Who would have thought.............


Who would have thought that a tiny little guy like this could cause so much worry for his Mamma?
Well, he has succeeded this week, yet again!  A few more grey hairs on my head I presume, and another year or two off my life for the anxious, sleepless hours spent pacing the floor with my feverish, wailing little bundle.

Yes, that's right..... William has been unwell again.  Nothing like the first year of life for my other two, he's had so much sickness!  My thoughts are that his rocky start to life, plus that first respiratory tract infection at 3 weeks of age have made his system more susceptible to general congestion and "clogging".  I have had around 2 hours sleep in the past three days, and he has had only a little more than that.  We wound up at the emergency department for a few hours last night and it seems Will has a middle ear infection, and possibly a urinary tract infection as well.  :(  They are testing the urine sample in the lab to be certain, and further investigating will follow if needed.  For now, anti-biotics, panadol, breastmilk, sleep as he can get it, and lots and lots of cuddles!  Your prayers would be appreciated for his continued healing.  And for my sanity.........

Hope the antibiotics are kicking in and you are getting a bit more sleep. It is very difficult when they are unwell - physically and emotionally.
All the best.

Poor baby! He's been through a lot. Cakes was sick far more often as an infant than Bee, who was only sick once during her whole first year. Our doctor said it's because while Cakes was a baby, Bee was in preschool, and was bringing home all kinds of germs.

As someone who is also prone to clogging up, I can relate to poor William's struggles. I'll be praying for both of you!

Oh the poor little thing - it's awful when they're unwell. Will be praying for both Will & you. Hope you can get some rest today.

My goodness only 2 hrs sleep! I feel for you and poor little William!!! Thinking and praying for you! Just think, after this first year - he'll have a much fortified constitution to see out any future battles! (well here's hoping :-))
