Flu Jab and Fatigue

19th January 2010 by Hellie

Tycho who is teething like mad, I can see several white pegs coming through now, went for his Swine flu jab today. I wouldn’t think babies remembered 4 months back but he seemed to know exactly what was gonna happen and started crying as soon as the nurse told us to put him on the bed. Poor Tyke :(

So far so good, he is still troubled by his teeth and has lots of gum pains, but doesn’t seem to fussed about the injection. I guess we’ll have to see how the night goes. He is already yawning plenty.

My fatigue is bad today. I guess it comes from weeks of no proper sleep. It feels like gravity suddenly changed and my body is made of lead. I really hope for the teeth to pop through soon so we can go back to full nights sleep. Oh glorious days of 11 hours sleep, how I miss thee!

Goodbye Tummy Bug Hello Teething

17th January 2010 by Hellie

Yes, the tummy bug is gone. It took him more or less 10 days before he started eating properly again. However he is still refusing food from jars. So it is only home-cooking that works. Oh well I guess it is better that way anyway!

But the teething is back, three new teeth in the upper jaw are showing up. With the teething are the sleepless nights back once again. I don’t think I have had a proper nights sleep for over 2 weeks now. So it is fair to say my fatigue is not happy. Or indeed it is happy and back. Makes me wonder what it will be like coming back to work when I can’t lay down and have a rest during the day. If it wasn’t for the two naps he has when I lay down with him, I don’t think I could even function. It does scare me a bit what it will be like going back to work, I do miss working, but I wonder what my fatigue and all that malarkey will do. I have been so lucky not having any relapses, so I guess it is far to say the more stressed and tired I am the worse my MS gets. So I really hope that things will be ok once I got back to work too.

Sick

7th January 2010 by Hellie

Sorry I haven’t blogged in ages! I really would like to do it some more. Christmas was really nice, we all enjoyed ourselves with too much food and staying up too late. Tycho got lots of presents that he has enjoyed playing with.

This week however hasn’t been so much fun. Poor Tycho has had a stomach bug since Sunday, he spent Monday throwing up and producing nappy after nappy with watery stinks. Since Monday he also has been more or less refusing to eat. Even bottles are hard to get him to take, all he wants is to breastfeed. As I have only been breastfeeding him maybe twice aday since November but body got a bit of a shock, and I have been rather worn out.

I went to the GP yesterday as I had discovered a big lump on my neck. Thankfully it is only a swollen gland, as I have been fighting of some infections. Finding that lump kinda reminds you that just because you got MS doesn’t mean you are immune to other things either. I guess I have been a bit neurotic with things like that. Specially since a friend of my husband just died of complications of cancer and he was only 32.

Well I better be off to see what I can trick Tycho to eat for dinner, he has been refusing to be spoon-fed but I have had some luck with finger-food, so I thought I would make some homemade oven chips from a baking potato and see if he will go for that.
