed no issues normal baby reflux

Second that
Hope henry is getting better xxx

Lynanne how ye doin xxx

On antibiotic here for my hole
C section one
I've named it the "hole"
Coz its a pain
Was hoping to avoid them for Emily sake
Doh
It was the maternity hosp my Dr sent me to
But because I'm more than 6 weeks pp
They r passing me over to regular hosp
So could take ages to be seen
My Dr said its a seroma inside
Fluid collecting
It puts pressure on keeping it open.
What a dose this section recovery has been
Hope I'm done with it soon
But everything I read say it could be months yet

Hope Edith is ok? Aurora and Henry have both done that. Henry threw up when he was on his mat on his back and started choking. Had to put him over my knee and pat really firmly and then he was sick again and started screaming. Was terrifying! I'm first aid trained but I tend to panic when things like that happen.

Sorry your having such a tough time healing lilesmom. Must be horrible. Can't make you feel good having the wound open like that.

Henry is doing ok. His chest seems better. And his skin is imoroving. Got some time at home today with aurora and zack while dan stayed with him. Was only an hour and a half as was missing the other two so much. Was the first time I'd left him and didn't cope that well with it. Be glad to get home now. Hopefully on Monday.

Hugs xxx
Glad he is improving xx
Tough to be split up but ye all be back together soon xx
Hugs xxx

There is only a small bit still open.
Its the sore still pregnant looking swollen tummy bothering me now
Hoping antibiotic takes it down
Putting me off more kids to be honest a at this stage.
Once it happens after surgery once there is higher chance if repeat

Hope your all home together soon hon xxx

Hope everyone has nice weekend.

Is it common to get infections after a section? It's scared me about having one. I didn't know recovery was that tough or lasted that long.

 

[Lucasmum]

Edith is fine so am I I'm also first aid trained but it goes out the window

Glad Henry is getting better

I think I would be put off as well with the healing process not going as it should

 

[maryanne1987]

I'm like a rabbit in headlights when one of the children gets hurt. I just can't think rationally. When aurora knocked her front tooth out I cried more than she did.

Does anyone use breathing monitors? With Henry being so ill all the time I'm thinking of getting one but not sure if they are worth the money?

Its not normal to last this long hon
I've had seroma and infection
Which can happen but isn't the norm
Normal recovery is 1-2 difficult weeks.
Then pretty good by 4 weeks.
Normal ish by 6 weeks.
Allowed ab exercises and full activity at 3 months.
So don't go by my experience.
I'm not typical here.
Xxx
Baby making never goes 100% smoothly for me
I'm glad its me not Emily got the brunt of it this time

Had one with Simon
And hve one for em
They r great when small and big
But there is a middle patch where bub is moving around the cot but small enough to move off the monitor
So it can be set off by bub wriggling away.
But overall id totally recommend them
U can get them cheap enough now xx

I'll forget about it fast enough once im healed

First aid trained here too
I'm good in crisis.
Go into get stuff done mode.
I'm shit after.
I go to pieces and realise what happened
Shaky and weepy
Better off after I suppose
But I look weird
Once crisis is passed breaking down

 

[maryanne1987]

I think I will get one then. I'm getting so paranoid with him always being ill. I know it would help me relax.

I cry during and after the kids getting hurt is something I just can't deal with. Wish I was better at coping with it.

Everything is putting me off having more today. Actually considering delaying ttc. Yet a few days ago I was baby crazy lol,

 

[lilesMom]

I got it cos Simons epilepsy made me paranoid
Def helped me relax a little.
Xxx

I'm the same
Two days ago I was soooo broody
Now I still want a kid but not the pregnancy.
The thoughts of another preg and birth r really turning me off
Weird its at the same time for us
But its prob henry being sick putting u off
And mt trouble healing here.
I'm sure we be back to broody soon enough xxx

 

[Lucasmum]

Edith is so over tired today, everyone she has gone to nap Lucas has been so loud he's woken her up after 10 mins this has happened all day

So in conclusion 10 year old available for free, knows everything about everything, you know nothing, although he does make amazing bread and cakes and isn't to shabby at cooking so you could use and abuse him, any takers

 

[lilesMom]

Nearly 4 yr old with uncontrollable epilepsy going free
Does the same to poor em.
They hve been taking turns keeping me awake since 4

He is a bit snotty
And quite cranky
But great for cuddles and kisses

 

[Lucasmum]

My little bug is 3 months today

She had a god awful nights sleep probably because of being so over tired, slept most of today bless her, took her out for a bit so she could get some peace

Back to school tomorrow

 

[Lucasmum]

Is Henry home yet? How is he doing

 

[lilesMom]

Mid term here they r off for a whole week
God help me
Simes on terrible form due to being snotty
And new epilepsy med.
New med is increasing his fits.
But apparently our best option is to ride it out
Or temp add a fourth med and make him sleepy prob
Looks like Mr cranky here to stay for a bit

Aw 3 minths.
Hurray xxx
12 weeks here.
3 Calender months on 28 th

 

[lilesMom]

Is Henry home yet? How is he doing

Seconded hope he is home xxx

Lynanne how ye doing zxx

My tummy is swollen and sore
Really hoping its the antibiotic doing its work
And not anything else.

 

[Lucasmum]

8 days he was off school for 8 days, no wonder I have a ton of grey hair stupid teacher training day today! Not looking forward to setting the alarm in the morning though I am looking forward to getting him back in routine, I don't normally change it up much as it just makes him "break" but I really didn't have any get up go this half term

I have a diabetic review tomorrow not looking forward to that at all I've took my blood sugar levels the grand total of once in the last 3 months

 

[lilesMom]

If I keep Simon " entertained" aka leave the house repeatedly in the day
He cheers up.
But I genuinely don't hve the energy or the arms to take the two of them anywhere more than once a day at the mo.plus the weather is yuck
Emily had a boobie boobie boobie day today too
Still at it.
My boobs r raw from all her fidgeting!!
