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? -------------  |

About a week. he did get better tho it sound's like Krystiana is not yet. Look go with your gut if you think she need's to be seem before tomorrow then go tonight. At least that way you get some peace of mind if nothing else. ------------- Deborah Mum to:

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! Hope you don't have too rough a night tonight.
The first sign of oxygen deprivation is blueness around the mouth and lips, so if she is wheezing and a little blue then that's a sign she might need a bit of oxygen help. But it's often hard to tell with babies - sometimes they sound like they are wheezing and snuffling something chronic when in fact their chest is clear and it's their blocked nose making all the noise. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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. ------------- Becca, mum of 2 girls & 3 boys |

oo thanks Becca I forgot the steam trick. Emma it is her chest, same sound as the doc checked out last week  But her nose is pretty noisy too lol. She's not blue and her tummy bulge isn't heaving... something I remembered to check just a few minutes ago.
Shes crashed out on my chest at the mo (Vicks under the t shirt of course) so am gonna take her to bed with me and hope for a good sleep. ------------- |

Ooh yeah, we did the steam thing when Maya had croup and it worked a treat.
Hoping for a restful night for you Teresa! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

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!! ------------- Mummy of Two Boys B: 2004 K: 2007 |
