So last night things got worse, and Alize was admitted to hosp for oxygen therapy as his oxygen satuation levels were too low, and because he started vomiting and having diarrhoea, he was getting dehydrated. They were wanting to put a nasal gastric tube up his nose to feed him thru, but I said I'd rather feed him as much as I can and see how he goes before putting him thru that. Once he had some oxygen he stopped having diarrhoea, vomiting and kept his feeds down. They said he was only getting the d & v because of the stress of trying to breathe. He slept from 1am onwards but the nurse kept coming in every 2hrs for me to get him up and feed him. It was just like a dream feed, he actually never woke up. This morning her perked up and his oxygen sats were good so I was allow to come home under homecare but have to go straight back if he becomes worse again and we have to go back in tomorrow for an assessment and if all is going well we will be discharged on Sunday. I have never been in hosp with a sick baby since Lesieli was little and it is sooo scary!!!! Im glad to be home. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Hi Kels. Jake also had the oxygen over New Year when he had a "virus" (doctor's code for "no idea") and it took a lot out of him, BUT he was MUCH better within a week. Hopefully Alize will be the same. I hate the hospitals though! |

Hugs Keli, what an awful night! I hope wee Alize continues to improve over the next day or so. That's about the only good thing with a sick baby - they bounce back quickly. Much faster than a sick man   -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Thanks guys!!! He has been mainly sleeping since we got home. Ive made him a bed up in the lounge, I'd rather have him close to me. He's still breathing rather loud (sounding like Darth Vadar), alot better than last night tho. Emma lol, I'd say. You should see these rough as guts, big burly guys or stanched teenage boys come into the surgery when I was working to get a blood test, you would think I was about to hack their arm off ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Alize is slowing getting better. He slept all night which is a sign that he must be getting better. We were up earlier and he is still quiet wheezy but I guess now he sounds worse than he is. He is bfeeding much better now and not a hint of blue around his lips. We are off the hosp again today as the paediatrician wants to assess him again and if all is well we will be discharged from their care. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Well had assessment yesterday and they want to chk him once more tomorrow as he is still wheezy and is still coughing a lot. They dont know Im a nurse (cos once medical ppl know they treat me diff) so keep going thru what happening to cause wheeziness and teaching me all about broncitis, asthma and the meds and lack of effectiveness in infants etc etc. They are also a bit concerned as he has lost weigh. He's lost just over 1/2lb since Thursday. I think its a combination of not having solids and just being sick. If they knew I was a nurse I can guarantee I wouldnt be getting this GREAT service!!! Alize tho is def back to his usually self, demanding the girls attention, noisy, playing with his toys and eating anything he can get his mits on ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Got to agree with you there Kels, I never let on that I am a nurse, cause they just presume you know everything and can cope, so I let them tell me all the details. Glad to hear he is feeling like his old self, must be a releif for you all ------------- http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

Its not fair to be treated like that, esp since you dont even work with babes Claire. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
