Bit worried now...

Krystiana has conjunctivitis (weepy teary eyes that aren't draining), her chest is wheezy (when I lay my ear on her tummy), she has a blocked nose, and her eyes are kind of sunken. I'm not sure how to explain it but it's like her lower eye skin's "chubbiness" is covering up her lower eyelashes.

I'm going to take her back to the Doc tomorrow afternoon cause he said the bronchilitis she had last week was due to peak around day 3-4, which was last Wednesday/Thursday. But she's worse now. Her temp is 35.5 deg, my other girls also get low temps when their immune system is fighting something (instead of a high temp).

Ringing in my ears is a comment the Doc made at the last visit that sometimes if these things get worse they admit the babies to hospital for oxygen... she's breathing alright for now but, I dunno. I guess I'm worried that it may get worse tonight. What do you reckon? Anyone had this before with their baby?

Deb how long did they give him to improve?

Ok gut tells me... she's unsettled tonight but not anything the hospital can do that I'm not already. I did the Vicks under her cot thing this afternoon and am going to set that up again for tonight. As well as give her a head-breastmilk bath (eyes and nose and wherever else it ends up! lol) And hopefully she and I get some good sleep tonight.

Hugs Teresa! Maybe try taking her into the bathroom for ten minutes or so, with the shower running hot to full the room with steam... if the gunk is all in her nose and throat it might help clear it a bit.

Ooh yeah, we did the steam thing when Maya had croup and it worked a treat.

Hoping for a restful night for you Teresa!

Well her eyes are looking better today (not completely but definitely improved) and her nose isn't so stuffy. She slept 6 1/2 hours from 1am (that was after sleeping from 9pm to 1am) so we're both a lot better at the moment. She seems to be worst in the evenings, anyone know why that would be? I think I might just call the Doctor today, she's much the same as our last visit now, and see what he thinks I should do.

I have always found when I am chesty evenings are worse, think it is the drop in temp, and also for me I am tired and become lazy in my breathing when I am tired.

Glad she is looking better, but go with your gut and get her checked out if you are worried!

AWW poor Krystiana, hope she is better soon.
See the Doc again if you feel its necessary.
I find it hard to sleep when i get the flu, i have to have lots of pillows, as i find it easier to breath sitting up slightly.
Big Hugs for both of you!!
