bradyell Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Hey Miranda, First of all....you poor thing, and your daughter too! I've been a nursery nurse for 14 years and sick children are no fun at all I can only imagine how much worse it is throughout the night!!! Another suggestion which you've probably tried.... have you thought about propping her up a little, maybe a couple of books under the legs of the bed at her head end. That way she's not flat on her back which doesn't help at all with the whole phlegm thing! And maybe avoid dairy for a few days as that tends to aggravate the "gunk" as my friend calls it!! (she had a similar prob with her 2 year old and just had to ride it out!) I'd also cover the bed by her head with a couple of towels that way you can just whip those off and replace if she is sick rather than having to completly stip the bed. I hope your little lady is better soon and you both manage to get a good nights sleep soon! x
pembie Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 I have about 4 poilows do raise me up so I'm sitting up in bed but at night because I have stomach probelms I have a towel I sometimes lay on because I used to cough really bad at night would it help your daugther if she was sitting up abit in bed ? I take Gaviscon Advance just before I go to bed and that sorts it it coats the stomach because doctor told me it was acid at the back of my throat causing me to cough and making me sick could that be the probelm with your little girl ? I had to go to hosptail because coughing was so bad and making me sick hope your little girl gets better soon
HighwayUnicorn Posted June 2, 2011 Report Posted June 2, 2011 Wow, your daughter sounds a bit like me. The past couple of years, I spend most of my time with my head down the toilet, throwing up. I'm always ill. But that's not including hangovers! I do the same as Tele & Steve when I have a cold. I bump myself up with pillows and have olbas oil just in case. Although it doesn't do a lot, it can help for the night & gets me through it. As for the sickness, have you tried giving her flat lemonade? My mum always does it for me & it can help. & as for food, a plain biscuit? Or dry toast? That's all I can suggest. It always helped when my mum did it for me. But saying that, sickness for most people lasts a day or two but your daughter is obviously very ill. So that may not be the suggestion. I hope your daughter gets better.
Zetti Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 Men do one thing and then do something else to contradict their first actions. If he is doing the whole hot and cold thing then just rise above it. Dont react. If he doesn't want to be friendly then it's his loss. You deserve better than a guy who can't even have a civil conversation with you even via Facebook. Hope this helps hun x *hugs*
Zetti Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 It sounds like a tough position but if he tried to force his religious beliefs onto you not caring how you felt then you are totally better off without him. You will find someone who loves you for you. He us out there somewhere ( your own Aden)
Zetti Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 It sounds like a tough position but if he tried to force his religious beliefs onto you not caring how you felt then you are totally better off without him. Maybe once he has grown up. He will realise what he lost and then if you want to, you can build up a friendship. Just PM or Facebook me if you need to chat or rant You will find someone who loves you for you. He us out there somewhere ( your own Aden)
Miranda Posted June 3, 2011 Report Posted June 3, 2011 To Bradyell, Pembie, Carina. (and anyone else I've missed out) Sorry I did not reply earlier, I was busy with my daughter as you'll obviously understand. I was so busy I FORGOT, yes, FORGOT to watch Home and Away yesterday dear oh dear. We took her to the doctor yesterday, who diagnosed abdominal migraine caused by stress. I didn't realise 5 year olds cuold get stressed, but seems so. I have had ab. migraine for years so she must have inherited it. Thanks for your suggestions, we do most of them, but its always nice to be reassured that we are doing the right thing. She is much better she has been eating and drinking and walking and bossing me about, which is always a good sign. Thanks again. Re: ex boyfriends. They are always a problem, believe me. Sometimes its better to make a clean break. I dunno. I think Facebook makes it worse sometimes...
pembie Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 Hey Miranda I just thought I would ask how your daughter is Is she any better ?
