Finally! EG and I got much needed rest last night after bubba finally went to bed at 11-ish.
We'd actually put him down at 8pm, but he woke up EVERY half-hour thereafter. It took a lot of rocking and swinging and singing before he fell asleep eventually in my arms. I fell asleep too, sitting in the armchair cuddling him!
So today we woke up at the normal time (phew!) and 'coz he's still a little sick he's pretty whiny. Whinge...whinge...whinge...mummy...mummy...mummy... I think he's actually recovering 'coz he only ever does this when he's getting better and has enough strength to hold that pitch-perfect whine. The grating one that tires you out just listening to it.
But at least he's not as sick anymore - fever broke yesterday. Which was a good thing considering the three, yes you heard me right, THREE hours spent waiting at the eczema clinic at the Children's hospital. We attended a lecture on how to provide relief for eczema sufferers, waited for another 2 hours to see the doc, spent just 10 mins with a super-fast talking Dr. Lakshmi who steamrolled through her diagnosis, and popped out to get his medication and more DermEze.
One good thing about being on the dole though - consults and medication are cheaper, or free! His Elidel cream (which'd worked before, when Yuls gave us some left-over from ZG's bout with eczema (even though I know you're not supposed to share prescriptions)) came to only $5 down from $32! Woohoo... I get another cheap refill, then a private script for it will cost full-price.
Anyhoo! We're off on a holiday this weekend (Sun arvo to Tues) to the coast - Queenscliff! With the Chews, and our two respective family nannies - Evie and Ellie! Haha...
