Sleepless in BR
Barnabas, Belle, Clarissa, Health, Parenting February 26th, 2007Another sleepless night for me. My boy was not able to sleep well due to his fever.
I brought all of them to the clinic in the afternoon. Gave them medicine. Belle slept from 5pm till 8.30pm. When she got up, I noticed some rashes on her neck and her body was covered with red patches, very slight. She said it was itchy. Hmm…must be the antibiotic. No more antibiotics after that.
Clarissa slept for 2 hours but my boy only dozed off for 15 mins only. Later managed to get them to sleep by 10.30pm. My boy having a slight temperature but I did not gave him any medication. While washing the dishes, I heard him cried. Gave him some fever syrup, carried him for a while, he slept. Then I continued with my washing and cleaning till 11.40pm.
Around 12.30mn, he woke up. Vomited and his pyjamas was soaked with his sweat. Undress him and carried him out to cool down his body. Around 2.30am, he woke up again. Dapped his forehead with wet hanky. He slept.
4.30am, he woke up again. Gave him some milk but he didn’t wanna sleep after that. His temperature is high again. Hubby carried him, he cried. I tried breastfeeding him to sleep but to no avail. I gave him some fever syrup again. Finally at 5am, he slept after carrying him around the room.
My alarm triggers at 7am. Time to get up to go to work. I am so so so sleepy.

Hope Barnabas gets well soon. It is really hard on you .. i am sure… especially since you have to work. We are in the same situation.. but PB takes turn with me.. if chloe wakes up at all time of the nite.. and we donch have to be at the store till noon… so we are luckier in that sense.
Take care Miche..!
