Little Brother Nearly Here
This week has been better for Beth - less coughing and a decrease in seizures - one day we had only one seizure, which was great. Looks like she is getting back to "normal". Hopefully this means we can increase her ABR and looks at reducing back her meds a little bit to the pre-virus levels. We have already reduced the mogodon a little.
But the real focus this week has been getting ready for he new little brother who should be arriving any day now! Most things are now in place, so just some final shopping to stock up and a few other odds and ends and we are as ready as one can be for a new bub! Stay tuned! We continue to appreciate your prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy little one. Praise the Lord!

Croupy Cough
Beth is starting to pick up a little, she is eating more and has finished the course of antibiotics. The only thing she still has is a very chesty sort of seal bark type cough, which apparently is a symptom of croup. The pediatrician things she may have croup but says it is viral so antibiotics won't help and unless she gets another fever or other symptoms, it should clear up in a week or two. So here's hoping everthing has cleared up and all is well before the arrival of our new little one - only a cople of weeks away now! Jo is feeling tired, big and pained, which is to be expected. We go for our next ultrasound to get a peek tomorrow, so we are looking forward to that.
Appreciate your prayers for everything to go well with this new little one, we are trusting the Lord, and looking forward to it!

Beth is feeling a little better!
Good news, Beth is feeling a bit better the last few days. Although she still has a cough, it does appear to be clearing up, and she is starting to increase her food intake again, which is another good sign.
We have also been able to get the ABR machine onto her a lot more in the last few days, without any complaint, so that is another bonus.
We had physio come out this week, and she has had a look at the information we supplied concerning the HOPSA dress, and she likes the look of it. She is going to see whether we can get it through any funded means if possible. She is also going to start the process of with getting a stander for Beth as well. I passed on to her a link to Leonid's videos on the standing frame, so we are interested to see what comments she has to make.
Physio also gave us the contact details of the incontinence support people, which we have contacted and they are going to arrange to come out to assess Beth - if it works out they may be able to help support with supply of nappies for Beth.
Latest news on the new arrival also known as baby "Bean" at the moment, is that the ultrasound showed steady growth, slowing a little - now on the 90% centile for weight. All looks good in terms of brain etc, and the obstetrician is happy with progress. Apprecaite your continued prayers for a safe arrival for bub and mum and for a healthy little one! |

Beth on Antibiotics
Beth has had a marginally better week, with the pediatrician putting her on antibiotics as she has developed a congested cough, so to prevent any infection setting in we thought it best to nip it in the bud. Seizure activity has reduced, but is still there, hopefully it is the sign of recovery though. She is still not eating her normal amount, but no vomiting this week, yay!
The pediatrician still wants to wait and see before making any medication changes hoping things will return to normal after this all clears up. We also purchased the Safe-n-Sound AHR Maxi-rider which Beth looks really good in. We only need a few towels at her bottom to giver her a little support, but otherwise she is sitting nicely in it. Hope to get a photo of her for the next update.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers again! |
