Adric's first hospital stay..

Adric is in hospital, for croup - it's a viral infection that causes inflammation of the upper airways.. Poor baby had fever of up to 40.4degC (omg!) and lots of coughing.. We brought him to A&E on Tues night, doctors gave him some steroids, and after 2 hours, his barking cough did not get better, so he had to be admitted..


The first night was bad, Adric was so uncomfortable that he could not sleep at all, latching helps a little but poor baby was still suffering.. Second night was bad too! Adric's fever shot up to over 40 degC and remained high for a long time..
After some medication, sponging and lots of TLC, things got abit better after the second night..

The hospital stay was not all bad, Adric had the company of his toys, IPad, 'bear bear', biscuits (all his favorite stuff..) as well as..

some fish watching at the pond..

some driving around..

and lots of TLC from daddy and mummy!!

I am not happy that Adric got sick, but to look on the bright side, I'm glad to have the chance to spend all this time with baby ( I spent the last 4 days n 4 nights at the hospital without going home!)..

Doctor says Adric can most prob be discharged tomorrow.. Though he is still coughing, his fever has stabilized.. 
Get well soon little darling! Daddy mummy loves you so so so much..
