Cuddles for Kaden

Over the last few days Kaden has been a little unwell, he came home from nursery early on Thursday as he had been sick. Kaden was sick again a little on Grandad but that was the last time. On friday and a little today Kaden has had some loose nappies and has been off his food, earlier today Kaden was really upset so we gave him some neurophen and Kaden had a cuddle from me and fell asleep. Once Kaden was asleep I lay him on the couch and Rimmer decided to give Kaden a cuddle too! Even although Kaden teases the cat The cat still comes back for Cuddles!

Off Nursery

Kaden has been rather unwell over the last week, I had to keep him off nursery.  He was very heavy with the cold and had high temperatures and all he wanted to do was sleep.  The cat was lying beside him at one point and Kaden didn’t even touch him! Kaden has started to feel better now as he has started to pick on the cat again.  The only thing is he has passed it on to me!

Nursery Day 3 or Not

Wednesday was supposed to be my last day of work for the week and Kaden’s last day at nursery however because Kaden ended up at the sick kids and was really unwell i phoned my work to explain that Kaden wasn’t well enough to come in so we both spent the day at home. Kaden was very unsettled but all i could really do for him was give him cuddles when he wanted them and some calpol and neurofen when he was due them. Kaden had a good 2 hours sleep in the morning and about 3 half hour sleeps in the afternoon. Granny and Grandad popped in for a little while to see how Kaden was too.

Thursday:-

We had a morning in our pyjamas and lazing on the sofa until about 9.30am then Kaden went for a 2hour sleep and i went back to bed. Kaden had ate better and has taken more water and had a good 3 hour sleep in the afternoon. Kaden also played this more with his toys but still needed lots of cuddles. I think the antibiotics hve really started to take effect!

A trip to the Sick Kids

When i got home from work I got cuddles from Kaden, That night I decided not to give him a bath and put him straight into his pyjamas as he was really cranky. We were waiting for daddy to bring Kaden his supper and bottle and Kaden had fallen asleep in my arms (which he never does). After about half an hour Kaden woke up and took some of his bottle. When it came to bed time I just couldn’t get Kaden to settle in his cot so lay beside him on my bed and he fell asleep. Around 9pm Kaden woke up burning so after trying to get his temp down we took him to the sick Kids as it just wasn’t shifting and Kaden wouldn’t drink.

We got to the sick Kids and gave the receptionist our details and what was wrong with Kaden then went down to the triage bit,where after about 20 mins a nurse came and spoke to us, took Kaden’s temp which was high and measured his heart rate using a moniter that attatched to his big toe. After that a doctor came to speak to us and took us to a consultation room where he asked us what was wrong then looked in Kaden’s throat and ears and felt his tummy. The doctor said that Kaden’s throat was a little red and his ear was red on the inside causing concern. He gave us anti-biotics and weighed Kaden to see what weight he was. Kaden now weighs 20lb 7oz! The doctor was really good with Kaden making him smile while he was trying to look at him.

When we got home it was about midnight, we managed to get Kaden settled but he was in our bed that night. At 2.30am Kaden woke up screaming so i stripped him down to his nappy and sponged him down. At that point i couldn’t give him calpol because he had some only 2 hours before. I managed to get Kaden settled but he slept in his nappy with a light cover over him to keep his temp down but still had a really restless sleep.

Feeling Better

Over the last couple of weeks Kaden has been a little unwell with tonsilitus. When i took him to the doctors he got some antibiotics. Kaden has started to feel better but his appatite wasn’t very good. I think though that after what Kaden has ate today he is making up for lost time!

Kaden’s Menu Today:-

Breakfast: 2 weetabix and 6oz milk

Lunch: Half a jam sandwich, half a banana, some organix carrot sticks and water

Tea: Home made fish pie and some milkybar

Nightbottle: 6oz and some baby rice!

Not Very Well

Kaden has been a little under the weather over the last few days with a really heavy cold and last night Kaden had a very unsettled night waking every hour or so crying and was unable to settle back to sleep,so when it was 3.30am i decide i had enough and went downstairs with Kaden to let him play. I had tried all i could i gave Kaden some calpol, rubbed in some snuffle babe vapour rub tried him with a little bottle which he didn’t take. Eventually after about an hour or so Kaden and i both fell asleep on the couch until 6am. At that point i gave Kaden his usual morning bottle but he was still not wanting to take it so i then tried Kaden with a weetabix which he ate. Kaden was a little sick after his breakfast so i had to give him a bath. All morning Kaden was crying on and off and falling asleep but waking up after about half an hour so we made an appointment at the doctors at granny’s since we are here for a few days stay but it wasn’t til 4.10pm. We decided to go into the shops at Galashiels and bought some neurophen for kids and gave some to Kaden.This medicine helped Kaden quite quickly soothing any pain that Kaden was in giving him a good snooze.

When it was time for Kaden’s doctor appointment he seemed a little happier giggling and smiling. We went into the doctor and he had a look in Kaden’s ears and in his throat.The doctor also listened to his chest and back. It turned out that Kaden has tonsillitis   which explains why he has been so miserable. Kaden was given some Amoxicillen antibiotics which we collected from the chemist. Hopefully it won’t be to long before Kaden is back to his usual cheery self!
