Oh. My. The Sequel

[przed]

Yesterday I was saying "Ros is coughing so hard she almost throws up" a lot.

Today you can take the "almost" out of that sentence.

Can it be tomorrow yet?

::Hugs back::

I honestly don't know whether to try and write, watch some TV, or break out the scotch.

*hugs tight!* D: I hope she feels better soon! Poor little thing.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Me too! At least she fell asleep quickly after we'd dealt with the ick factor. Of course this would happen on the night the Sweetie was out at a film.

[mad-lemming-89.livejournal.com]

Ack! D: Typical other halfs, heh - never around when you need 'em...

I'm glad she's getting some sleep though. Probably the best thing for her!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Well, to be fair he was staying home with her today and had his own ick factor. It all evens out in the end.

She actually fell asleep in a few minutes tonight. Yay!

Oh. My. indeed, poor girl, how miserable she must be feeling.. (and you). Not quite the insight you'd expect from a doctor after your first visit! I hope she feels better soon and will maybe even be in good enough health for the camping trip.

[przed.livejournal.com]

At least she's mostly acting like she's okay, but then the coughing will just get to be too much, usually at the end of the day, and she'll lose it. I think that's what happened tonight, her body had just had enough of it all. But with the meds, I'm hoping she'll be totally on the mend by tomorrow.

Also, I hope I don't get it. (I've lost track of how many times she's coughed in my face as I've been holding her.)

Oh no! Poor Ros! *hugs you both very carefully*

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks. This has not been the best week ever. :-/

[soundofthesurf.livejournal.com]

It'll soon get better - I just know it! *hugs you some more*

[przed.livejournal.com]

We are slowly on the way to recovery. And none too soon. I'm completely knackered.

*hugs back*

[soundofthesurf.livejournal.com]

Ah, I love to hear this! I mean about Ros getting better, not about you being totally exhausted. Hope you get a little rest soon, poor thing! *hugs big bear style*

Have these hugs to cheer you up a little?

[przed.livejournal.com]

Those hugs have definitely cheered me up! (They are the huggiest band ever!)

In spite of Ros having two more coughing jags last night, I think we're going to head out for camping this morning. (The coughing jags were much shorter and not quite as severe.) I'm hoping there will be some relaxing at the camp site. Plus, not so much rain. (There's thunderstorms in the forecast. Fingers crossed they're wrong.)

Have a great weekend!

[soundofthesurf.livejournal.com]

YAY!

Have a lovely, fantastic and healthy weekend! Hope Ros recovers in warp-time and enjoys the camping! And that you all have a relaxing good time! ♥

[sarren.livejournal.com]

Poor kid :( Hope she gets better soon, and no one else comes down with it.

[przed.livejournal.com]

That's definitely my hope. Though I've had her cough in my face so many times now I'm resigned to coming down with it myself. ::sigh::

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

It's tomorrow so I hope you slept a little bit. Poor wubbies. All of you need some TLC.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Last night was...not great. We're hoping the meds start seriously working today so we don't totally lose our camping weekend. Fingers crossed.

[moth2fic.livejournal.com]

I do so hope she's better soon. I'll be offline from this afternoon for about a week so I hope to hear better news when I return. Meanwhile, don't reply because things will have changed so much by the time I get online again!

[gritsinmisery.livejournal.com]

Motherhood's such a joy. They hurt, so you hurt, and sometimes you just have to wait it out.

[przed.livejournal.com]

Not being able to do anything to help her when she's freaking out because she can't stop coughing, that is the worst thing ever.

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I hope the poor little mite is feeling better soon. ♥

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Drayce. Me too.

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Urg. I've had pneumonia and have been at the cough and puke stage, but it's different if you're an adult and know you have to prepare with the right utensils for dealing with that. Poor Ros. I hope she's better really soon. And I look forward to meeting her in person!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Ros just gets to the point where she's crying with frustration at the coughing thing. Though to her credit, after the throwing up incident, she put a death grip on the stainless steel bowl we had in her room for just that purpose.

Here's hoping the meds work today. And it'll be great to see you soon!

[kayberrisford.livejournal.com]

Eeep! Poor Ros and poor you :( Hope she's better soon!

[przed.livejournal.com]

It has been an...interesting week.

BTW, I totally owe you an email, but you might say I've been a bit distracted. The new story is nearly at 9,000 words, so I may clean it up to send it today. There's still no need for a real beta on it yet, though.

[kayberrisford.livejournal.com]

Oh, no worries, I totally understand that life gets in the way :) Looking forward to reading, as and when, though :D

[halotolerant.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor wee thing :( Coughing is a really unpleasant symptom to have, it leaves you so tired. I hope she's brought up the worst of the gunk now and can get some rest.

♥

Last night pretty much sucked--two more long coughing jags at midnight and 3 a.m., then a nosebleed in the morning--but she seems to be slowly getting better. She was sinking in the evening, but didn't have the crying freak out we've seen the last few days, so yay?

Now I just need to convince myself to go to bed early to recover from the sleep debt.

[halotolerant.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Nursing people is haaard. I hope for both your sakes the antibiotics really start doing their thing and she begins to feel much better, and you both catch up on sleep. I see above you've set off camping - I hope you have a better weekend ♥

[przed.livejournal.com]

The antibiotics do seem to be working. She finally slept through the night last night, and she's only occasionally coughing during the day. Yay!

[sooguy.livejournal.com]

Awww, that sucks. I hate it when the kids are sick. Especially to the point of puking.

Is it a cold? Or flu?

We tried a kids version of the neti pot when Paige gets post nasal drip and it helps to keep her from choking on her own snot and puking.

[przed.livejournal.com]

It's pneumonia. (See previous post.)

She's slowly getting better, but man, it pretty much sucks.

[st-crispins.livejournal.com]

Ah, motherhood.

Much sympathy. [see icon]

[przed.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

She's doing much better now at least. I'm hoping tonight is my second night free of calming down a kid who's having a crazy awful coughing jag.
