My first time starting the spam thread... where is everyone? Still sleeping I hope!

Meetings all morning and then I have a phone interview at 2:30!

DS's daycare is closed again today, so my mom is watching him.

We took him to the dr yesterday because he stated to sound wheezy. The dr (not his regular one) said it's possible he could have asthma. My mom this morning said it didn't sound deep enough (she's had it her whole life), but to follow what the dr says because he may be ruling stuff out too. Anyway, he's currently on prednisone and albuteral. Oh and amoxicillin because he has another ear infection.

This morning at 4am he woke up coughing really bad. It was almost like he couldn't catch his breath. I gave him the albuteral and nursed him, and it seemed to be better. Now I'm worried we're not treating the right thing. But I looked up symptoms of other things and they don't seem to follow. Like the cough wasn't barking and he wasn't whooping. I don't know. I just hate having to be at work while he's so sick.

Of course this morning he was acting totally fine. Still coughing, but in a great mood.

Not much happening around here. I'm at work. I don't really want to be.. but it is what it is.

cougarette sorry to hear about your LO, hope you get it figured out and he is feeling better very soon! You're doing all the right things taking care of him and at least he is in good spirits!

I woke up this morning trying to figure out if it was Saturday or Sunday. Yeah....


My dad's fb account was hacked this morning and a duplicate was made. Of course my parents don't really know what to do so I have been dealing with that all morning. Makes me laugh mostly because he is in a panic and some of the stuff he has posted on fb since leads me to believe he only understood half of what I told him. Ha. What are we going to make our kids laugh about one day.

[aggiebug]

cougarette poor kiddo! I hope he feels better quickly.

G pulled up to standing on his pack and play at the gym today.

I'm going to head out and get some lunch soon at the store.

I got nothing today. I'm probably going to start figuring out what to pack for the weekend and what I want to buy.

The flu struck our house late Sunday night/early Monday morning. DH and I have both been sick as dogs. Little Man luckily wasn't showing any symptoms, so we took him into daycare so we could get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. When we we were leaving to pick him up, daycare called and said that it looked like DS had pink eye. The pedi had already closed for the day, so we took him to the ER. Sure enough, he has a mild case of pink eye and has to be on antibiotics for 24 hours before he can go back to school. So today, the three of us are home and DH and i are cleaning and disinfecting EVERYTHING.

Also, I'm looking for a tried and true solution to disinfect Little Man's toys if anyone has any suggestions.

Just now getting a chance to say hello!

I called the insurance of the driver that hit me; yeah, she never reported it or filed a claim. You better believe I filed one for her! Mine is just cosmetic damage but I've only had my car since May so dadgumit she's gonna fix it!

Also, we have fall break next week and we're looking at going to Savannah for a long weekend. Thankfully my husband's travel for work means we get tons of hotel points so we can stay for free. I'm really hoping we get to go because I really need a break and change of scenery!

cougarette that sounds scary! Hope it's resolved quickly.
Currently drafting an email to the daycare director. DS has gone 3+ hours without a diaper change the past few days and they only do one nap a day. This shit is not working. It's kind of uncomfortable because I went to HS with the director and I am super awkward about confrontation.

Eek good luck with your e-mail!

I would not let that go. DS's daycare changes every 2-3 hours as policy, but I've told them that if it was time for a change and he was falling asleep I'd rather him sleep. But he fights sleep so much the diaper can wait another 20 minutes.

What's with the one nap a day for a baby? Do they wake them if they fall asleep or just not put them down. I'm glad DS's daycare follows the babies' cues.

Hope you get things resolved in your favor. Don't be afraid to complain to the state if they blow you off.

Tired. Making myself fajitas for dinner. DH is passed out on the couch. He got so much more sleep than me on this trip and somehow I shouldn't be so grumpy. Taking tomorrow off with DS and hopefully it's filled with naps.

Aw, hope your little man feels better soon, cougarette!

badw0lf Don't feel bad for sending that email. You are doing the right thing for your LO and you should let them know what you aren't pleased with.

[flyster]

Short spam today! Nothing too much my neck of the woods either...just ongoing sleeping issues. We were up from 4 to 5:30 this morning which made concentrating at work very interesting. Luckily none of the senior folks in my department were around.

cougarette, that sucks so much that LO is that sicky I hope you can figure out whats going on and he starts to feel better!

seamonster I'm not sure what the deal is. They have a crazy schedule and one part of the day is blocked off for nap time.
The director claims they try and have him nap but he doesn't. Which I can sort of see because he struggles going down. But there are three pack and plays in a room of like 10 kids (all older than DS). So I'm not sure what's going on. I'm going to speak to her this afternoon.

There aren't enough cribs/pnp for all the babies? How is that supposed to work?!

I guess they assume they don't all sleep at the same time despite the designated nap/rest time?

Or maybe some of the older ones sleep on mats?

Thanks everyone for the good thoughts! Please keep them coming. My mom could not get DS to drink any of his bottles. She did end up giving him some solids, just to get something in his tummy (after calling me first). Now I'm worried he won't drink his bottles tomorrow at daycare.

She suggested calling the dr tomorrow to make sure we're treating this cough the best way. It just sounds like he's trying to cough something up, rather than something going on with his lungs. I agree with that.

Also I need to double check how I'm supposed to be using the albuteral. He said to user it as needed, like cough syrup. But does that mean whenever he gets a bad coughing spell to give him some? Or give it to him in regular intervals until the cough is better (ie, not for x number of doses).

badw0lf I think following up with daycare is totally the right move. What's the teacher/kid ratio?

kaydee0402 sorry for the illness! And it's more likely that the pink eye is viral like your flu (possibly a spin off infection from that) than bacterial but good hygiene will hopefully keep it away from you & your H! The ophthalmologists I worked for compared pink eye to the common cold.

cougarette so sorry N is having such breathing trouble. I'd follow up with the doc again. I've always used albuterol as an emergency inhaler not a maintenance drug for my asthma - it works quickly but not necessarily long term. The prednisone will hopefully help, though may be part of his mood change - as a kid it made me hyper and not hungry, as an adult GIVE ME ALL THE FOOD. Let us know what the pedi says.
