Aren't they just the pits...
Top two came through with a bit of a fuss but nothing major really... But the bottom through have just popped through and boy do we know about it!!
I *think* it's what is causing Grace to not eat or drink right now but can't be sure
She's developed quite an oral aversion to having anything put in her mouth by someone else... I guess it must feel quite strange suddenly having these big spiky teeth in your mouth where there were none before...
Even pure Juice, her favourite foods (blueberries, frozen bananas, spaghetti hoops), ice-cream etc are being refused
She's managed a couple of humzingers today but that's about it!
Even calpol and reflux meds she won't take and she's normally fine with those... We've never had a problem getting them into her before!
She's over her horrendous temperatures (40+ all night long!) thankfully but is doing her usual thing of can't maintain a normal body temp once she's asleep now so she's in a sleep suit, gro bag, and has a duvet over her... She woke up crying because she was so cold! Plenty of cuddles soon warmed her up though
Has been nice getting cuddles from her though as she isn't normally very cuddly - but the whine-ing today has driven me a little nuts!!
She's also got impetigo poor kiddo! The antibiotics for it are absolutely disgusting - think bitrex...
I finally got one dose into her today - mixed with grape juice and mango puree - but she needs it 4x a day
Why on earth can't they make these things paletable, and why oh why do they stick these nasty colourings in them, it doesn't NEED to be bright orange surely!
She was prescribed the version without sweetners but they can't get it! So it has to be a sugar free version, thankfully she doesn't react to sorbitol but aspartame makes her very irritable...
What do they do if someone can't have any artifical sweetners?!
The GP the receptionists spoke to later wasn't very helpful - suggested mixing it with yogurts... Erm no the pharmacist specifically said DON'T mix it with anything like that as it's supposed to be taken without food, so juice or fruit puree but not anything with protein in... (and she can't have dairy anyway which the GP would have known if he'd looked at her notes!) But it is the best antibiotic for the job unfortunately and it is pretty nasty poor kiddo...
Anyway that was a bit of a ramble!
