hi,
had blake down docs today as he been coughing and bringing up phelgm for 2 days - no other sign of being ill. the nurse assessed him and then went and got the doc (she training to be nurse practicianor). the doc agreed with her that he has an upper respitory infection but they cant give him anti-biotics as he under 6months! (the word bo****ks comes to mind!). told me to go back if he gets worse.
since getting home he has been majorily sick twice - to the extent that i have had to change him, clean floor and changing mat! not good. yes most was phelgmy (better out than in) but mixed with milk was horrid!!!
PLUS - middle son had a chest infection last week that set his asthma off so had go see asthma nurse today. she has altered his inhalers - now on purple (same as i am on!) plus his blue 1 plus steorids at night. He then got a UTI on tues this week and they gave him anti-biotics, for the doctor to have written a prescription out for today as those he was given tues are NOT suitable for asthmatics! explains why he has been complaining about his chest!
the school have gone mad and threatened me with educational welfare as his attendance has dropped below 70%. he had 3 weeks off when he had a lump removed from his neck, he has had sickness and diareaha (sp) of which the school wont allow them back until been clear 24hrs. and he has had chest infections and asthma attacks, of which the school have sent him home for as they cant keep an eye on him if his asthma gets worse!!! i really want to scream! BUT on a good note the docs have said if the school kick off too much get them to contact the doc who will issue a med cert at the schools expense. LOL!
Its a total nightmare here i tell you! (good job eldest is ok!)
