The sick applies to Katelyn and daddy. Katelyn officially has her first cold. She's congested and Monday night was the worst night since birth. Poor Kate did NOT feel good and her screams proved it.
Daddy was really sick on Monday, either the flu or food poisoning that lasted almost 2 days. Hopefully he'll be better tomorrow. Mommy's fingers are crossed.
That made mommy the loan caretaker of miss katelyn. I eventually got 2-3 hours of sleep, but it was rough. Hopefully she will get better soon but at the doctor today he said it usually lasts 3 weeks since they don't have an immune system. 3 WEEKS???? REALLY????? DANG! Hope I survive those 3 weeks, or better yet I'm praying for a speedy recovery...my baby is advanced in other ways, so maybe he immune system is advanced too. Luckily there isn't congestion in the chest. Funny how life changes when you have a sick child.
We were already scheduled for her 1 month check-up today. Here are her other stats: 10 lbs, 5 oz. in weight and 22.75 in length. High 90s for percentile. Good job Kate. Other than the cold you got an A+.
Please say some prayers that sweet baby Katelyn's recovery is fast and it doesn't get any worse.
Hey! Since you have already been to the doctor I am sure he has told you but just in case: A couple of phone books under her crib at the end where her head is will help her breathe better. Also a humidifier running to help loosen everything (I know humidifier on the South, I am crazy!) And don't be afraid that blue ball thingy (we called it a squeegy.) Good Luck!
ReplyDeletePS - I love this blog, you are so good about posting and I love hearing all about Kate!
oh, baby kate!! your first cold. i hope you are feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteashley, yes! be friends with the bulb sucker. if you need a lesson, let me know and i'll pop over. with all the boys issues, it's been a great tool. we also use a humidifier (make sure it's the cool mist kind) and prop up the head of the bed with a thick book.
hang in there!!
ps—katelyn is going to pass max in weight in like 15 minutes!!
