The (half) English patient

Maud is poorly!

8 months of life and Maud has her first real bad day.
Half an hour crying just before we were going to go out yesterday afternoon really isn't like Maud at all.
So a quick temperature check showed 38.5 ....Oh
a couple of hours later and its risen to 39.2 ....Oh, time to break out the paracetamol.
4 o'clock feed went down without a problem, and then came straight back up again with all the rest of the days food in tow, i never knew a babies stomach could hold soooooo much. Maud is officially sick.
Still, the paracetamol seems to be working and she is down to 38.6 and not looking quite so bad as before.
A couple of hours later and Maud starts burning up, 39.4 and crying again ...eek, and we can't give her any more paracetamol. A trip down the doctors revealed nothing serious amiss, but she wouldn't drink and wouldn't eat so not much else to do other than wait, give her another paracetamol, put her to bed and let her sleep it off.

As before Maud gets my place in the bed and i get the living room floor.

Today shows a much improved little Maud, hungry as a bear but still not tip top, until i got the camera out......

Hope little M is feeling better. Ask your doctor about using Ibruprofen with paracetemol. That's what we use if we can't get the temperature down and it's always works well.
