First topic message reminder :lilly has been poorly for a few days, ended up down the hospital yesterday late afternoon as she was screaming in pain and wincing (sp) for about 4 hours whilst at my grandmas (me lilly my dad and little sister had planned to go to her for lunch as i dont see her that often shes 86 and has a social life better than anyone i know and she still drives lol!)
but anyway lilly was screaming saying my ear hurts over and over i gave her medicine which didnt help, she wouldnt let me take her temp then when i finally managed to it was 39.4 so i freaked out! rand on call docs who told me to take her to hossie, anyway got there they took her temp and it was 40.6! i was shaking so scared as lilly had gone very spaced out in the car, she hadnt eaten or drank other than 4 oz milk when she got up! doc said she had bad ear infection and it was prob hurting her throat aswell so gave her amoxicillin for 5 days.
well had a rubbish night with her she went to bed at 8pm woke up every hour then woke up at 2am till 5am
she managed to drink some milk at 5am and went to sleep till 7.30am she had some milk when she got up and
seemed to pick up during the day, had some fruit/rasins mid morn then a big bowl of mac and cheese for lunch and a yoghurt, and for tea she only ate some of her potato and a yoghurt.
she then started to get very wingy after tea and was crying and crying which continued until bed time, she finally went up at 7.30pm an hour later than usual as she was kicking off at every mention of bed!! she is getting up screaming every ten mins now and i just dont know what else i can do!
its breaking my heart to see her like it when i go up to her she is shaking and crying her little heart out, her temp is fine atm though, has anyone got any tips to help settle her, she doesnt want milk or even water and i know i will just end up in her bed with her and as soon as i move once she is asleep she will wake up and cling onto me as thats whats shes like when shes poorly
sorry for the long story but i could cry
