~ ♥Robyn's rough week ♥ ~

♥

this last week we finally get Alex good enough to go back to school, where now there are 7 counts of Chicken pox :-/  on Monday Robyn had a cold so I stayed home with her by Wednesday she was feverish and I kept her home from Pre-school. she was ok most of the day so thought it would be a viral infection that would not need anything, Wednesday night she had a few severe coughing fits where she was gasping for breath so she went to the Dr on Thursday and I fearing the worst (whooping cough) get told she has Croup which can be worse as she could stop breathing plus Bronchitis so she gets put on a course of anti-biotic's as well as steroids for 3 days to clear it up. I was also advised any worse attacks to call 000 ASAP as it is life threatening :o  the Dr did a swab for whooping cough as well to rule it out but they where quiet positive it was not that as both girls are fully immunized, I had to take Robyn back today for the swab results and  so she could be checked to see if she was getting better, she is better but its a slow process so now on new anti-biotic's and an antihistamine, more money spent but all I want is her healthy, so small steps forward

On one good Note Alex still has her cough but she is well, I now have a cold to as the girls love sharing hehe but I to will soldier on :)

the small things that make my day are seeing my girls play happily and always looking out for each other, I am a blessed Mother to have them and am thankful for every day we get, as I see so many on this road that have it harder than we did and a couple that got it easier, that being said we are all cancer mums and we all feel the same fears what ever was done, we never know what tomorrow holds but all pray that these special children stay strong and grow up healthy and happy as possible.

hug your loved ones close and enjoy what you have

colds and flu's

Alex had her cough last week so bad she missed 4 days from school I was up all night with her as she was gagging but the Dr's still said nothing was wrong other than an annoying cough. over the weekend the girls received their new bikes too and spent some nice play time outside in the warm winter sunshine Alex was well enough to go to school today and her UTI has cleared up :) so that is a good note, Robyn now has the cough and not well at all.

found out we have Swine Flu, Chicken pox and whooping cough going around at the moment in this area, think and pray we will be ok as Alex has Camp Quality day coming up soon for a Dora the explorer show and I want her healthy so we do not put anyone else at risk.

here are a couple of photos of the weekend with the bikes

Christmas in July 2011

Yesterday and today Alex stayed home from school due to tummy issues as she is holding on to long to go toilet (Sorry TMI) she needs to go straight away not wait as when she waits she forgets then gets sick and in pain, so I thought a rest at home to help her relax and keep the tummy issues under control. we went to the Dr and it is another UTI so anti-biotics to help her fight it off, I do everything to prevent this but even the Dr said she will be slightly higher risk due to one kidney plus winter is harder to get her to drink enough water  even though I am always asking and last night she drank a litre in an hour as well as soft drink :o

we also had the Christmas in July to go to, this is through Hubbies work and was a fun afternoon/evening out, we had a nice dinner and also girls got to pet animals in petting zoo and hsat on a camel she was to tired to get up for most of the day
